- Commentary
- The reading of the first name is clear. The first letter of the third name is written on a curve in the direction of the text and it is rather ambiguous as to whether it should be read as a z or a s¹. The next letter is a f and the following letter is almost certainly a b judging by the other b's in the text and the shape of the r in ThSaf 18. Both zfb and sfb would be difficult to explain as names and it seems possible that the b is dittography which the author did not erase when he decided it would be better to write the b with the following n slightly above the end of ThSaf 18.
