Interpretation
- Commentary
- The author seems to have written ʿl twice before ṣḥr. The ʿ has been lightly scratched over but the l has been left untouched. It is possible that the text continues after the t and so the interpretation is doubtful. Note dkr where one expect ḏkr, a possible Aramaism ?
