- The third name is rather uncertain. It is possible that the second letter is a l running into a k. Alternatively, the second letter might be a ġ with a following short line attached to its curve, in which case the name could be read as mġny. The problem with the latter suggestion is that the other examples of n in the text are dots. It is unclear whether the statement of grieving should be read here or with SAMAS 9.42.1. It is written more carefully than the letters of either SAMAS 9.42.1 or 2.
