LP 993: ms¹k for ġs¹l
Commentary
There is a scratched cartouche surrounding the text with seven lines attached. The shapes of the l's the ṣ and the y suggest that this shoud be identified with LP 993 even though none of the texts adjacent to each match. The double line of the ġ could perhaps have been mistaken for the m in LP's copy.
