Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Winnett: nġḍlh rather than ġṯlh, ʾḫs²mt for ʾs¹lmt, w bhn for w {r}hdt and w bhdlt rather than w ns¹r. DISCUSSION King (1990: 641) commented: "The first letter of the third name of the prayer is larger than the other r's in the text. For this type of prayer, see Ch.4.C.1".
