Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- LP: The first two names of the text are read in LP 987 and it seems likely that LP 986 is the last part of the text read in the opposite direction although LP's copy is written in a straight line without bn ʿml occuring at an angle to the rest. LP 986 is read l my bn gml. RyLPAdd p. 350 LP 986: ḥy for my. JSafN p.11 n.18: l my bn ʿml.
- Commentary
- The third bn and fourth name are written at an angle after the ḍ of bġḍ rather than straight on from the second name where there would have been plenty of room. It is possible that the name ml is an error and the author realising that he had left out the ʿ wrote bn and the correct name at an angle to rectify his mistake.
