Interpretation

Commentary
The author does not clearly distinguish between certain letters. The first and third letters of the author’s name, for example, could be r, l, or n. The final name seems to be hʾby upon close inspection, which corresponds with the genealogies mentioned in RWQ 150 and WH 3606. Josef Bloomfield
