Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
LP 954: the copy is interpreted as being incomplete and the end is read as zʿb bn but in the commentary Littmann suggests that perhaps the name zʿbrn should be read. JSafN p.101: L mddn bn zʿr rn; translation of rn "He has cried loudly [here]. RyLPAdd p. 350: zbrn for zʿb bn.
Commentary
The first two letters are direct hammered. The identification with LP 954 is not absolutely certain. It is possible that H 78 should be identified with it instead of this text. Both K 171 and H 78 have a hooked lām auctoris whereas that in LP 954 is straight. However the z in K 171 is more like that in LP 954.
