Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
LP: emmends the third letter to d and reads the altered bn as w which is translated as "and". The commentary suggests that the first two names might be read as one "wqmws¹m" "may he humble and poison" i.e. his enemies. wrd is translated as "he drew near". JVR p.33: emmends the second w in LP's copy to bn.
Commentary
The first bn has been changed to a w by the addition of lines joining the n to the arms of the b and a crossbar see K 277. There is a second line inscribed along the curve of the first r which gives it the appearance of a m.
