Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
SIT: ʿr{ṣ}f for gbhf.
Commentary
The reading of the third name as {g}bhf follows the letters of the copy even though it produces a name which is difficult to explain. The circle of the first letter is rather small for a g but if it is read as an ʿ the author of the text would have been using two different forms of the letter. The third letter has no indication of a circle and from the copy should be read as h.
