Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Jaussen & Savignac: md wʿyw wḥd rather than bn s²{m}d {w} {r}ʿy w wḥd. DISCUSSION King (1990: 630) commented: "The nineth letter is much smaller than the m in the first name. The name might be the same as that in JSTham 655. I have read w and r after the d, although it should be noted that there is barely enough room for the restoration of two letters and no evidence from the copy that they should be w and r. The text might be continued in JSTham 658 bis".
