| Agostini remarks that the length of the lacunae at both ends of the lines is not determinable, but the possible integration between lines 4-5 and lines 10-11 suggests the missing text consists of few letters. | |
| 3 | w-bny: the w is overwritten over an original b, probably because of a dittography error. |
| 10 | hms¹ktm: uncertain reading of the t. Agostini suggests an alternative reading: hms¹kzm. |
| 11 | wdm: the d is overwritten over an original b. |
| 14 | Agostini suggests the restoration: Wddʾl. However, the reading of the letter ḏ, which normally introduces the name of the family, suggests that the anthroponym may be shorter: we may propose the restoration Wdd. |
