| 5 | The reading bny is not certain; it seems that at first the engraver wrote again ʾdm, and then he rectified it. The name Ġṯrbn is new. J. Ryckmans 1965: 327 thinks that the name could be a variant of ʿṯrb (Gl. 1381, CIH 343, 16). |
| 5-6 | mngwt is a plural of mngwm (cf. Ja 645, 18-19; Ja 564, 23). |
