Apparatus
3Jaussen and Savignac's facsimile records b-byth Q(rn)w, while Mordtmann's facsimile b-byth W(d). Unfortunately, the photograph in Müller, David H. 1889 is illegible. However, the second restoration is more plausible ("the document in the temple of Wd" instead of "the document in the temple of Qrnw").
6the editors prefer to correct ʾḥl into ʾhl, but this is not necessary as ʾḥl "property, goods" is well attested in Minaic and Marginal Minaic.
