GENERAL NOTES

Garbini 1974 a did not realize that M 391, which he got only from Jaussen and Savignac's pl. XVII/3, had been studied by the two scholars as text no. 25a and had been collected in the RES as number 3704 B (the same oversight in Kitchen 2000).

TEXT

marker


   1  [... ...](s¹)m(([... ...](b)m))

Apparatus
1According to Jaussen and Savignac and so RES, this text has to be restored as [Wdm ʾ]bm. The first letter seems to lack the apex of an s¹, but it is clearly shorter than a regular b.
