¹Charlesworth reads yhwny(w, though I cannot see why. It may be a typographical or printer's error. Return
²Charlesworth reads twl)b; the photograph appears to show a closed letter that more resembles a mem. Return
³There is an erasure in the middle of this word. Charlesworth speculates either byr or bwr, but the remains of whatever letter was there are two dots, one well above and one well below the line of the other letters. I have indicated the two dots and let it go at that. Return
⁴This spot has been written over at least twice, and what is there is virtually indecipherable. There is a large x hanging above the line, and the rest of the letters below it are badly smudged. Return
⁵Two letters have been erased here; they appear to be wy, but this could be questioned. Return
