Commentary
In the copy in fig. 11 the last letter of the second name is drawn as a much longer line than it is in the photograph. It is shorter than the l and longer than the n's in the text and there is some doubt as to how it should be interpreted. The third w is written to the side of the preceding ʾ and the following ṣ.
