Apparatus Criticus
TEXT
Stiehl followed by all subsequent editors, takes this graffito as the first line of the inscription U 028. However, the fact that its beginning is not aligned with the text U 028 and the odd relationship of the words in it to those at the beginning of U 028/1, suggest it should be taken as a separate text.
Farès-Drappeau reads Ṭlm rather than {Ẓ}lm.
