Textual Notes
CV 1: The initial א is fairly legible and the letter second to last letter looks more like a י than a ו. No name ישליה is known in the Judean/Aramean onomasticon, and its meaning would be dubious. Thus I assume the initial א, which is effaced was an erasure in antiquity, and the second was kept but read as ו.
CV 2: א defective. The name is spelled גוזה in the Bactrian wooden tallies (e.g. ADAB D.1.1). According, to the editors, it is perhaps of Elamite origin.
