General Notes
undetermined if there is a palimpsest
Lozachmeur, Hélène. La collection Clermont-Ganneau: ostraca, épigraphes sur jarre étiquettes de bois. 2 vols. Mémoires de l’Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres 35. Paris: de Boccard, 2006.
Textual Notes
cc 3: The plene spelling of the masculine plural form is unexpected. If כרשינ this will be the first example plene in the corpus, and therefore perhaps קדשינ, although not attest should be preferred. The distinct crown on the first letter eliminates reading *ורשינ "and we sued".
