Textual Notes
Rotation: side-to-side cc 3: אסי : The reading of HL is befuddling and it is curious that Lemaire had not corrected this. The second letter is almost certainly ס and not {ד|ר}. Cf the ר on cv 2. The final letter of the preceding word looks like an א and could be read אלהתא “the goddess.” cv 1: Karsh generally precedes and does not follow the number.
