Textual Notes
cc pal 2: A small diagonal stroke is clearly present between the א and ל. One is tempted to read להלחיה, but the grammar of such a word/name is impossible. The lack of a clear word space in the string is problematic. Admittedly, the idiom "life goes" is difficult, but cf. Ecc 4:15.
cc pal 3: perhaps: [באת]⸢צ⸣
cv pal 2: One expects ש 𐡘𐡘.
cv pal 4: perhaps Sindata? name unknown.
Lemaire, "Review," 180: n° 30cv , l ' : probablement un shin après «Il» ; ligne 3>: probablement
PRNDT (cf. n° 93cv , 3) plutôt que Pl:INDT (?).
