Textual Notes
cc 1: Traces of a stroke that could be read as נ survive, but this may be interference from the palimpsest. HL = patronymic of female name because no known female names end in -tan.
cc 4: Error. HL proposes confusion of √שלח and √ישר. This does not explain the use of an afel rather than hafel form, especially since the correct hafel spelling appears two lines earlier.
cv: Traces of two more lines.
