Textual Notes
HL following AD-S sees 7 lines, with line 4 completly effaced. This cannot be so.
cc 2: Lemaire = מינ (180)
cc 4: Lozachmeur's translation and footnote (p. 244 n. 145) came up with [to ]Syene, but she did not supply a transliteration.
cc 6: The numeral 20 is similar to that found on CG no. 078
