Textual Notes
Rotation: top-to-bottom then 90 decrees counter-clockwise.
cc 4: for ˀWḥy see 10916. CG no. 154. cc. 4. where the meaning is still unkonwn.
Lozachmeur translates: לאחתהמ [qu’]il ne scelle pas. Presumably she read לא חתימ. She does not, however, include this ostracon in her essay on the √חתם.
For the phrase לבר אושיח rather than using the first name of the person, see CG no. 85.
