Textual Notes
Rotation: side-to-side The meaning of סנתא... is unknown. the reading is certain One is temped to read some form of חסן but the participle seems to never take a determinative. One finds the name Se⸢n⸣teˀ in Phoeniain in the the AIBL account RES 1807 (ID 11947). There may be an attestation of the noun in 10527 CG no. 230. Perhaps סני in the feminine "bramble" is meant? HL read קריא as villiages, but this cannot be correct. that would be *קריתא
