Textual Notes
Fold break on right edge. See Röllig 185 and footnotes to von Pilgrim. This was found in the Uncertain that this is written cc. שערנ: Röllig notes that the word should be שערנ. It is. This form of the ר is found on multiple documents from Elephantine, mostly in common words such as בר “son.” shall bring it.: In Aramaic in inanimate objects are “brought” with √יבל. People and animals are “lead” √דבר (contra Röllig). וחפה: the ח is clear, though the left stroke merges with the tale of the פ, perhaps leading Röllig to read ת. I read the word here as a proper name and the subject of the verb. The name is unattested.
