Commentary

Remarks

*In one frame with A 443, A 445, A 445.a and A 445.c-A 445.g. Apparently, the upper part of the string hole space is preserved on the recto (lower part on the verso).

Philological commentary

n1(klyo)mune: -mune is a frequent suffix, but because of vowel weakening it occurs only after consonants. Therefore, this seems to be the only possible restoration.
