  • nʾ.t=?ṯ? jꜥš: I read the cobra after the writing of njwt as the second person suffix of the goddess. Alternatively the cobra could be a determinative. The reedleaf of jꜥš could be dittography of the first person suffix pronoun, ‘my city’. Both options are given by Nims (1956, 147) and Kitchen (2000, 193). Goyon (1990, 59 with n. 34) renders these verses differently: ‘l’Uraeus (?) [à qui il est] fait appel (?)] au moment du malheur (?)’. He also suggests that the cobra could be a reading of the name of the goddess Renenet.

  • [nn] ⸢wꜣi̯⸣=⸢ṯ⸣: Following Goyon (1990, 59, n. 35) who suggests nn is plausible from the traces.

  • ... ḥr Km.t ...: Although my translation of these verses is literal, Goyon (1990, 59) offers a plausible rendering and restoration: ‘m’en revenant vers l’Egypte, me trouvant dans l’état de [commandant … la decision de m’élire (?) parmi les] notables en tant que Doyen du corps des (policiers)-Medjayou me fut communiquée’.

(A future release of the TLA web app will also indicate the scope of authors’ comments or annotations, i.e., which parts of the sentence a comment/annotation refers to. For the development plan, see here.)
