Commentary

Bibliography

The reunion of both elements is due to Robert Arlt. The fragment bearing Nakanishi and von Hinüber 2014, p. 110, § V.2, № 4 fits perfectly in the top right corner of the slab bearing Nakanishi and von Hinüber 2014, p. 110, § V.2, № 3. The text is closely related to Nakanishi and von Hinüber 2014, p. 110, § V.2, № 1, in part misread by Nakanishi and von Hinüber 2014, which further supports this juncture.
