I have to agree with Karl here: I don't see the word "elohim" with or without
a yod in this document. And actually, the purported word in the first line
looks more like )LHN to me, since there appears to be only one hatch on the
top of it (cf. several mems in the second line, all of which have 3 hatches).

This seems to reinforce the ideas that 1) the word is "to them" and not
"elohim," and 2) the papyrus may be written in Aramaic.

Just my brief observation for whatever it may be worth.
