I understand that the "on-line facsimile" comes from the BASOR article, and
therefore reflects the re-examination of the original by Zuckerman et al.
(which, BTW, is probably far better than one can ever achieve through a
"magnifier"). So there is no attempt to read the text "beyond what has been
published", but merely a modest attempt to help Jack G., who said he was
unable to make sense of it.
