fragment 36 may be neglected as very probably not in place here.
2 The whole passage, including the name of Puyemre, is marked by a series of blunders of the restorer,
nor is it clear why there had been erasure. Possibly it had been only a natural injury. He applies a feminine
adjective to Puyemre {m$c.1 !}rw), and by so doing not only shows that the ending t had already lost its
sound, but also reveals his own probable identity with Simut (Plate XL), whose graffito shows the same
grammatical error. See p. 92.
