There are three scribes on this tablet: the first (scribe 9A) wrote r. .1-5 and perhaps the original .6; the second (scribe 9B) wrote r. .7-11 and the whole v.; the third ( — ) wrote r. .6 after the erasure; the second or rather the third scribe is responsible for all the check marks ( × )… unless this was a fourth one (the chief distinguishing feature of the three scribes is VIR, but the order in which the leg-strokes cross each other does not seem to be as decisive as Bennett thought).
