copy of an older, barely legible manuscript?

Here, too, a second version has been added.

At the top it says: ytain. At the bottom it says: ytcheb. These are two versions of the same word. When copying the text, the author does not know which version is correct.

And then look at the following text and compare the two based solely on the rough handwriting. Here, too, the author simply used a second version – which was not unusual at the time.

And if that is the case, it proves how difficult it was to recognise the underlying text... which is truly remarkable. Because then, as already mentioned, we have an interpreted version, which logically means that no one can decipher it.
