There is a lot here that I don't think is wholly down to handwriting variation and the difficulties of writing small, though that could well be in play too. The first character looks to me like an s stacked on top of an e, not just the usual flourish added to an e, and very deliberately so. The second word has a well-formed y over it, not just the standard flourish. There is also the standard paleographic comma in the middle that I cannot make sense of and does not appear in the Takeshi transcription (I did not check others).
Now, I'm the first to say there is nothing like putting forward a "looks like" post to get a bunch of "no it doesn't" responses, but I'd be curious what others think here. I've noticed this pattern elsewhere, and from other scribes, but this little snippet seemed especially clear and compact
