This line is a good example of
how two different readers can see completely different things. The
reading here is that of the original editor of this text, who wrote,
"It seems probable that the subscription referred to in line
2 falls here. Capito is sure, but all before that name
except it is very doubtful."
In fact, even Capito is not quite right. While one might
agree with the identification of individual letters, the fact that
the editor could not make sensical words out of these letters makes
the reading suspect. The strokes of ink he read twice as it
are in fact an h, a realization which helps lead to the
correct reading.
