GL1228_02

• Superior document: Squeezes
• Series: Squeezes
• Physical Description: 1 sheet
• Notes: This squeeze preserves Lines 9-25 of GL1228, though not all of the text in these lines is legible, either because of the state of the squeeze or because of the fragmentary state of the inscription itself when the squeeze was made. There is some overlap with GL1228_01 around the middle of the inscription.
