B146_4c = SE43

• Superior document: Squeezes
• Author: Müller, David Heinrich
• Series: Squeezes
• Physical Description: 1 sheet
• Notes: As with the previous squeeze (B146_4b), the paper was folded in half when this squeeze was made, thus producing a mirror image when folded out. Traces of scotch tape can still be seen on this squeeze. Unlike most of the other squeezes taken from this inscription, the text in this particular squeeze is only in a few places marked with a black pencil. More or less the same portion of text preserved in B146_4b is preserved in this squeeze.
