| Notes: | Parallel text: P. Mich. inv. 594 ro ll. 18-19 (KYP M15; KYP T922) 1. ⲉϥϩⲟⲣϣ︦ Mirecki (1994: p. 446) translates as “slow” (qualitative of ϩⲣⲟϣ, cf. Crum CD 706a), but it is probably the qualitative of ⲱⲣϣ “be cold” (Crum CD 530a; Westendorf HWB p. 294 s.v. ⲱⲣϣ) and the related form ⲁⲣⲟϣ “become cold, fever” (Crum CD 16b; Westendorf HWB p. 12 s.v. ⲁⲣⲟϣ). |
