G.21.337KD.20.339 what ha...ettestG.21.337: The letters <ette> of hettest appear to have been written over a partial erasure, but the <s> and the <t> seem to be written over a space (the result is
that the ink looks slightly different). It does not seem likely that the word was originally "hightest" (as M and possibly
originally Hm), since the second letter seems most likely to have been an <a>. The third letter had a tail which is still
visible and it seems probable that the original reading was hast (see the C manuscript Ch, though the readings are probably coincidental). þou I pray þe / heale not thye name
