Notes

Ferraris (2011) feels that this table should be grouped as a K table. There is good reason for this in that the decan sı͗t is never spelled sı͗t in the T list: it is always srt. Similarly, ẖry ḫpd n sı͗t is always spelled without the n (ẖry ḫpd srt) in the T list. However, there is a problem in identifying the damaged decan ...tı͗ in either list. Ferraris suggests that the reading could be  ...ı͗t, which strongly suggests smd srt, a decan which appears before sꞽt in the T list but never appears in K. However, this decan is never spelled smd sı͗t, as it would have to be here.

Ferraris (2011) supports the identification with the K tables by looking at the position of the middle batten, which he indicates is immediately to the right of the first (rightmost) preserved column of star names.
