(and [the] Jew *Q(k)*) which in/on/with Susa to gather in/on/with three ten in/on/with him and in/on/with four ten in/on/with him and to rest in/on/with five ten in/on/with him and to make [obj] him day feast and joy

22 njengokwensuku amaJuda aphumula ngazo ezitheni zawo, lenyanga eyaphendulwa kuwo kusuka osizini kusiya kuntokozo, lekulileni kube lusuku oluhle, azenze zibe zinsuku zedili lentokozo, lezokuthumelana izabelo, lezipho kubayanga.
