  1. The verb form of the first clause is questionable. It looks like a ‘narrative’ infinitive, but this would be expected toward the beginning of a section or chapter of narrative, not in the middle, unrubricated. Other possible interpretations include a perfective relative form in a nominal sentence (not likely because an inalienable subject would be expected), a misreading by the scribe of šd.n.j, or an infinitive continuing the previous sentence rather than starting a new one: rdj.n.j r tꜣ n wr ḥr ꜥwj.j šdt.j ḏꜣ sḫpr.n.j ḫt (“… I put (some) on the ground because of the great amount on my arms and (because of) my taking of a fire-stick. I made a fire …”).
