Or, r[illegible: 1+ letters]kon thy [illegible: 1+ letters]ead, i. e. thy name or thy person, to wi[illegible: 1+ letters], among his servants, which is added ver. 20.

This seems the truer interpretation, because it is said that Pharaoh lifted up the head of his Butler, and o[illegible: 1+ letters] his Baker, ver. 20. and therefore the phrase must be so expounded as to agree equally to both.
