An excellent article, very well researched and very well thought-out.  I would 
have liked to see a photo or two of the ostracon just for reference, but 
that's a minor point.

My bigger concern is with the errors that continued to be propagated in the 
DJD volume in question.  I wonder how many young researchers are just going 
to see that material and not realize that the view expressed there has been 
so soundly rebutted, and so just take DJD's word for it?  I don't suppose 
there's a way to get a newer edition built with these things corrected? Or 
perhaps the publishers could release some sort of addendum to it that details 
the problems with the material in the main volume?  I don't know what the 
actual solution would be, but it seems to me that there should be some way to 
balance things out vis-a-vis the DJD entry, as that is likely to be the 
primary source for the next generation of researchers.
