This is a sharper, enlarged crop of the right-hand witness signature from an illuminated ketubah written in Safed, 13 Adar 5642 = 1882 (National Library of Israel record 990003034930205171, original Zucker Family collection, New York). The full lower band with both signatures was posted earlier as ViewMate 115081; a respondent there could read words in the left-hand signature, so this right-hand one is the one I most need help with now. It is a dense Sephardi monogram flourish and I cannot read it myself. I would be very grateful if someone could simply transcribe what the signature says, letter by letter as far as possible, without assuming a particular name.

Thank you very much
