Neither the gloss "double" of LS2 nor "evidently" of Payne-Smith (and Audo) seems to be quite correct. Rather the context always refers to equivalence and reciprocity of severity. For extensive discussion and attestations see J.B. Segal, BSOAS 20(1957): 516ff. (although it is unlikely to be correctly read in that particular inscription!)
