>Description:

17.2.8 describes $readmem.

It says that when start_addr is not specified, the default
start_addr is the left-hand address in the memory
declaration.

It says that if start_addr is specified, but not finish_addr,
then it starts at start_addr and goes in direction of
right-hand address in memory declaration.

Correct description is that if start_addr is not specified,
it starts at lowest addr. If start_addr is specified, but
not finish_addr, it starts at start_addr and counts toward
highest addr.
