== Commentary ==
First published in {{bib|Marinetti 1992}}: 696 (no. 4). Autopsied by TIR on 16<sup>th</sup> November 2015.

Image in {{bib|Marinetti 1992}}: Fig. 1.4 (drawings = {{bib|LIR}} = {{bib|MLR}}).

Length about 3 cm. The first character is probably {{c||M|d}}, though the last bar is decidedly curving inwards. The next character is read {{c||V|d}} by Marinetti; only the angle {{c||line v 01}}{{c||line d 02}} is well visible, the traces above it are very faint. In the area to the left, the surface is even more heavily damaged; Marinetti reads {{c||A|d}}{{c||K|d}}, which is possible, but doubtful. See [[index::Non-script notational systems|here]] for a discussion of possible interpretations of inscriptions with doubtful status.
