Commentary

First published in Mancini 1995: 147. Autopsied by TIR on 13th October 2015.

Image in Mancini 1995: 147 (drawing = Schumacher 2004: Taf. 11, 2 = LIR = MLR).

Length 2.1 cm. The scratches are very fine, but the characters are unambiguous. The bar of Upsilon is rounded, probably because of the curvature of the surface (cp. TR-1.1). The four lines after the punctuation mark are E s rather than I sA9 s as read by Mancini. The punctuation mark looks intentional, but can neither be evidence of syllabic punctuation, nor does it make sense as a separator. The sequence is obscure.
