Commentary
First published in PID. Republished in IR.
Further references: NRIE 100, Battisti 1944: 231.
Pictures in IR (photo Tav. L, fig. a and drawing) and LIR (photo and drawing).
The inscription erroneously bears two sigla SZ-23 and SZ-64 due to having been published twice (see SZ-23 handle). In PID, Whatmough, following Conway, read ilpṣịị, with the last three letters "incomplete at the top". Our reading based on the alignment of the fragments by the project's illustrator endorses the reading of the first three letters. Of the last three, only minimal traces are visible on the leftmost fragment; s is not verifiable. Possibly a piece went missing when the object fell apart. Mancini and, following him, Schumacher kept the fragments separate, and therefore failed to recognise the inscription.
The inscription is classified as being written in the Sanzeno alphabet because of the apparent presence of Sanzeno and
, although there is not enough of it left to be entirely sure of its status as script.
