Commentary

First published in Franz 1959: 228 (1).
Pictures in Franz 1959: Taf. 1 (photo and drawing), Nothdurfter 1979: 100 (359), IR (photo tav. XLIII, fig. a and drawing) = LIR (photo and drawing).
Compare the inscription SZ-74, also on an iron farming implement. The white inlay does not fill all the clearly visible strokes.
