Commentary

First published in Torggler-Wöß 1953b: 442. Autopsied by TIR in November 2013.

Pictures in Torggler-Wöß 1953b: 442, fig. 1 (drawing) and IR (photo tav. XLIX, fig. a and drawing = LIR).

Formerly HU-2 – the inscription was republished by Mancini as one of unknown provenance.

The scratches can be arranged to read A7 sU2 s ua or Θ sI sU2 s uiθ – the black inlay is misleading, as it does not fill the scratches completely. Probably non-script. See here for a discussion of possible interpretations of inscriptions with doubtful status.
