Commentary
First published in Dal Rì 1987: 178 (no. 732).
The object, whose surface is much damaged, is inscribed with numerous groups of characters, applied with differend instruments and clearly independent of each other. During autopsy we detected the following:
On the circular surface which is almost completely preserved,
- a potential letter
, though with doubtful upper part, carved very slightly. - a group
in the cavity on the edge, deep and clearly readable, apparently applied after the piece of stone had broken off.
On the circular surface which is only half preserved,
- rather long and thin remains of scratches, on of them in the shape .
- right beside the breaking edge, two deeply and broadly engraved lines, possibly the remains of a letter
(height 2.1 cm).
On the side,
- one asterisk
, and to its right the remains of what is most probably another. - a sequence
near the upper edge. - the remains of lines, damaged by a break, in the lower area.
- a shape .
See here for a discussion of possible interpretations of inscriptions with doubtful status.
