Commentary

First published in IR. Autopsied by TIR in November 2013.

Pictures in IR (photo tav. XLIX, fig. a and drawing = LIR).

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.


Notes: First published in Torggler-Wöß 1953b: 442, fig. 1. Scratched after firing.
