Commentary

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

Images in IR (photo tav. XLII, fig. b and drawing = LIR), MLR (photo).

Inscription length 4.2 cm. The characters may be incomplete in the lower part, but it is hard to determine how much is missing. If the characters are letters, they are legible fairly unambiguously. Compare SZ-34.
