Commentary

Oval stone with an inscription.
According to the picture of IT-6 stone in Tischer 2006: fig. 13 (without indication of the dimension!), both "stones" could not be compared related to the dimension, although the italian term ciottolo used by Perini (cp. Perini 1978: 77) can signify either stone or river pebble.
To compare by autopsy: detailed dimension, interpretation, comparison of both stones
