Length about 8.5 cm. Mancini read sis l/p?(?)un?: Initial on the very right is small and faint, the scratches are probably unintentional. and second are clearer. Next a group of lines of which might be part; the two parallel scratches which cross what would be its left hasta are suggested to be part of a ligature (+ / +) by Mancini. Next, either or with very faint upper half, then with a faded top part. The last character is the inverted symbol (see Non-script notational systems). Despite some readable characters probably non- or rather pseudo-script. For the possible group cp. SR-5.
