Commentary

First published in IR.
Pictures in Nothdurfter 1979: 100 (9) (drawing), IR (drawing) and Mancini 2010 (photo and drawing).
The top half of the second Θ s is hardly distinguishable due to corrosion. Possibly followed by a third I s on the right - compare the same row of signs on scythe rings (SZ-44.1, SZ-45.1, SZ-46.1 and possibly SZ-47) and probably a chisel (SZ-50).
