Commentary

First published in Franz 1959: 229 (B 2).

Only the upper part of the inscription is left: two strokes, a chevron and probably two more strokes. Franz read iiθi, ignoring the leftmost trace, with Θ s and I s very close to each other - A s (upside-down) would be a more likely conjecture. Compare, however, BZ-20. Probably non-script.
