Corresponds to t2 in Schumacher 1992 and Schumacher 2004.

See Script and Prosdocimi 1988: 332 ff. on the identification of St. Andrew's cross with Theta. The small variant Θ2 s is reminiscent of the Etruscan/Venetic protoform attested on Venetic *Es 120, but the low dating of the two objects bearing this variant makes an immediate correlation unlikely.
