The orientation of the inscription is ambiguous – either {{c|A|A3|d}} or {{c|N}} is written upside-down. Above representation chooses the sinistroverse reading with straight {{c||N}}; compare [[index::BZ-2]] for another inscription which might be read dextroverse with upside-down {{c||N2|d}} (and straight {{c||E|d}}). The {{c||Θ}} in {{p||θ}}]{{w||anu}} read by {{bib|LIR|Mancini}} is not verifiable: The stroke in question (see his drawing) is not as deep as the others and may not be intentional.

Commentary

First published in Franz 1959: 228 f. Autopsied by TIR in November 2013.

Pictures in Franz 1959: Taf. 3,5 (drawing) and IR (photo tav. LVI, fig. b; and drawing = LIR).

The orientation of the inscription is ambiguous – either A3 d or N s is written upside-down. Above representation chooses the sinistroverse reading with straight N s; compare BZ-2 for another inscription which might be read dextroverse with upside-down N2 d (and straight E d). The Θ s in θ]anu read by Mancini is not verifiable: The stroke in question (see his drawing) is not as deep as the others and may not be intentional.



Notes -> to complete: First published in Torggler-Wöß 1953b: 442, fig. 2. Torggler-Wöß however mentions remains of an inscription and only two characters. Characters scratched after firing (cp. p. 443). Fig. in Lunz 1974 (ol. 73.1) right, but rather an object edition.
