Commentary

First published in Pellegrini 1918: 174.

Images in Pellegrini 1918: 174 (fig. 6), LIR (photo and drawing).

A shape like a squat Ś s with the tip of the angle touching the bottom of the line. To its right, an angle line d 120 s can be seen next to the abraded breaking edge (?) – conceivably addO4 s or, in line with Raetic writing, Φ2 s, but both characters are unlikely to be letters. As observed by Mancini (LIR MA-22 b), the second piece of lead found at Magrè, also mentioned by Pellegrini, bears a mark in the shape of Χ3 s. The two pieces and hence marks do not belong together.

Further references: PID Vol. II: 48 (note X).
