Length about 8.5 cm. Mancini read sis l/p?(?)un?: Initial S s on the very right is small and faint, the scratches are probably unintentional. I s and second S d are clearer. Next a group of lines of which A d might be part; the two parallel scratches which cross what would be its left hasta are suggested to be part of a ligature (A d+V s / A d+Z s) by Mancini. Next, either U s or Θ s with very faint upper half, then N s with a faded top part. The last character is the inverted symbol symbol5 s (see Non-script notational systems). Despite some legible characters probably non- or rather pseudo-script. For the possible group S dI sS s cp. SR-5.
