Commentary
Pi is one of the letters (together with Lambda and Upsilon) which serve as a basis for distinguishing the Magrè and Sanzeno alphabets (see Script): The variants 
, 
, 
, 
with an angle (sometimes rounded), often termed "Venetoid" in the TIR, are attributed to the Magrè alphabet, while 
with a bar on top extending against writing direction is used in the Sanzeno alphabet.
While the schibboleth letters mentioned above do usually appear in the expected forms and are grouped together appropriately in numerous inscriptions from both alphabetical contexts, the letter form ←
/ 
→ (Magrè Lambda) does crop up in Sanzeno context, where it is not only incongruous, but in some cases must clearly be read p instead of l. We even have cases where all three forms ←
, ←, ←
(or the other way round) appear together, being one clear (Sanzeno) Lambda, one clear (Sanzeno) Pi, and one letter of doubtful ascription.
← = Pi (isolated, content-related arguments): BZ-9 , possibly NO-13
← = Pi (together with ): CE-1.3, SZ-22.1
← = Lambda? (but from Sanzeno context, together with ): SZ-87
← = ? (triple combination): SZ-15.1, SZ-30
← = consequently dubious (Sanzeno-context): NO-11, VN-2, VN-3, and a great number of inscriptoids from Sanzeno
