Commentary

First published in Marinetti 1992: 697 (no. 6). Autopsied by TIR in June 2015.

Image in Marinetti 1992: Fig. 1.6 (drawing = LIR).

The upper parts of all characters damaged by the breaking edge. On the right, a bar line d 20 s, interpreted as the remains of N s by Marinetti. Then probably another N s; next, an oblique hasta (I s?). E s comparatively clear, the topmost bar coinciding with the breaking edge. Last, Χ s inclined to the left. See here for a discussion of possible interpretations of inscriptions with doubtful status.
