Commentary

First published in Marinetti 1992: 697 f. (no. 7). Autopsied by TIR in June 2015.

Image in Marinetti 1992: Fig. 2 (photo = LIR).

Well legible. K d and A3 d are unambiguous, U2 d is really a smaller chevron with the right line prolonged – Schumacher considers this prolongation a slip of the tool; t as suggested by Marinetti is improbable. See here for a discussion of possible interpretations of inscriptions with doubtful status.
