Length of the remains about 10.5 cm. The scratches are deep and broad and very clearly legible. The letter preceding is almost certainly : The breaking edge, along which the edges of lines can be seen, runs in a tidy angle. Cp. SZ-2. The reading of the sixth letter as Pi is backed by the excellent documentation of the individual name piθam(n)e. The letter after might be or ; the latter option is more likely, as no trace of the tip of a bar can be made out. See ??? for a discussion on whether the use of -nu vs. -na indicates gender.
