Commentary

First published in Schumacher 1994: 313f.

Picture in Schumacher 1994: Ab. 4 (drawing = Schumacher 2004: Taf. 12,3 = LIR).

Length of the remains originally 3.5 cm, today 2.2 cm. The fragment was broken into three pieces, but glued together. The rightmost and smallest piece bearing the three bars of E s, the right-side breaking edge coinciding with the hasta (see the drawing of Schumacher), has recently broken off in storage and could not be retrieved. On the smaller one of the remaining pieces, the inscription proceeds with well legible Θ s, followed by a separator. U4 sK s is equally unambiguous; the closeness of the breaking edge to the last letter allows for the inscription to have continued beyond that point.
