Commentary

Not previously published.

Length of the remains about 3 cm. Despite the fact that the fragment is deformed and damaged by heat and corrosion, and the scratches have been traced with white paint, the reading is secure. Cp. terisna in BZ-26, but note that in BZ-27, both S s and A s are turned against writing direction in context of the Sanzeno alphabet used on BZ-26.
