Commentary

First published in Kasseroler 1957: 102 (M 619). Autopsied by TIR in November 2013.

Pictures in Kasseroler 1957: Taf. 42,1 (photo = Franz 1958c: Taf. 7,1), IR (drawing), LIR (drawing), MLR (photo = Franz 1958c: Taf. 7,1).

Length 1.2 cm. Theoretically legible as ini or iuii. Franz (p. 67) and Kasseroler (p. 79) read INI in Roman letters. Added to the corpus by Mancini, but belonging with a number of potsherds from the Himmelreich bearing diverse characters which are clearly non-script.
