One complete and one or two partial letters preserved on the fragment. TB reads aịṣ[, Morandi va[. Whether the first letter is alpha or waw depends on the dating; Morandi gives the 5th/4th century, but that is probably based on palaeography. Morandi cites PID: 103 f., note XVI, but all the graffiti listed there are accounted for – does he mean that this inscription is the anonymous one one which Whatmough lists on p. 103 sub no. 298 ]ais[ (CO·17)? If so, Whatmough must have made a mistake in not flagging this graffito as one of the ones he saw in the museum rather than in Garovaglio's tables.
