Commentary

Does white band serve as bottom line? In that case, the descenders of san could be accidental, and this would be an instance of san1. Cp. also the shape of U at the end of amaśilu; it has the same non-sensical descenders as san; so quite certainly san1 intended. oletu added later to the inscription? cf.
