Commentary
First published Poggiani Keller 2001: 388.
Images in Poggiani Keller 2001: 410, fig. 16.4 (drawing), Morandi 2004: 667, fig. 26.215 (drawing), Casini & Motta 2018: 117, fig. 1-a (photo and drawing).
Morandi segments the group of scratches into inverted alpha and san written in ligature, as shown in his drawing; the drawing in Casini & Motta shows an additional little scratch in between which might serve as a forshortened first hasta of san. In any case, the reading is highly doubtful; the status of the incision as language-encoding writing must be considered uncertain.
