Commentary

First published in PID: 630, no. 298 ter.

Included in the addenda of the PID as seen by Conway in the museum in 1930; no images and not seen by anyone since. Highly likely to be a doublet, but of which inscription? Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 218 f., no. 44 suspects CO·30 with the second line o due to a confusion with the number "o" of the entry in Garovaglio 1879, but PID does not mention Garovaglio here, and the sinistroverse al could hardly be read as sinistroverse la. I'm inclined to think CO·12; the reading o / la is without the incomplete letters at the breaking edge, and the letter height of 4 cm may mean both lines together – Whatmough often had trouble with Conway's autopsy notes.
