Commentary

Shape of the characters is singular, with tendence to cursive (Morandi 1999: 185-186, he also remarks, that after the photography it seems to be written into the still moist clay, although Tibiletti Bruno 1978 (?) speaks of scratched after burning). Tibiletti Bruno notes that the reading ericofios in the Catalogo Museo Da Vinci 1959 (p. 21) is "naturally erroneous" (Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 187). For discussion about the shape of the characters see Tibiletti Bruno 1965b: 562-564, fn. 14, fn. 15, fn. 16 (especially regarding the χ).
