Commentary

First published in Morandi 2004: 706 f., no. 279.

Images in Morandi 2004: 707, fig. 33 (photo and drawing).

The fragment preserves the middle part of an inscription between frame lines; both ends of the frame are lost, making the document undateable according to the system of De Marinis & Motta 1991: 206). The letters are damaged, but reasonably well legible; the letter to the right of the separator is a slightly wiggly line which could be iota, but is more likely to be intended as four-bar sigma, considering that the other sigma, also with four bars, is also quite flat. In terms of letter forms, the writing direction is ambiguous. Morandi's reading assumes dextroverse writing: ]uisou:ṣo?[. We are inclined toward a sinistroverse reading ]?os:uosiu[, since °os makes for a more plausible ending than °ou.

Already mentioned (without readings) in Tatarinoff 1924: 125, PID Add.: 629, Lejeune 1971: 5, no. 10.
