Commentary
Not previously published.
Image in Mollo Mezzena 1994: 174, fig. 35e (drawing).
The drawing shows fairly clear rho; the lines before it may be read as kappa in a form similar to the possible one in AO·3. The reading is quite uncertain, though. The sequence kr also appears otherwise in the Cisalpine Celtic corpus, but no interpretation can be offered.
