Commentary

First published in Casini & Motta 2018: 121 f., no. 6.

Images in Casini & Motta 2018: fig. 3.6 (photo and drawing).

Heavily abraded and hardly legible. Six intersecting scratches, only one of which is complete. The above readings, beside a third option ]kit[, are suggested by Casini and Motta, with preference for ]tut[. Status as language-encoding inscription uncertain.
