Commentary

Picture in Solinas 2001: 1,3.

Length of inscription about 3 cm.

Solinas is unsure about the intentionalness of two small strokes, one inside the O3 s, the other to its left; she reads either pou (without the strokes) or pθχ (with the strokes). We suggest poχ as an abbreviation for -bogios, compare NO·21.1, TI·23, MI·6.

Solinas also considers a dextroverse reading uol.
