Commentary
First published in Solinas 2016: 378 (no. 10).
Images in Solinas 2016: tav. LVI e (photo); Marchesini & Stifter 2018: fig. 4.5.10 (photos and drawing).
Length of inscription 5.5 cm, faint but well legible. In regard of the dating, the first letter must be Latinised mu; an interpretation as san is unlikely (Marchesini & Stifter 2018: 149).
The three letters may represent an abbreviation of a name or a mark of some kind.
