"Comparativement au relevé de Pichler 2001 (in reality 2000!), notre lecture de cette inscription apporte plusieurs rectifications. Encore une fois, les dimensions exagérées du caractèrepar rapport à celles des autres caractères pourraient plaider pour une fonction de séparaeur de 'mots'. Remarquer la coexistences de trois points et de trois traits dans la même ligne"
