| Comments on Text Layout |
Wide line pitch.
The text was placed in the upper third of the surface of the potsherd, with very small margins at the the right side, and somewhat broader margins at the left side and on top. The lower two-thirds remain uninscribed, except for the a bit distended last sign "1" of the last line. |
