Comments on Text Kraeling (p. 296) debated the possibility of reading "10" as the first number in the date. The surviving right side of the stroke is high on the line and contains a rounded ductus. It is, almost certainly, the edge of a "10" stroke. What these means for the recalculation of the date is yet to be determined.
