Commentary

Images in Morandi 2004: 656, fig. 24.209 (drawing = Morandi 2007: 297, fig. 294), Morandi 2007: 297, fig. 294 (photo).

Fragment of a bone, probably of a goat. The dating to roughly the 4th century BC given by Morandi is based on the shape of alpha, which is uncertain (see the inscription page).
