Dorothy Thorn's photograph shows A still readable, because it remained covered by earth, whereas B, exposed to the air since at least 1911, can hardly be traced on the photograph. However, it is clear that only one pi was cut, which as such gives no sense in Greek. The use of the letter H for the initial aspiration and of only one letter for a double stop are two clues for an archaic lettering. Section B would thus be earlier than A.
