Commentary

The very scanty information about this small fragment does not allow to restore its meaning. The editor's transcription seems to take the two letters as the end of a word. No similar ending helps to guess which word. Conversely, we might have here the central syllable of the word for 'tithe' (see IGCyr004200).
