Commentary

Those three letters were not mentioned by other scholars before Reynolds. Probably older than those of IGCyr064920, they seem to belong to the earliest use of the panel, before it being cut off at left. Meaningless by themselves, they might be the beginning of a personal name, either abbreviated, unfinished or erased.

Reynolds' reading was controlled by Rosamilia with the help of a cast kept in Rome. On the original, the letters may be seen only under special light.
