Commentary

Pugliese Carratelli spoke of a limestone panel and then of letters inscribed before firing («incisi prima della cottura»), as if it was a terracotta; the observation on the stone confirms that it is a limestone block, reddish from the soil.

The few letters still to be read on this side are surely later than the first use of the stone. Nothing can be made out of those poor letters.
