Commentary

Line 3, written in smaller characters, probably brought information of a lesser status than the preceding lines. The ending might belong to a verb at the imperfect, but none can be chosen because of the lack of parallels. They are not fitting any known formula of artist's signature. Those vestiges are too poor to allow any hypothesis.
