## Remarks

A fragment of a stone vessel from the Iouktas peak sanctuary, published after GORILA: ]I-PI-NA-MA · SI-RU[-TE, the fifth and sixth words of the libation formula as IO Za 2 and KO Za 1 write them. What came before I-PI-NA-MA is lost with the stone, and TE is read beyond a damaged join after RU. The record gives only a stone vessel; the stand-in is a piece of the wall of a serpentine bowl, broken off before I and mended across the join; its shape and size are its own. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.
