## Remarks

Painted in ink inside a tall clay cup, the pair of KN Zc 7, from an upper MM III floor above the Basement of the Monolithic Pillars at Knossos. The text runs in three registers round the inside wall, read as a spiral upward from the bottom: *34-TI-RI alone in the first, then A-DI · DA-KI-TI-PA-KU · NI-JA-NU, then one group with a sign lost, JU-KU-NA-PA-KU-NU-U-[…]-I-ZU. Evans reports dividing marks before A, DA and NI; GORILA prints only the last. The chipped rim is the stand-in’s. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.
