## Remarks

A small tablet from the palace at Phaistos, among the oldest in Linear A, and a text with no numerals: I-NA-WA · A-RI on the first line, then I-ZU-RI-NI-TA, A-RI again, and I-DA-PA₃-I-SA-RI. It shares the roots of the later libation formula, √n-w-y “dwelling” and √y-š-r “righteousness”, and spells the dwelling with a plain NA where the stone vessels write *301. The stand-in follows the size the record gives; its outline is its own. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.
