## Remarks

A fragment of a stone libation table from the cave on the lower slope of Petsophas, written on three faces. Face a begins at the break with ]NU and names JA-DI-KI-TE-TE-*307-PU₂-RE, the Dikte title that PK Za 11 continues round its corner; ME is partial and I survives as the tops of its three prongs at the broken corner that ends the face. Face b: JA-SA[ … ] U-NA-KA-NA-SI[, no divider preserved before JA-SA; face c: I-PI[. DI and TU-ME-I are disputed epigraphically. The stand-in is a square limestone table broken away round three sides of its border; its size and shape are not taken from the original. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.
