## Remarks

Small shield-shaped stone vessel (GORILA's “coupelle”) from the Troullos peak sanctuary, with the formula running clockwise round the rim in three stretches. The stone breaks after U-NA-KA-NA-SI and again after SI-RU; I-PI and the final TE are restored from parallels. Only the first stretch has word dividers. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.
