## Remarks

An oil account from Tylissos in ruled sections, the oils written as ligatures of OLE: KI-RI-SI takes OLE+MI 6; under a rule, PI-KU-ZU heads OLE+KI 4, OLE+MI 11 and OLE+NE 2; under a second rule, PA joined to OLE+MI, then 220. The lower half of the face is lost, and the line ends are worn away after 6, 11, 2 and PA-OLE+MI and on both sides of OLE+NE 2 and 220. The stand-in keeps only the upper half, broken across below 220; its size and outline are its own. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.
