Commentary
Upper edge broken; every line broken at the right (GORILA I 295). Reverse (PH7b) has quantities. .3 loses its start and end, .4 its last sign; .1 DI-PA-JA and .2 U-DI-RI-KI are whole. The traces after .2 and .3 may be dotted unit strokes, which would make the face a list of entries.
Epigraphic note
