Inscription
Standard transnumeration: Side a: *164 II *165 II[Side b: *165 II[
Side c: *164 II ●[
Remarks on the inscription: The archaeological context may suggest Cretan Hieroglyphic, but two observations rather suggest Linear A: 1) Signs classified as CH *164 and *165 are ligatures of a commodity logogram with two different fraction signs, which are also attested on Linear A tablets MA 4 and MA 6; 2) the shape of the document (i.e. 3-sided bar) is the same as MA 2.
