Textual Notes
cv too difficult to read.
Rotation: top-to-bottom
Document is severely effaced, and interference from the palimpsest is difficult to disambiguate from the overwritten text. There palimspest may have two different compositional acts on it, or the ostracon was used as a note pad then reused for a missive. The placement of the letters of the palimpsest violate standard alignment and line spacing.
