Textual Notes
HL may have read the ostracon upside down. 
1. בר פלטו 2. בר ◦◦◦ 3. בר ◦◦◦

The left side of the sherd contains marks that look like effaced numbers or may be erased Demotic signs. The right side contains a list of ends of persumably Aramaic names. This is presumably a jar label. cv 2: What looks like a ל on this line is the bottom of a letter from the previous line meeting the top of a 𐡜 from the lower line.
