Commentary

The placement of the shallow curve on upper side seems to show that not much is lost at right end, so that we might have the end of an artist's signature ἠργάσ(σ)ατο like that of IGCyr019000². But this should not be pushed too far ahead because of the very lacunar condition of the fragment.
