Commentary

It is the editor's view that the letters should be read from right to left. No letter-form is compulsory. However a vacat seems to exist at right of T, a letter with which no Greek word could end. We thus follow his reading.

Due to the date given by Boardman for the ware, it seems compulsory to read the third letter as a mu, because san, which would be another possible reading, is no longer in use at the time.
