• pu-ro on v.3b, v.7 and v.11 is written large in an unlined left column providing context for the rest of the sign groups. Similarly, the pu-ro on .3 provides context for .2 sign groups. Lines .1, .4 and .5 begin to the far left at the same edge as pu-ro elsewhere.
• -ja on v.3a is above the te in ko-ma-we-te- on v.3b

In your transcription of PY Tn 996, is there an error in the transcription near the end of the second line? When I look at pictures of the tablet itself, the number after the glyph for vessel 219 clearly appears to be a 3, not a 2. See the picture at http://www.daimonas.com/pages/editing-greeks-history.html/.
Hello, Ray! It’s always possible – transliterations are always subject to human fallacy. :)
“2 [” in the Wingspread convention indicates that the tablet is damaged to the right of the certain 2 strokes. It’ll be awhile before I have a chance to return to the source material and see if a photograph or facsimile is available for review. In the meantime, I’m afraid I can no longer view the HTML page mentioned above – is it still available? I’d love access to a digital photo if one is available.
Thanks!
