- Commentary
- The inscription is carelessly incised, so that several letters cannot be read clearly. It is not clear whether the text finishes with the line 4 or continues in more lines, since traces of more letters can be recognised. The question is whether these belong to this inscription or to another inscription, which cannot be deciphered. The text is very close to U 027, but was not published by Sima 1999.
