C 5176

Interpretation

Commentary: Unfortunately,Torrey did not publish the two copies and a squeeze available to him, since "the drawings do not agree with each other nor with the squeeze and it is impossible to make out anything legible" (1931: 175). This is borne out by R Bertolino's photograph on which the letters are so faint, and the surface so covered with other marks, that it is not possible to make a coherent reading.
