Commentary
Possibly a fragment to be read with another preserved fragment at the site. It could give the beginning of lines 4-6 of Kotumpalur 8, which is on the block continuous to the right, although a continuous reading is not warranted, which, however, could be explained if Kotumpalur 8 and the present inscription are two block fragments of an inscription, of which a third fragment block is lost.
