commentary
As Kaibel notes, the letters of line 1 are also likely to be part of a name. The monumental size of the letters strongly suggests a building inscription from an architrave or similar (compare, e.g., ISic003330 from Halaesa), although the vertical arrangement over three lines is not so readily compatible with this.
