Writing Style:	charcoal
	Graffito Height: 7 Graffito Length: 9 Min Letter Height: 3 Max Letter Height: 6
Apparatus Criticus:	Cf. T16.2, T28.2, and TP71.1. This could be the numeral 72, but οξ nearby (T15.6), which cannot be a numeral, suggests rather the start of a word. Greek offers only a few options, however, none obviously suitable. Neither for this nor for the οξ of T15.6 have we found any term related to ships with this beginning in the index of Greek and Latin terms in Casson 1971.
