Fastest answer I ever got-- thanks, John!
That would fit iconographically, but I don't really see how the partial
letter just after the break can be a P. It definitely has just a
vertical stroke, not the bowed top of a P. Perhaps there was some
partial restoration that mangled the letter.
Can anyone think of a term that would fit, and not require the
assumption of mangled repairs?
Best,
