Inscribed Tablet from Smyrna
Compact geometric and figurative marks fill three horizontal compartments on a rectangular tablet. Waddell’s caption locates it at Smyrna and supplies his proposed reading and date. The signs are reproduced as he presents them, while the historical claims attached to them remain his interpretation. No independently established ancient scribe is named.
