Dear Rolf,
I had an opportunity to check the original manuscript at Milano at 09/2004 by
permission of Mons. Dr. C. Pasini. I hope to publish a paper regarding
improved reading of the second column of the palimpsest. Actually, the
manuscript waits to be photographed in UV waves but talking about this word
I'm sure that it is written with double theta, and Mercati's reading has to
be updated.
All the best
Alexey
