| Commentary: | Graffito of a ship, located on the western face of Pier A81. The graffito is incomplete at the top and at the right end, and damaged at the bottom, where the plaster has detached. From what is extant, it is possible to identify a ship sailing on starboard tack. Sails, mast, and rigging were not incised, and the only recognizable element is the στόλος at the prow. |
