Comment Rodrigue (unpublished): comment on line 2

It looks like they started the line from the bottom, tried to avoid the bow by sliding to the left, then pecking signs between the lines, at the end making two surimpositions (last three lines too close to each other to avoid them?).

Second sign from above: it is above the polished line on the right and interrupted by the line on the left. If you look very carefully you can see that the writer started to cover the line each side of it, then stopped, as if he didn't want to destroy the polished line. The third sign clearly cuts the line on the right.
