The third textile quality is a small fragment of weft-faced tabby with spliced S2*z threads of ca. 0.45 mm in diameter in both directions. The fragment preserves part of a side edge of the fabric. The edge shows a particular reinforcement technique where the weft passes over and under the two last warp threads when it arrives at the edge. A similar side edge has been observed in a 5th c. BCE fabric from Kerameikos, Athens (Spantidaki 2016, 65, Fig. 5.28, Cat. no 10).
