⛔ STILL NOT READ after aggressive re-zoom (~18-24x effective), 2026-09-01 (Step-3 follow-up) — confirmed as a genuine scan-resolution ceiling, not a technique limit. The entry reads '[…] piscinae.', one Latin word, plural, and nothing else. Confirmed further than before: the word begins with a peh-shaped loop+vowel-tick, has a lamadh-alaph '-lā-' ligature somewhere mid-word, and ends in a double-hump (shin- or mem-like) letter with a hooked tail. The middle 3-4 letters stay genuinely blurred — further digital zoom just enlarges the same blur without resolving new edges. Convention 5: not written.
