I can't see why Dr. Damschen would read the "x" letters at the end of six marix morix vix as "s" (post #298).
No one wrote "s" like that and many wrote "x" like that (bringing the stroke around and back without lifting the pen). I don't even understand how that could be interpreted as "s". Even if you flip it around it doesn't look like medieval "s".
