It should be a stigma (for '6'), but I'm not sure what an uncial stigma/
digamma should look like. In printed Greek texts, such as the pages of
Erasmus' Greek NT I've seen, the stigma looks like a final sigma with an
elongated horizonatal upper line. However, I can't tell the difference
between the stigma in the MS and a normal sigma.
