I suspect you are mistaken, since no PONO is noted in either Ziegler
or Munnich for any ms. Codex 967 is noted to read: NABOUCODONESOR
DIOIKWN POLEIS KAI CWRAS. It is of course quite possible that 967
reads POLIS for POLEIS (=itacism). That would look very much like
PONO in capital script. If you send me the url for 967, I'll have a
look.
