Wouldn't it be A^6 (A2 signed 'A') according to John's advice?

I just came across situation similar to Lenore's pamphlet.
Birckmann's 1560 reissue of Levita's Lexicon Chaldaicum (originally
published: Isny : Fagius, 1541) has a bifolium with a new titlepage and preface wrapped around the first (unsigned) 4 leaf gathering of Fagius's edition.  The second leaf of the added bifolium is signed "A."  Following John's advice to Lenore, the collation would be: pi^6 ... (pi6 signed "A").
