We propose $\mathcal{ T}_{ 13} = \mathcal{ Z}_{ 13} \rtimes \mathcal{ Z}_3$ as the underlying non-Abelian discrete family symmetry of the asymmetric texture presented in arXiv:1805.10684 [hep-ph]. Its mod 13 arithmetic distinguishes each Yukawa matrix element of the texture. We construct a model of effective interactions that singles out the asymmetry and equates, without fine-tuning, the products of down-quark and charged-lepton masses at a GUT-like scale.
