Images in {{bib|Lejeune 1987}}: pl. XIIIa (photo = {{bib|Solinas 1995}}: tav. LXX a), {{bib|Piana Agostinetti 1972}}: tav. XXXI.12 (drawing), {{bib|Graue 1974}}: Taf. 30.3 (drawing), {{bib|Morandi 2004}}: 566, fig. 12.48 (drawing).

Inscribed below and to the left of [[VB·3.4]], at the same height as [[VB·3.1]] above the outer of the two white bands (length 1.2 cm). Detected and read {{w||enu}} by Rhŷs; Whatmough's ({{bib|PID}}: 111–113, no. 304 (e)) ''etn'' inexplicable (also {{bib|Pisani 1964}}: 286 f., no. 124 (e)). The letters are more deeply incised than those of the other inscriptions on the flask; together with the placement of the sequence out of line with the other three short inscriptions, VB·3.5 may be a later addition. {{w||enu}} qualifies as a personal name or abbreviation; a connection with [[VB·3.2]] {{w||inou}} seems possible.
