Commentary
First mentioned in PID: n. XV.
Images in Stöckli 1975: 17 f., fig. 11, Solinas 1995: 327 (drawing), Morandi 1999: 154, fig. 2 (drawing = Morandi 2004: 525, fig. 8.2) and 188, pl. I.1&2 (photos).
Inscribed on the bottom of the beaker below the edge of the shoulder. The implausible reading mχme goes back to Whatmough. Solinas 1995 refers to "segni forse alfabetici", Morandi 2004 classifies the scratching as a pseudo-inscription, its zig-zag elements being comparable to the non-script section of NO·1 (see also Morandi 1999: 154). That the inscription is at least script-adjacent is also indicated by the only plausible letter shape, epsilon with four bars, which is attested in the coin legend NM·6, and otherwise more commonly in the Camunic alphabets, e.g. on the Castaneda flagon from the same area and timeframe as the Gudo beaker.
