Commentary

First published in Tibiletti Bruno 1965c. Examined for LexLep on 17th October 2023.

Images in Solinas 1995: tav. LXII d and LXIV a, Morandi 1999: 166 (drawing) and 192, pl. V.1 (photo = Motta 2000: 214, fig. 22a = Morandi 2004: 784, tav. VII.24), Motta 2000: 214, fig. 22b (photo = Morandi 2004: 784, tav. VII.24).

Inscribed on the shoulder of the olla along the neck (length 7 cm); well legible. The letters are preserved on three separate fragments, but only final sigma is damaged in the lower area, but a small trace indicates that it is S2 s like initial sigma rather than S s.

setupokios is a dithematic masculine personal name in the nominative which is also attested on the Briona stela and abbreviated in MI·6; see the word page for details. If the grave in which the inscription was found is indeed that of a woman (thus Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 159), the inscription is more likely to be that of a previous owner of the vessel than to have a connection with the burial.
