First published in Bertolone 1941: 27 f. Examined for LexLep on 27th January 2022.
Images in Bertolone 1941: 28, fig. 5 (drawing), Tibiletti Bruno 1966: 16 (photo and drawing), Morandi 1999: 173 (drawing) and pl. X.2 (photo = Morandi 2004: tav. IX.41), Morandi 2004: 548, fig. 11.41 (drawing), Rapi 2009b: 213, fig. 1 (photo) and 214, fig. 2 (drawing).
Inscribed on the foot of the bottle, using the rim (top) and a prominent concentric groove (bottom) as guidelines (length ca. 2.5 cm). The inscription is impeded by a small pebble which is baked into the clay and must have been there when the letters were applied (cf. Tibiletti Bruno 1966: 17). Upon reaching the pebble in the lower part of their line, the writer inscribed upsilon and omicron above it, then finished with full-height sigma. Final sigma is only slightly curved, somewhat more prominently in the upper area; the reading is supported by the similarly executed first sigma, but see S on inscriptions in which the reading of similar letters as sigma or iota is uncertain.
Bertolone read the fifth letter not as small upsilon, but as kappa . The linguistically more plausible reading kasikos ) is repeated by Tibiletti Bruno 1966: 15–21, Lejeune 1971: 50, 62, Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 148 f., Solinas 1995: 368 f., no. 113,2, Morandi 1999: 173 f., no. 19, Morandi 2004: 545, Rapi 2009b: 214. However, while small damages below the pebble may suggests the lower tip of a hasta, there is smooth surface between the tip of upsilon and the pebble, without trace of a hasta or lower bar to form kappa.
