Image in Morandi 2004: 566, fig. 12.59 (drawing).
Inscribed on the inside bottom of the vessel near the centre, across two decorative concentric circles (length 3.9 cm); well legible. The letters are Latin, even though the two lower bars of epsilon are obliquely pointing downward. Bianchetti and, following him, Kretschmer 1905: 98, Rhŷs 1913: 60 and Whatmough PID 117 f., no. 316, misread ]onis (cf. VB·13, VB·14); hence Morandi's assumption that the inscription had not been previously mentioned. onesi is most likely a genitive rather than an abbreviation, as common in the Latin graffiti from In Persona; the name is not evidently Celtic.
