In contrast to Morandi ({{bib|Morandi 2004}}: 630) we do not count this inscription as "boustrophedon" since the two lines are both clearly sinistroverse and only oriented bottom to bottom (cf. {{bib|Morandi 1999}}: p. 179 ("falso bustrofedismo"), fn. 92 {{bib|Tibiletti Bruno 1969b}}: pp. 207-8, nr. 28,Tav.

Commentary

Images in Garovaglio 1883: fig. 1 (drawing = Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 285, tav. XIII.28a), Rhŷs 1914: pl. II (photo), Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 285, tav. XIII.28b (tracing), Solinas 1995: 354 (drawing), Morandi 1999: 179 (drawing = Morandi 2004: 628, fig. 20.161) and 202, tav. XV.1 (photo = Morandi 2004: 800, tav. XXIII.161).

Two groups/lines of letters inscribed on the foot of the vessel. Seen in the museum by Rhŷs 1913: 39, III.n.2, who read two words written sinistroverse in false boustrophedon piuai | aa 'Aa for Biua' (also Rhŷs 1913: 8 f.). Whatmough PID: 102, no. 296 p·nại | aḷ, yet again with a "certain" surprise punct, and notes that the last two letters in line 1 are "apparently conjoint"; new reading by Conway in 1930 pnei | aa or vv (p. 630). Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 207 f., no. 28 reads mẹḳị | ṿạ or mạḳị | ṿạ, taken as one word (also Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 147), observing that the "conjoint" letters in line 1 (read as a ligature) are reminiscent of dubious ki in CO·13. Morandi 1999: 179 f., no. 27 also reads one word, but without ligature meiva (also Morandi 2004), despite noting that the two letters in line 2 are identical (cf. Solinas 1995: 354, no. 87 ṃẹịạạ).

Dated to the 4th c. BC because of upright alpha by Morandi 1999: 179, which is hardly reliable considering the doubtful reading.
