Commentary
First published in Barelli 1877/Garovaglio 1877. Examined for LexLep on 2nd April 2025.
Images in Barelli 1877/Garovaglio 1877: tav. III.40 (drawing), Oberziner 1883: tav. XIX.14 (drawing copied from Garovaglio), Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 277, tav. V.6 (photo), Solinas 1995: 358 (drawing).
Inscribed on what seems to be the inside wall of a patera, starting at the rim and running inward; only one frame line and parts of the first two letters are preserved, but the presence of a second frame line can be inferred from comparison with other graffiti from Rondineto. Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 187 f., no. 6 reads sinistroverse p̣a[ or ṿa[, while Morandi prefers the reading with opposite orientation lu[ as in CO·10 ("in ductus sinistrorso", but surely dextroverse?). With regard to the overdrawn line of the first letter's hasta, TB's orientation seems more likely to us; the exact form of alpha cannot be determined. The placement of the inscription wth the frame is similar to that of the aev-inscriptions CO·53 and CO·54, but the letters would have had to be exceptionally tall if they had been 
(already upright as in CO·54) and 
. More likely is yet another abbreviation of a personal name.
