First published in Bianchetti 1895: 69 (no. 18), 124. Examined for LexLep on 20th April 2024.
Images in Piana Agostinetti 1972: tav. XXXI.10 (drawing), Solinas 1995: tav. LXXIc (photo), Morandi 1999: 171, no. 15 (drawing), Morandi 2004: 548, fig. 11.47 (drawing).
Inscribed in tidy letters on the shoulder of the flask between two painted bands (length 5.7 cm). The reading is in principle unproblematic (Kretschmer 1905: 98, no. 18, 103, Rhŷs 1913: 61, no. 18, Whatmough PID: 113, no. 306, Pisani 1964: 284 sub no. 120, Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 165, no. 12). Solinas 1995: 376, no. 130 transliterates uase kia and draws attention to a short vertical scratch between epsilon and kappa. The scratch in question, a 2 mm vertical line between epsilon and kappa, between which the distance is very slightly larger than than between the other letters, is judged to be accidental by Morandi 1999: 170 f., no. 15 and 2004: 550, no. 47. Cf. VB·3.2 for a similar situation. Though kia is attested on another vessel from San Bernardo, we prefer a reading as a single word, also for linguistic reasons.
uasekia is a personal name in the nominative; see the word page for details.
