Commentary

Images in Garovaglio 1879: tav. II c (drawing = Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 278, tav. VI.8a), Rhŷs 1914: pl. III (photo), Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 278, tav. VI.8b (photo = Morandi 2004: 800, tav. XXIII.160), Morandi 2004: 628, fig. 20.160 (drawing).

Inscribed on the inside of the patera across two fragments, between frame lines. The larger fragment was seen in the museum by Rhŷs 1913: 39, III.1.3, who could not quite make a reading; Rhŷs 1914: 9 f. tried an upside-down dextroverse reading ]rkiumu[ with inverted mu. Sinistroverse ]rḳịmu[ from Whatmough PID: 102, no. 295 (also Solinas), who calls ki "at least doubtful", and "the whole [...] altogether problematical, though it can hardly be mere ornamentation". Referring to Garovaglio's drawing of both fragments, Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 189 f., no. 8 adds a iota at the end ()rkimui), despite the line being decidedly oblique (also Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 147, Tibiletti Bruno 1990b: 109 f.). Lejeune 1971: 72 f., n. 251, noting the short oblique trace in the upper area before rho, infers upsilon (]ụrkimu[i], cf. Morandi ]?rkimu[, who prefers epsilon to compare bergimus). The unidentifiable letter after rho (cf. CO·14) together with the uninterrupted zig-zag (cf. NO·1 and, with Whatmough, TI·1) make the inscription somewhat dubious – possibly pseudo-script? But cf. TI·34.3 ]rkomui.
