Commentary
First published in Mirabella Roberti 1962: VIII, no. 940.
Images in Tibiletti Bruno 1964: tav. V, fig. 1 and 2 (photos = Clauss-Slaby = CIL Archivum Corporis Electronicum), Clauss-Slaby (drawing, source not indicated).
According to Morandi, the inscription was only found in the early 1960s after a restauration of the object. Inscribed in tiny letters formed of dots, on the outside directly beneath the rim of the cup, all from one hand according to Tibiletti Bruno 1964: 185 (with a detailed description). A discussion of the two onomastic elements ibid. 185–188: uecon seems to be abbreviated with a single dot, but not irumeli; since an abbreviation of filius is absent, TB concludes that both names are in the genitive: uecon(is) irumeli 'of Ueco Irumelius', an owner's inscription. She seems to assume that irumelius is in essence an old patronym in a not yet Latinised name formula, but in that case irumeli could as well be a genitival patronym going with an individual name in the nominative uecon(i)us. On the Latin indication of the cup's weight see p. 188: p stands for pondo 'weight', s: (s=) for bes (two thirds of a libra), sc for scrupula (1/24 of an uncia), followed by the numeral II 'two' – 218.3 g + 2 x 1.14 g = 220.6 g, about 10 g more than the damaged cup's current weight.
The name ueco° may be Celtic (cf. ueca at Levo), while irumeli may be Ligurian; see further on the word pages.
