Commentary
First published in Bianchetti 1895: 69 f. (no. 21). Examined for LexLep on 20th April 2024.
Images in Lejeune 1987: pl. XIIIb (photo = Solinas 1995: tav. LXX d and b), Morandi 2004: 566, fig. 12.48 (drawing).
Inscribed on the opposite side of VB·3.1, near the innermost of the white bands (length 4 cm). The letters, particularly the first upsilon and omicron, are scraggly, but neat. After the sequence lutou follows a separator of two dots, two oblique lines and one straight line. The lines after the separator were read as iu by Bianchetti (also Kretschmer 1905: 99, no. 21, Rhŷs 1913: 62, no. 20 (c), Whatmough 1933: 111–113, no. 304 (c), Pisani 1964: 286 f., no. 124 (c), Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 144, 146, Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 162–164, no. 10), while Lejeune 1987: 497 identified them as "symboles" (thus implicity also Morandi 2004: 550–552 no. 48 B1, who reads lutou). Negligible Solinas 1995: 375, no. 128 3, who includes a spot of surface damage as an additional separato (lutou:i:u). Since the last two lines do not meet at the bottom, we agree with Lejeune. The function of the lines after the separator is unclear; cf. VB·3.2 for a short sequence with internal separation. lutou may be a personal name, though the spelling of the ending would be irregular; see the word page for possible parallels in the corpus.
