Inscribed in large letters on the shoulder of the bottle (length 15.5 cm); damaged by breaks, but complete. First group of two characters read ''zv'' by {{bib|Tibiletti Bruno 1974}}: 255–259 f. (digamma because the bars are too short for alpha in this phase and zeta is also archaic anyway) and interpreted as an abbreviation, but alpha is surely more likely. After a gap, reading of {{w||ośoris}} clear (ibid. 259–263), probably a personal name (cf. {{bib|Tibiletti Bruno 1978}}: 147). The first two letters are taller (cf. {{bib|Tibiletti Bruno 1990b}}: 112), maybe a separate graffito? Cf. the overall similar [[VB·2]].

Commentary
Images in Negroni Catacchio 1974: tav. I.3 bis (drawing), 181 B (photo = Negroni Catacchio 1975: tav. 170.2), Tibiletti Bruno 1974: 257, fig. 1 (photo and drawing, only of the fragments with most of the inscription on them), Solinas 1995: 341 (drawing), Morandi 1999: 175 (drawing = Morandi 2004: 647, fig. 23.193), tav. XI.2 (photo = Morandi 2004: tav. XXVI.193).
Inscribed in large letters on the shoulder of the bottle (length 15.5 cm); damaged by breaks, but complete. First group of two characters read zv by Tibiletti Bruno 1974: 255–259 f. (digamma because the bars are too short for alpha in this phase and zeta is also archaic anyway) and interpreted as an abbreviation, but alpha is surely more likely. After a gap, reading of ośoris clear (ibid. 259–263), probably a personal name (cf. Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 147). The first two letters are taller (cf. Tibiletti Bruno 1990b: 112), maybe a separate graffito? Cf. the overall similar VB·2. See also Morandi 1999: 174–176, no. 20, Catalogo Celti 1991: 726, no. 300.
