Images in Lejeune 1987: pl. XIIIa (photo = Solinas 1995: tav. LXX a), Piana Agostinetti 1972: tav. XXXI.12 (drawing), Graue 1974: Taf. 30.3 (drawing), Morandi 2004: 566, fig. 12.48 (drawing).
Inscribed below and to the left of VB·3.4, at the same height as VB·3.1 above the outer of the two white bands (length 1.2 cm). Detected and read enu by Rhŷs; Whatmough's (PID: 111–113, no. 304 (e)) etn inexplicable (also Pisani 1964: 286 f., no. 124 (e)). The letters are more deeply incised than those of the other inscriptions on the flask; together with the placement of the sequence out of line with the other three short inscriptions, VB·3.5 may be a later addition. enu qualifies as a personal name or abbreviation; a connection with VB·3.2 inou seems possible.
