Commentary
First published in Bianchetti 1895: 69 (no. 15). Examined for LexLep on 20th April 2024.
Image in Graue 1974: Taf. 78.3 (drawing).
Inscribed in large letters of the foot of the cup (length 4 cm); the alphabet is Latin. Kretschmer 1905: 98, no. 15, and Rhŷs 1913: 60 compare VB·8 sa at San Bernardo, which could, but does not have to be an abbreviation of the same name. sabi itself may be an abbreviation, but is more likely to be a genitive (cf. VB·12 and VB·13, found in the same grave, as well as VB·14, VB·15), hence our classification as an owner's inscription. Whether the name is Celtic is doubtful (see further on the word page). A connection with sapsutai in VB·3.1, suggested by Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 146, is improbable due to /s/ in the latter form.
See also Danielsson 1909: 31, n. 3, Piana Agostinetti 1972: ???, , in IV Morandi 1999b: 327, no. 18.
