Commentary
First published in Barelli 1877/Garovaglio 1877. Examined for LexLep on 2nd April 2025.
Images in Barelli 1877/Garovaglio 1877: tav. I.18 (drawing), Oberziner 1883: tav. XVIII.6 (drawing copied from Garovaglio), Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 280, tav. VIII.13a and b (photos), Solinas 1995: 354 (drawing), Morandi 2004: 800, tav. XXIII.159 (photo).
Written in two lines on the foot of the vessel, between and separated by frame lines; only ca. 2.8 cm of each line are preserved. A section near the breaking edge has splintered off since the 1960s (visible in TB's photo) and taken most of the third letter of line 2 with it. Whatmough PID: 102, no. 294, noting the "badly formed letters", read ]pạ.[ | oṭ[ in two sinistroverse lines with the same orientation. Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 193 f., no. 13, read sinistroverse false boustrophedon ]ạto | ṇaṃ[ (alpha from traces in what is thus the lower area of the first line; Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 147 and 1990b: 109 with opposite order of lines nam[ | ]to). As per Whatmough with the two lines in the same orientation Solinas 1995: 353, no. 85 nap[ | ot?[ (also Morandi). Don't think TB's reading is negligible; trace of letter before 
is easier to explain, and cf. CO·14.
