Commentary
Images in Garovaglio 1877: tav. I.16 (drawing), Oberziner 1883: tav. XVIII.3 (drawing copied from Garovaglio), Pauli 1885: Taf. I.18 h (drawing from Poggi), Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 281, tav. IX.15 (photo), Solinas 1995: 353 (drawing), Morandi 1999: 181 (drawing = Morandi 2004: 628, fig. 20.158) and 202, tav. XV.3 (photo = Morandi 2004: 800, tav. XXIII.158).
Inscribed on the outside (Colonna) rim of the vessel; surface damaged, but letters largely complete. Originally read ]tarise[ (Poggi 1879: 311, no. 44, Pauli 1885: 9 f., no. 18 h, Giussani 1902: 45, Rhŷs 1913: 39, III.1.1h, Rhŷs 1914: 8, Whatmough PID: 101, no. 292); Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 195 f., no. 15 ]tiriso·ḳị[, (also Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 147, 167, Tibiletti Bruno 1989: 109, cf. Oberziner 1883: 145 tirisia). Reading ]tioiso ??[ from Gambari & Colonna 1986: 162, no. 8 (also Solinas 1995: 353, no. 83) – critical Morandi 1999: 181, no. 29 (]tiris??v?[, also 2004), but the third letter is by no means as clear a rho as in Morandi's drawing, and the second omicron seems fairly clear in TB's photo. Last two letters (beginning of second word) too damaged for identification.
