Commentary
First published in Spagnolo Garzoli 2009: 149, 172. Examined for LexLep on 24th April 2024.
Images in Spagnolo Garzoli 2009: 149, fig. 307.11 (drawing) and 173, fig. 347 (photo).
Inscribed in neat, even letters on the shoulder of the bottle (length 3.2 cm); the inscription is preserved on one of the larger fragments of the bottle, essentially undamaged and well legible. The sequence piraki is a personal name in the genitive, presumably that of an owner of the vessel.
