Commentary
Images in Negroni Catacchio 1974: tav. IV.17 bis (drawing), Tibiletti Bruno 1974: 266, fig. 3 (photo and drawing), Solinas 1995: 340 (drawing), Morandi 1999: 176 (drawing = Morandi 2004: 647, fig. 23.195), tav. XII.3 (photo).
Inscribed on the bottom of the patera about a third of the way along from CO·64.1 and closer to the foot, by a different hand according to Tibiletti Bruno 1974: 264. Non-committal description of the letters by TB; reading kur from Morandi 1999: 176, no. 21 (also Morandi 2004, who calls it a "sigla"), but either kappa or rho are retrograde; upsilon seems not quite clear either. Solinas 1995 has kar, no more convincing.
