Commentary
First published in Volontè Fredini 1990: 71.
Images in Veronesi 1990: tav. XVIIIa (drawing), Morandi 2004: tav. XVI.114 (photo).
Both Volontè Fredini and Morandi read et, the latter comparing VA·23 etu at the same necropolis, but the putative middle bar is merely an unintentional scratch (thus also Solinas 1994: 384). at may be an abbreviation of a personal name, see the word page.
