Commentary
Morandi (2004: p. 641) equates this inscription with Solinas' n. 118 by mistake, most likely because there she shows a drawing of CO·53 also by mistake (Solinas 1994: p. 370). These two sherds have been mixed up in the past, cf. Motta 2000: p. 209, Morandi 1999: p. 177 fn. 87, Prosdocimi 1990: p. 297, Gambari & Colonna 1986: p. 162, n. 9, Garovaglio 1883: p. 21 n. 21, Catalogo Como 1986, p. 75, n. 3.
