Inscribed on the foot of the vessel; no entirely undamaged letters. Of the many reading options discussed by TB, the most plausible for the two nearly complete letters are lambda and small, triangular omicron; the two letters at the breaking edges cannot be clearly identified from the remains. Morandi opts for ]ploi[. Considering the position of the remaining section of the rim, it is unlikely that any letters followed the last, partly preserved one. Frame lines may have been present.
