Commentary

First published in Gambari 1999: 391, no. 13.

Images in Deodato & Poletti Ecclesia 1999: 217, fig. 227.2 (drawing = Gambari 1999: 393, fig. 417.13), Gambari 1999: 391, fig. 415 (photo).

Inscribed on the foot of the patera; the same sequence in NO·9, but on an object dated over a century earlier. Probably an abbreviation of a Celtic name, see the word page.
