Commentary
First published in Molinari 1974: 71 f. Examined for LexLep on 27th April 2022.
Images in Molinari 1974: 72, fig. 2 (drawing), Tizzoni 1984: tav. LXXX c (drawing).
Inscribed at an angle on the bottom of the bowl (length 3.5 cm); both letters are neat and clearly legible. Suggested to be an abbreviation of a personal name by Tibiletti Bruno 1984: 123; see the word page for details. Cf. MI·3 from the same grave.
