Commentary
First published in Molinari 1974: 74.
Image in Frontini 1985: tav. 28.5 (drawing).
Three letters inscribed on the bottom of the fragmentary patera. Kappa and alpha appear to be undamaged; the third letter by the breaking edge could be pi , lambda , nu or mu (cf. Molinari 1974: 74). Solinas and Morandi both give kap[. Possibly an abbreviation of a personal name.
