Commentary

First published in Spagnolo Garzoli 2009: 149, 172.

Images in Spagnolo Garzoli 2009: 149, fig. 307.11 (drawing) and 173, fig. 347 (photo).

Inscribed in neat, even letters on the shoulder of the bottle; essentially undamaged and well legible. The sequence piraki is a personal name in the genitive, presumably that of an owner of the vessel.
