First published in {{bib|Tizzoni 1981}}: 13, no. 5. Examined for LepLep on 29<sup>th</sup> April 2022.<br />

Images in {{bib|Bertolone 1950}}: 69, fig. 2.8 (drawing), {{bib|Tizzoni 1981}}: tav. 9e, {{bib|Rapi 2009}}: 694, fig. 1.1 (drawing).<br />

Three letters inscribed on the foot of the patera (length 2.6 cm). {{bib|Tizzoni 1981}}: 13, no. 5 and, following him, {{bib|Solinas 1995}}: 370, no. 116 read {{w||kai}}, disregarding a short scratch extending from the left side of the last letter which is reflected in both drawings. {{bib|Morandi 2004}}, taking this scratch into account, identifies the third letter as retrograde tau {{c||T5}}, reading {{w||kat}}. Tau would have a form that is not otherwise attested in Cisalpine Celtic inscriptions (see [[T]]), but the scratch is certainly not just surface damage or part of the surface structure of the foot – maybe a slip of the tool? Both sequences are otherwise attested in the corpus and both, when interpreted as abbreviations of personal names, find (potentially) Celtic comparanda; for {{w||kai}} cf. especially [[VA·27]] {{w||kaio}} at [[Arsago Seprio]], also on the foot of a patera.<br />
