Commentary

To be published by Daniele Maras in ziχu 2023. Examined for LexLep on 26th January 2022.

Mentioned in De Marinis 2009: 158 as having been "recentissima" discovered on the inside of the bowl in the Bellini collection; De Marinis reports that the reading is made difficult by damage to the surface, and offers the above "ipotesi di lettura" sepiut(x)si in n. 152. Potentially the oldest Cisalpine Celtic inscription, it is as yet unpublished; cf. Maras 2014: 72 f., 76, Barbieri 2020: 454, n. 10.
