Commentary

First published in Barelli 1877b: 102. Examined for LexLep on 2nd April 2025.

Images in Barelli 1877b: tav. I.12 (drawing by Giuseppe Massuero), Barelli 1877/Garovaglio 1877: tav. I.19 (drawing), Gamurrini 1880: tav. I.2a (drawing copied from Massuero), Oberziner 1883: tav. XVIII.2 (drawing copied from Garovaglio), Pauli 1885: Taf. I.18a (drawing copied from Massuero), Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 283, tav. XI.25 (photo), Morandi 2004: 628, fig. 20.149 (drawing) and 799, tav. XXII.149 (photo).

Inscribed on the foot along the rim (length of the remains ca. 6 cm). All four preseved letters are damaged, but identifiable; the reading ]akur[ was already given by Poggi 1879: 311, no. 41 (also Gamurrini 1880: 1, no. 2a, Pauli 1885: 9 f., no. 18 a, Giussani 1902: 44 f., no. 14, Rhŷs 1913: 38 f., no. III.1.1a, Rhŷs 1914: 8, Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 204, no. 25).

The sequence )akur( may be part of a Celtic personal name; see the word page.
