Commentary
Images in Gambari & Colonna 1988: 163 (drawing), Morandi 1999: 182 (drawing = Morandi 2004: 642, fig. 22.187) and tav. XV.4 (photo = Morandi 2004: 802, tav. XXV.187).
Only upper parts of letters preserved. Gambari & Colonna 1988: 163, no. 10, read 
[ ]nẹriọṣ based on a drawing provided by De Marinis (also Solinas 1995). Morandi 1999: 181 f., no. 30, who has a photo, notes that nu could be mu, epsilon could be alpha, and sigma could be iota; at the end he sees the upper part of another omicron, reading ]nerio?o[ and identifying his genitive ending variant -oi̯o < -oi̯so (cf. NO·1; also Morandi 2004).
