Commentary

The reading is problematic due to the fragmentary state of the inscription. There are several possibilities (n/m, e/a, s/i, Morandi 1999: p. 182).
It can be reconstructed to the stage of development of the archaic gen. sg. ending -oi̯so: -oio cf. Morandi 1999: pp. 181-182, fn. 30, Pl. XV, 4, Gambari & Colonna 1986: p. 163, n. 10
