Commentary
First published in Barelli 1879b: 27.
Image (drawing) in Barelli implied by Morandi.
Three letters inscribed "all'esterno del vaso nella parte inferiore" (Morandi), dextroverse "in what appears to be the Lepontic αβ" according to Whatmough PID: 96.
Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 146 suggests that the sequence could be an abbreviation of the PN "Cut(t)ius" rather than the Etr. noun qutun (type of vessel); Gambari & Colonna 1988: 134 compare it to VA·32.
See also Pisani 1964: 283, no. 120 I.
