Commentary

First published in Gambari 1999: 389 f., no. 8.

Image in Deodato & Poletti Ecclesia 1999: 98, fig. 73.2 (drawing = Gambari 1999: 393, fig. 417.8a).

Inscribed on the bottom of the patera near the rim, probably an abbreviation of NO·10 turokos, though the latter is dated about 50 years earlier and written in the Lepontic alphabet. Cf. NO·12 from the same grave.
