Images in Crivelli 1939: 199, fig. 15 (drawing = Giussani 1940: 7), Tibiletti Bruno 1965d: 91 (photo and drawing), Stöckli 1975: 176, Taf. 38 (drawing), Solinas 1995: tav. LXVa and b, Morandi 1999: 167 (drawing) and 192, p. V.2 (photo = Morandi 2004: 784, tav. VI.23), Motta 2000: 215, fig. 23 (photo = Morandi 2004: 784, tav. VI.23).

Inscribed on the shoulder of the olla (length 7.3 cm); well legible. The letters are preserved on three separate fragments, but only epsilon and san are slightly damaged.

anteśilu is a masculine personal name in the nominative (possibly that of the deceased, but cf. TI·23); see the word page for details.
