Commentary

First published in Volontè Fredini 1990: 68, 72. Examined for LexLep on 30th of April 2022.

Images in Volontè Fredini 1990: 73 (photo), Veronesi 1990: tav. XXIIIa (drawing), Morandi 2004: 603, fig. 16.112 (drawing) and tav. XVII.112 (photo).

Inscribed upside-down on the bottom of the bowl just above the rim of the foot (length 2.1 cm). Sigma and upsilon are ambiguous in terms of alphabet, but rho is clearly Latin. The sequence is likely an abbreviation of a personal name (see the word page).
