Commentary

Attested three times on ceramics with similar datings, twice (BG·3, VA·14) with the same form of alpha – possibly a manufacturer's mark, possibly an abbreviation of a personal name in at- (cf. ateknati, atepu, atilonei, ateratos, atepa, ateuloipitus, atios, atecua/atekua, atbiti, atlatu, atiaki, ateporix, atiss).
