Commentary
First published in Pellegrini 1915: 120 f. Lost.
Image in Pellegrini 1915: tav. II, 22 (drawing).
Incised on the wall of the fragmentary vessel. Pellegrini's drawing clearly shows two St. Andrew's crosses. The character on the right might be 
or a form of Alpha. If the two bars are irrelevant scratches, the group might be another example of the manufacturer's mark 
iθθi – while the same only occurs on the bottom of cups, the other supposed factory mark from Bostel does also once occur on the wall, though on the inside (AS-23.2). But cp. also EX-95 and EX-96 for dubious scratchings on the walls of cups.
