Commentary

First published in MLR. Autopsied by TIR on 14th October 2015.

Inscribed on the narrow bottom of the beaker, the tops of the characters pointing towards the foot. The characters take up the entire breadth of the bottom; length about 3.3 cm. The right hasta of Ś d is slighty curved. The lower bar of V d is almost invisible. The status of Ś3 s as a Raetic letter is dubious; in any case, the sequence is most probably a local workman's mark. Cp. AS-19.2, AS-21, AS-22 and AS-23, and the other instances on the present object.
