Commentary

First published in IR.
Pictures in IR (photo tav. XLVII, fig. c and drawing) = LIR (photo and drawing).
The reading ignores three probably unintentional strokes, because a very similar row of signs can be found on another Sanzeno bowl. The sixth stroke is inscribed into Θ s, giving the symbol symbol s.
Illegible scratchings in three more places on the bottom of the bowl: pictures in IR (photos tav. XLVII, fig. a, b and drawings) = LIR (photos and drawings).
