Commentary

The inscription is probably lost. According to Hiller’s indications, the writing direction is from left to right. The editor proposes three different readings, from which he himself states "nihil enucleavi", while hypothesizing that it could be a personal name. In the absence of autoptic data, it is only possible to propose a relative chronology within a broadly defined Archaic period.
