Notes: Although the find spot of this inscription is unknown, there can be no doubt that the provenance is Vulci. The final word in the text is the locative form of the name of the city, velclθi = 'in Vulci'.

Notes:

Notes: The inscription was incised in dextrograde ductus in a Republican Latin alphabet.

Notes: The inscription was incised, except for venelus, around the rim of the foot of the bowl. venelus was incised on the flat portion of the foot, inside the rim. The first part of the text is an 'anti-theft' inscription. How the final portion of the text is to be organized syntactically is not completely clear. The editor suggests a division into three constituents: ei menepi khape. mi venelus. mi karkus.. Following this analysis, one of the names refers to the owner of the piece, the other refers to the person who gave it.

Notes:

Notes:

Notes: The bottom rightmost portion of the final letter is visible. The editor suggests sigma, which would have to be retrograde in ductus. Alpha is also possible, and such a reading would change the syntax of the inscription (name of proprietor in the nominative?).

Notes: Of the initial f only the leftmost portions (of curved strokes) are visible. The final letter is difficult to read, but it appears to be an alpha with the medial stroke ascending in the direction of writing. Bibliography:

Notes: The point that stands just before the break in the ceramic, if it is not an abrasion on the surface of the ceramic, may be syllabic punctuation.

Notes:

Notes: The palatal /š/ is represented by three-bar sigma. It seems likely that the first part of this text is to be corrected to uσele, which is a common praenomen in the archaic period, but this solution does not address the final portion of the inscription.

Notes: The editor believes that the inscription was incised by two hands. Letters 1-9 are rather large; the rest of the letters are considerably smaller.

Notes: Found at the tomb of a woman about 60 years old. The first inscription is on the body of the vessel and is written in a continuously expanding script. The second inscription is written on the bottom in very small letters and in different hands, suggesting that it may be very old. The theta is crossed.
