Commentary

This sherd is known only from a sketchbook of the architect Gismondi, who resumed in 1957 for only one month the excavations he had conducted before World War II. The sherd is mentioned amongst other fragments found in a rock-cut chamber, the function and place of which are quite unclear. It seems plausible that the vase offered as a tithe was originally deposited inside the neighbouring sanctuary of Apollo.
