Commentary
From the photograph one can clearly see at left end a small part of nu, followed by iota, whereas the last letter at right end should be a round letter with a crooked summit, for which omega would be a good candidate, in agreement with the date of the ceramics.
Apollo Myrtoos also appears much later, in a dedication to the emperor Nero, cf. IRCyr C.289.
