Commentary
No preserved character offers an orientation indicating clearly the direction of reading; however, the tau is somewhat inclined to the right, giving a clue for a left-to-right orientation. In this view, Marengo suggested the beginning of a personal name such as Σωτάδας. The question should remain open, due to the very fragmentary condition of the vase, which however probably belongs to the same series of dedications that IGCyr110100 and followings.
