Commentary
From the photograph, the first letter on the left is sigma; the smaller letter is either, if read without moving the vase, a mu with the left leg lost or, if read after a quarter turn to the right, a sigma with the lower stroke lost. Anyway, the latter in C. Dobias-Lalou's view cannot be a nu, for the shape would refer to a date much higher than the vase and to a right-to-left script, also out of date.
