Notes
Letters are faint, but last nu and omicron of the name are clear. Based on the remains of the letters, the aspect of the stamp and what can be guessed of the profile of the handle, any name in Period III can be suggested, be it that of the fabricant or of one of the eponyms. There is no eponym name ending in -νο in the nominative for Period IV.
