C.Di 1
This is a brief graffito found on the inner side of a broken fragment of a black polished bowl made of grey-ware. It was discovered in 1962 during excavations at Didyma, located southwest of the main temple. Its find spot in Ionia is significant, as it shows the presence of Carian script near the important Greek sanctuary of Apollo. Contra Adiego, Schürr (2011) reads the graffito left-to-right as ýtm and suggests it is a personal name.
