commentary

An interesting aspect of this document is highlighted by Antonaccio and Shea 2015, p. 60: Ā«[...] it is interactive. It could only be read when the vessel was raised and tipped towards the drinkerā€™s face. The user was already drinking in all likelihood when he or she read the imperative, which further demanded that the remainder of the wine in the vessel be consumedĀ». For a similar case see ISic020712). The context is clearly sympotic.
