Garigliano Bowl
The Garigliano bowl is a small impasto bowl with bucchero glaze likely to have been produced around 500 BC, with an early Latin inscript written in a form of the western Greek or Etruscan alphabet.[1] It was found along the river Garigliano, between Lazio and Campania, in the vicinity of ancient Minturnae (now Minturno, Italy), in the ancient territory occupied by the Aurunci.[1]

As for word division, PARI MED ESOM KOM MEOIS SOKIOIS is immediately clear ; the rest is more problematic.
