Abstract
The study of a graffito on a sherd of a large storage-jar recovered from the River Thames at Amerden, near Taplow, Bucks., and from 1899 kept in the British Museum, and the making of a contact-drawing of it for the second volume of Roman Inscriptions of Britain has enabled the present writer to accept Haver field's suggestion that the vessel had been used as a cinerary urn, but to interpret the text written in Greek capitals as a memorial to a person who had resided in that locality, and in no way as a modern import from the eastern portion of the Roman Empire. A study of Greek and Roman names and word-forms has produced an occupational style hitherto unattested.
