Fetekty was “Overseer of the store-room”. The occurrences are taken from the list provided in Bárta (2001, 121-123). Bárta often refers to the colour brown, even though this colour is hardly ever used in polychrome inscriptions. As there are no colour plates accompanying the list, it is difficult to know whether this is not just a shade of red. Black is often used as an outline. Some signs show high variation, especially the twisted flax V28 which has occurrences in brown, blue and green, all with a black outline.
