Word EVA okolky

The word okolky is unique, transcribed by Takahashi as otolky. It is the inscription on a pharmacy jar <f102v2.24,@Lc> <!229a>.



I read this word on(m)ol(a,oi)n9.

The two « k » look different, and I usually divide EVA « k » into « n » and « m » based on the position of their horizontal bar. However, in this specific case, the only word I found has two « n »:

• ἄνοινος = ἄοινος – without wine; of men, having no wine, sober; also of a place, having none; without use of wine.
  

Are these remedies that are prepared without wine?
