介绍（中）	韦斯伯格18型。未穿孔手柄。模具制作。Discus：裸体男子面朝前方，但向右移动，右手放低，举着一个球形的大罐子，左臂下方举着一只小双耳瓶；铁饼边缘，近距离，短辐射线。两个填充孔，侧面的图形在顶部。在宽阔平坦的肩膀上，风格化的葡萄藤上有许多葡萄。在凹形底座上，浮雕中的希腊字母：破损并修复，喷嘴周围前部有一个小孔和裂缝这种灯很不寻常，因为铁饼上的图形面向把手，也面向灯座；大多数模具制造的灯都有朝向喷嘴的装饰，这样燃烧的灯芯就能正确地照亮它。图中人物两侧是一条大型鱼类和一个双耳瓶；肩上是藤蔓卷须和葡萄串。这些图像被认为是基督教的，但模制细节的清晰性表明，这个人物实际上是裸体的，因此不太可能是基督的。
介绍（英）	Vessberg Type 18. Unpierced handle. Mold-made. Discus: naked man facing front but moving to right, holding large bulbous jar in lowered right hand and with a small amphora below raised left arm; around edge of discus, close-set, short radiating lines. Two filling holes, flanking figure at top. On broad, flat shoulder, stylized vines with many grapes. On concave base, Greek letters in relief: Broken and repaired, with one small hole and cracks at front around nozzle. This lamp is unusual since the figure on the discus faces the handle and so the holder of the lamp; most mold-made lamps have the decoration facing the nozzle so that it would be illuminated correctly by the burning wick. Here the figure is flanked by a large fish and an amphora; on the shoulder are vine tendrils and bunches of grapes. This imagery has been taken to be Christian, but the clarity of the molded details show that the figure is in fact nude and is therefore unlikely to be that of Christ.
