CAVI Comments: = 2613. The surface must have suffered since Heydemann. His readings must be
accepted. L.-H. 155: some names are not true Amazon names: Chrysis. kale (3
times). Andromache and Hippolyte probably refer to the two shield-bearing
Amazons. The `queen Amazon' on the Int. may be Antiope, cf. LIMC i, s.v. Antiope
II.
