CAVI Comments: FRS. A AND B. THREE-STROKE SIGMA. NOT [καλ]ος BECAUSE OF THE POSITION OF THE
INSCRIPTIONS. COMPARE LEKYTHOI BY THE CACTUS PAINTER. - THE VASE MAY CONTRADICT
THE IDEA THAT MEN IN VATS ARE ALWAYS CONNECTED WITH THE MAKING OF WINE. BUT IT
LOOKS AS IF THE `VAT' IS A SMALLER BASIN AND THE MAN IS STANDING BESIDE IT.
