CAVI Lemma: Fragmentary BG skyphos. From Athens. Unattributed. Ca. 480{1}.
CAVI Subject: Undecorated.
CAVI Inscriptions: On the bottom, in a complete, but irregular circle, Gr.: Μιλωνος ειμι.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} so Sparkes–Talcott (1970); V.&S. say second quarter, Lang, early fifth.
CAVI Comments: The letters get larger toward the end (to fill the circle). The writing is
rather rough. An early graffito in the Ionic alphabet. V.&S. and Lang think he
is perhaps the Milo who appears as kalos on Naples 2617, ARV[2] 65/108, a RF cup
by Oltos. But I wonder if our man is not an Ionian.
CAVI Number: 0538
