CAVI Footnotes: {1} "the style is of somewhat the same nature as in the last [which is
compared to the Xenokles Painter], but the hand is not clearly the same."
(Beazley). {2} so ABV; Beazley in JHS says: Judgment of Paris. {3} Beazley
follows R.-R. in giving the first letter as kappa [which may be erroneous].
CAVI Comments: In Para. said to be sold to `Norton' at the Christie sale: `14-16 June 1849':
there is something wrong here: the sale was in 1917; is 1849 the catalogue
number? Both three- and four-stroke sigma.
