CAVI Subject: Heracles and the Centaurs: A: Heracles and Pholos; another centaur has fallen
between them; at right, the pithos with a kantharos on its rim. B: two centaurs
coming to the rescue, a third fleeing.

the photo in the Rouen cat. shows a circle with a vertical at the left side. {3}
the final sigma lies sideways.
