CAVI Lemma: WG lekythos. From Tanagra. Unattributed. Second quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: Nike flying over an altar, holding a basket of offerings.
CAVI Inscriptions: Με[...](τ)ος καλ[ο]ς. - The inscription is above the altar and in front of
Nike's head. A horizontal two-liner. [There is an indistinct letter before the
tau (pi)].
CAVI Comments: Beazley says that Με[γισ]τος has been suggested; Με[λιτ]τος is also possible,
but the sixth letter may be pi not tau. -Actually, Savignoni suggests:
Με[γισ]τος καλος, or Με[νιππ]ος καλος, or Με[λανω]πος καλος. Beazley mentions
only the first of these suggestions and adds one of his own.
