CAVI Comments: ONCE IN ATHENS, FAUVEL'S HOUSE. κατάξι IS BöCKH'S EMENDATION OF κατάξει.
LEAKE HAS κατάξηι, BUT WRONGLY νωχον FOR δῶρον. FOR ἀποτεισε (ε FOR ει), SEE
THREATTE (1980), 300/10. FOR THE LAST WORD, LEAKE HAS Ξευχ WITHOUT THE FINAL
UPSILON; EV ACCEPTS BöCKH'S Ξενύλ[ο]υ, BUT SHOULD THIS NOT HAVE DOUBLE LAMBDA?

Ξενυλλος. E.V. GIVES FOUR PARALLELS FOR KYLIX = SKYPHOS: SEE OXFORD 1956.311;
