CAVI Subject: INT.: BF: A BEARDED KOMAST RUNNING. EXT.: RF: BETWEEN EYES: A: A NAKED YOUTH
RUNNING. B: A RAM.
CAVI Inscriptions: INT.: STARTING BELOW THE KOMAST'S LEGS AND CURVING UPWARD ALONG THE MARGIN TO
NEAR HIS LEFT SHOULDER: VACAT []κοσθενες V. ε̣ποι[] VACAT. I.E.: κοσθ^ενες
ε̣ποι[εσεν]{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} MAY BE BY ONE HAND (BEAZLEY). {2} THERE IS PERHAPS A SHORT VACAT BETWEEN
THE WORDS. A LEG INTERPOSES AFTER THE THETA. NO DOUBT INCOMPLETELY WRITTEN, AS
THE SURFACE BEFORE AND AFT SEEMS WELL ENOUGH PRESERVED. A GOOD PICTURE: CVA, PL.

CAVI Comments: AT ARV[2] 161/1, BEAZLEY SAYS THAT THE INSCRIPTION IS COMPLETE AFT AND
PROBABLY ALSO FORE; THERE IS JUST ROOM FOR THE FIRST TWO LETTERS IN THE MISSING
PATCH TO THE RIGHT OF THE KOMAST'S HAM, BUT THE POSITION WOULD BE STRANGE [I
OBSERVED NONE OF THIS IN THE PHOTO.]. THIS SEEMS TO ME A CLEAR CASE OF AN
INSCRIPTION BEING COPIED FROM A MODEL.
