CAVI Comments: Della Seta refers to the vase painter Kittos and compares Hesych., s.v.
κιττος, Laconian for καλος; he thinks the inscriptions were written by a
foreigner in an Attic workshop. But the word is not in LSJ, nor is κισσος there
given this meaning. I think it should be a name: Pape has both Κισσος and
Κιττος. LGPN ii has Κισσος in 5-4 B.C. in POxy and Isoc.; also in the 3rd cent.
A.D.; it also has Κιττος which is much more common from the 4th cent. B.C. on.
L.-H. does not discuss this. The alpha is unexplained. Attic sigmas.
