CAVI Inscriptions: TO LEFT OF THE TWO WOMEN AT LEFT: NONSENSE: οι(σ)τοHε. ON THEIR RIGHT:
(σ)ιοετσ. ABOVE THE HEADS OF THE FIGURES, IN THE UPPER LEFT: νεοτλοευ. TO LOWER
RIGHT OF THE WOMAN AT RIGHT: Ευφιλετος. BETWEEN HER AND APOLLO'S)LEGS: καλε.
CAVI Comments: ONE WONDERS IF THE TWO SENSE INSCRIPTIONS ARE BY THE SAME HAND AS THE
NONSENSE. I TAKE καλε TO REFER TO THE MUSE AT RIGHT; I DO NOT TAKE IT AS A
VOCATIVE TO GO WITH THE NAME. BEAZLEY IN ABV 667 SAYS: "Ευφιλετος, WITH καλε AND
MEANINGLESS INSCRIPTIONS." THREE-STROKE SIGMA IN SENSE AND SIDEWAYS SIGMAS IN
NONSENSE; THE LATTER MIGHT POSSIBLY BE NU'S.
