men, one warrior, altar{1}.

from root to tip, facing out, Gr.: hιερον εποιεσεν.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} CB 58f. gives the different explanations of the Ext., thinks it is a
search party, but does not say specifically that it is for Tithonos.
CAVI Comments: + Florence 11 B 44 + Villa Giulia (CVA, pl. Y,5-7). Done for Boston only. -
The kappa was repainted when I saw the vase. - This vase is later than Makron
(Robertson). The writing delegated to the Telephos Painter (Cohen); cf. Boston
98.931. CB gives a history of the collections. CB dr. has an excellent picture
of the signature. The signature has tailed rho and four-stroke sigma, whereas
the kalos has the three-stroke; letters are disjointed.
