Gr.: ΑΡ | [[ΑΡ lig.]] (so read in Johnston (1979), 131/9E 29a (added on p. 70),
the rho stemless; Hackl (1909), 42/52,c). Faint traces of a Dip.: 8?
CAVI Footnotes: {1} see Immerwahr (1964a); the fourth letter was repainted as the bottom of a
pointed loop read as an omicron; a cleaning showed that it is the bottom of a
vertical stroke, iota or tau being possible. There is space for five letters in
the gap. The reading Φιλον in ABV must be wrong.
CAVI Comments: Philippos is not known as a kalos-name. - Beazley compares the vase with
Wurzburg 192, ABV 259/23.
CAVI Number: 2796
