CAVI Footnotes: {1} K.-D. suggests that [Με]θυσ[ε] is another possibility. {2} Threatte
(1980) states that omega is used for both ω and ο; but I do not see why we
should here assume the epic form of Dionysus.
CAVI Comments: The readings are from the BM cat. Attic with omega twice for omicron{2}.
Syllabic heta.
