CAVI Footnotes: {1} THE THIRD EXTANT LETTER CONSISTS OF THREE DOTS ARRANGED IN THE SHAPE OF A
TRIANGLE. THE SIXTH LETTER IS CONSIDERED A DOUBTFUL DIGAMMA IN GRAEF–LANGLOTZ;
THE DR. SHOWS THAT THE PAINT (AND GLAZE?) HAS COME OFF HERE, LEAVING A SHAPE
RESEMBLING Σ OR POSSIBLY A U-SHAPED DIGAMMA.
CAVI Comments: FRS. A - B. THIS INSCRIPTION (THERE MAY BE TWO, AS THERE IS A VACAT) IS IN
CLEAR LETTERS ACCORDING TO GRAEF–LANGLOTZ'S DR. AND IS NOT A BRYGAN NONSENSE
INSCRIPTION. THE THREE-DOTTED `LETTER' (SEE NOTE 1) MAY SHOW THAT IT HAS BEEN
COPIED BY THE PAINTER FROM AN ORIGINAL WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING (CF. ATTSCR (1990),
174, N. 5).
