CAVI Subject: Ajax and Achilles playing a board game (the left figure is young, the right
figure, bearded); behind the board, a palm tree; on the board, five pieces on
each side.
CAVI Inscriptions: Nonsense inscriptions: under the left figure: αχχ(τ)αο{1}. To right of his
chest (near the mouth): δχι^χδι{2}. To left of the left man's chest (near his
beard): σλοχλ, retr.(?). Under him: υ(λ)ο^χλθχ{3}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} feet intervene: αχχ^(τ)α^ο. The `tau' is in the shape of a figure 7,
perhaps chi. {2} tree leaves intervene. {3} a foot intervenes.
CAVI Comments: Outline. Each figure is `named' and `speaking'. Thompson and Mommsen think A
is influenced by the sculptural group of that subject. Haspels 112: "Mock
inscriptions in the manner of the Diosphos Painter." "very closely connected
with the Diosphos Painter."
