CAVI Comments: Squat letters with thick verticals. I give the inscriptions after Fellmann's
text (except for adding the dot under the epsilon on A); he calculates that the
space on B allows for a name of no more than five letters and suggests Χιρον.
However, the Vatican cup with Chiron's signature (ABV 161) is lost and has
apparently not been illustrated. Yet the photos. in the Munich CVA suggest that
there was a vacat between the name and the verb, whence Fellmann's calculations
about the length of the name are probably correct: [-4-]ν.
