CAVI Subject: Int.: a trainer; an athlete with halteres. A-B: school: A: a seated youth
reading from an open book roll; a youth with a lyre; a man leaning on his stick.
B: a man leaning on his stick; a youth with closed tablets (satchel: handle,

CAVI Inscriptions: A: on the book roll which is displayed horizontally (not in perspective), in
four stoich. lines of five letters each: hο̅ς δέ | μοι κα|ὶ μᾶλ[λ]ο|ν ἐπέσ][συτο
θυμὸς ἀγε̅́νο̅ρ]... .
CAVI Comments: The reading is Beazley's in AJA, who cites Iliad 9.399 and 13.538. In
Immerwahr (1964) I suggested an alternative: ὃς δέ μοι καὶ μᾶλ[λ]ον ἐπέσ][χε
νόον τε καὶ λμα]. There is a mark in the shape of ] extra ordinem at the end of
the quote, which is of unclear significance. Schwarz' discussion of the
inscription is unclear.
