CAVI Comments: THE FIRST TWO SIGMAS GIVEN BY MICALI AS REVERSED THREE-STROKE, THE THIRD
LOOKS FOUR-STROKE. ABV GIVES ALL SIGMAS AS REVERSED THREE-STROKE, WHICH IS
UNUSUAL FOR THE AMASIS PAINTER. KAROUZOU PRINTS THE FIRST TWO SIGMAS AS REVERSED
THREE-STROKE, THE THIRD AS STRAIGHT THREE-STROKE! IT SEEMS UNCERTAIN WHETHER THE
INSCRIPTION IS IN THE AMASIS PAINTER'S HAND, BUT THE DRAWING IS ATTRIBUTED TO
HIM.
