CAVI Subject: HEAD OF CITHARA PLAYER (APOLLO?); RAISED HAND; OBJECT.
CAVI Inscriptions: ABOVE THE HEAD, DIP.: Σχυθες μαν̣[εθεκεν],(2) FOR Σκυθες.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} REFERRING TO ACR. 2557 AND 2586, BEAZLEY SAYS: "IT IS NOT CLEAR FROM THE
STYLE [OF THE PAINTING] THAT THE SKYTHES OF THESE PLAQUES IS THE SKYTHES KNOWN
AS A PAINTER OF RED-FIGURE AND BILINGUAL VASES (CHIEFLY CUPS)." {2} SO
GRAEF–LANGLOTZ AND ABV, BUT THE `CHI' MAY BE A BADLY WRITTEN KAPPA.
CAVI Comments: THE DIFFERENCE IN STYLE (SEE BELOW) IS EXPLAINED BY GRAEF–LANGLOTZ BY SAYING
THAT THE PINAX IS 10-20 YEARS EARLIER THAN SKYTHES' MAIN PERIOD. - NOTE THAT THE
STYLE OF THE INSCRIPTION IS SLOPPY: DOES IT RESEMBLE SKYTHES'? - DOTTED THETA.
