CAVI Footnotes: {1} (.) is a misshapen letter. The `gamma' in the sixth word is of `Ionic'
shape, probably a pi. The pi in word seven is reversed; the nu is irregular. The
eighth word has two broken iotas followed by an incomplete stroke.
CAVI Comments: The readings are by Langridge. I do not trust the readings given in the text
of CVA. Uncertain and variable letter forms.
