CAVI Subject: A, B, each: Sisyphus in the Underworld, between Persephone and Hades.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: nonsense: to right of the seated Persephone's head: (ν)δε. Above Sisyphus'
rock, curving around it: χ[.]ι̣(ν)(γ). Under the foot, Grr.: see Johnston
(1979).
CAVI Comments: The writing is typical of the Acheloos Painter and some other members of the
Leagros Group. B is not inscribed. Nu is reversed. Perhaps a third inscription?
