CAVI Lemma: FR. OF BF POT{1}. FROM ATHENS. UNATTRIBUTED. DATE UNCLEAR.
CAVI Subject: PART OF A FOOT RACE: UPPER BODIES OF MAN AND YOUTH RUNNING.
CAVI Inscriptions: TO RIGHT OF OF MAN'S BACK OF HEAD: Φαλ[--]{2}. TO RIGHT OF MAN'S ARM AND
BEHIND HIS BACK: [--]νελος[--], RETR.{3}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} SMALL THICK-WALLED `KUGELGEFASS,' (GRAEF–LANGLOTZ) UNGLAZED INSIDE; OF
UNCERTAIN SHAPE (BEAZLEY). {2} SURFACE FLAKED OFF FOR ONE LETTER SPACE BEFORE
THE BREAK. {3} SO BEAZLEY. GRAEF–LANGLOTZ READS: Ὀνελος - NOT CERTAIN (THOUGH
PROBABLE) THAT OMICRON IS THE FIRST LETTER; GRAEF–LANGLOTZ SAYS THAT Ονελος IS
NOT KNOWN AND READS (WITH UPSIDE-DOWN GAMMA):Ονεγος, `DONKEY-DRIVER.' (WHY THE
CAPITAL LETTER? A NAME?). BEAZLEY REJECTS LANGLOTZ' ονεγος, SINCE THE FOURTH
LETTER MUST BE LAMBDA, NOT GAMMA. "THERE IS INCISION IN WHAT LANGLOTZ TAKES TO
BE AN OMICRON AT THE BEGINNING, AND I DID NOT FEEL CERTAIN THAT IT WAS A LETTER
AT ALL ..."
CAVI Comments: THESE SHOULD BE THE NAMES OF RUNNERS.
CAVI Number: 1152
