CAVI Lemma: Frs. of BF plaque or rather pot{1}. From Athens. Unattributed. Date unclear.
CAVI Subject: Parallel black bands; large black area on bottom{2}. No figured decoration.
CAVI Inscriptions: Between the bands, in BG: Fr. a: [---]ι̣λ[---], retr.? [---]ι̣ονυμ[---]{3}.

[---]. [---]τ̣ροπαι vacat.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} circular grooves as if from the potter's wheel in front and especially on
the back: hence perhaps not a plaque. {2} this looks more like a very large
banded pot. {3} the first letter is the bottom of a vertical stroke close to the
omicron: iota or tau. {4} the first letter, a bit of the bottom of a slightly
raised stroke; the third letter, a piece of a diagonal, such as the long stroke
of a backward-leaning lambda. {5} the last letter could be mu or Ionic lambda,
hardly Attic gamma.
CAVI Comments: Peek says probably remains of a poem; line 2: if the first letter is an
awkward lambda, then μεγα]λ̣ονυμ[---]; line 4: [---]οτρο παι, cf. line 9.
