CAVI Lemma: WG lekythos. From Eretria. Achilles Painter. Second quarter fifth. 460-450.
460/55-450 (Oakley). Early (Beazley).

.......{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the final omicron is in line 2 and stoich. in relation with lines 1 and
3.
CAVI Comments: Second white used. Note the position of the final omicron, as in Athens 1922,
Athens 13,750 and Stockholm G. 2107. See Unlocated (ex Collection Tyszkiewicz):
this is undoubtedly the same vase, which appeared in the Vente Somzée of 1901.
For the syllabic use of hε [[h(ε)]] see also Athens, N.M. 12,441. Threatte
(1996), 39, 45, and 46, explains the use of eta for e differently. Ionic
alphabet with omicron for omega.- Oakley reads: ΜΗΛΑNΟΠ; cf. p. 11. But the Ε is
short; see LGPN ii.
