γι(γ){2}. In front: νεϝγ{3}. Behind (to right of) the first man on a couch: four
letters. Above the second symposiast and extending to the right of the second
flautist, in a curve, to be read upside down(?): ν(δ)θνεδϝν{4}. Behind the third
musician (lyre player): νε vac. νεδ. To right of him(?) and above the third
symposiast, an inscription beginning: νο ... , retr. To right of the fourth

mouth of a singing symposiast. {2} uncertain reading from a photo. {3} the
digamma is uncertain. {4} the first delta is upside down. This shows in V.&K.,
fig. 45.1: the nu's may be sigmas. The theta is clear.
