CAVI Comments: Sotairos occurs in Athens in the fourth century BC: see LGPN ii. Beazley in
publishing the three lost frs., was not aware of the fr. CVA, pl. 6,5, which
shows an initial sigma; he therefore restored: [h]ο̅́ταιρος : κ̣[άλ[λ]ιστος or
καλος, ναι]. Sotairos is known in the fifth century from Corinth and Selinus:
Jeffery (1961), 98/10, 271, 277/32. Fellmann rejects Beazley's καλος, ναι, as
the spacing is satisfactory without it. Clear and well-spaced, but rather small,
writing. [[Diameter: 180.]]
