CAVI Comments: HASPELS 48 SAYS THE PICTURE IS A REPETITION OF THAT ON THE ACHELOOS PAINTER'S
NECK AMPHORA, WüRZBURG 204. HER PH. SHOWS A PART OF THE PICTURE ONLY, I THINK
(NOT THE LEFTMOST AND RIGHTMOST PORTIONS): AT LEFT, TRAINER, JUMPER AND
FLAUTIST, ALL TO RIGHT. THE INSCRIPTION IS IN SMALL AND THIN LETTERS BETWEEN THE
JUMPER AND THE FLAUTIST, DOWNWARD IN A WAVY LINE: ι(χ)ι^(σ)χεδκς. THE FIRST CHI
HAS ONE BAR STOPPING AT THE CROSSING POINT, MAKING THE LETTER LOOK MORE LIKE AN
ARCHAIC UPSILON, TILTED. THE NU IS A SIDEWAYS SIGMA. THE JUMPER'S OUTSTRETCHED
ARMS INTERVENE.
