ANOTHER WARRIOR (BOTH WARRIORS HOLD SWORDS); ALTAR; PALM TREE.
CAVI Inscriptions: TO RIGHT OF IPHIGENEIA'S HEAD: Ιφιγενεια. TO RIGHT OF THE RIGHT WARRIOR'S
HEAD: [Τ]ευκρος̣{3}. ABOVE THE ALTAR: Αρ[--](.)[--]{4}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} A POSSIBLE CULT CONNECTION. {2} TRANSITIONAL I (RICH), B.-O. {3} THE
PHOTO IN `AGES' SHOWS THAT ONLY THE LAST LETTER IS IN ANY DOUBT; THE TEXT HAS
Τευκρο[ς]. THE FIRST LETTER IS HIDDEN UNDER A LARGE SMUDGE. {4} PROBABLY
COMPLETE AT LEFT. (.) MAY NOT BE A LETTER; IT LOOKED LIKE THE BOTTOM OF AN
UPSILON. KURTZ (1989) SUGGESTS: Αρ[τεμις]. B.-O. SUGGESTS Αρ[τεμιδος], I.E. THE
ALTAR OF ARTEMIS, WHICH IS BETTER. I WONDER IF A FINAL SIGMA SHOWS ON THE FR.
THAT COMES AFTER Αρ[--], WHICH WOULD SUPPORT B.-O.'S READING. FOR THE READINGS
SEE ALSO B.-O. 18.
CAVI Comments: THE TREATMENT OF THE SUBJECT RECALLS THE ICONOGRAPHY OF MARRIAGE SCENES.
