CAVI Footnotes: {1} transcribed by me from MELANPHIS [KA]LE in Bea. Arch. I assume that the theta has a vertical(?) stroke that makes it look like a phi. Bea. Arch. mentions `Inscriptions' in the plural.
CAVI Comments: LGPN ii mentions the name Μελανθις twice on other pottery: is this perhaps the same person?
