- CAVI Lemma: base of BG skyphos. From Athens. Unattributed. Second quarter fifth.
- CAVI Subject: Rays at bottom{1}.
- CAVI Inscriptions: On the bottom, Grr. along margins, one at the top, the other at the bottom:
Αισχεα ΠΣ | Nικανορ [[ΠΣ lig., see below]].
- CAVI Footnotes: {1} Corinthian type, cf. Hesp. 5 (1936) 340, fig. 8, top row, center.
- CAVI Comments: Lang's reading; she considers the Grr. as written on the sherd, which seems
doubtful. She thinks perhaps a "tag" accompanying a consignment, weighing 5
staters, belonging to Aischeas and perhaps certified by Nikanor; or sent by
Nikanor, son of Aischeas. V.&S. classify the inscription under love names,
taking the sigma for the final letter of Aischeas, written over another letter
which was started there by mistake.: Αισχεα(ς) | Nικανορ. - For the gen. in -α
(if that is right) cf. AttScr (1990), no. 480, p. 181. The `numeral' pi with
sigma written within is a bit peculiar in that the pi has almost equal verticals
and is very narrow while the sigma (which is four-stroke) is large.
