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.
