CAVI Comments: THIS FOUR-LETTER SIGN OCCURS FREQUENTLY ON VASES OF THE PERIOD, MAINLY BF
HYDRIAE; SEVERAL ARE BY THE ANTIMENES PAINTER OR POSSIBLY BY HIM (SEE BUROW AND
JOHNSTON (1979), 115/1D); THE VERSION WITHOUT TAU IS FOUND ALSO WITH THE
EUPHILETOS PAINTER. JOHNSTON 204 ARGUES AGAINST THE MARK BEING ETRUSCAN, AS HAS
BEEN SUGGESTED (SEE 242, 1D N. 1); HE THINKS IT IS PERHAPS AEGINETAN. HE HAS 9
EXAMPLES OF ΑΘΙ AND 14 OF ΑΘΤΙ. HE FOLLOWS NOGARA (1937), 451 IN DERIVING THE
WORD FROM Ατθις WITH METATHESIS. I HAVE NOT INCLUDED ALL INSTANCES IN CAVI.
JOHNSTON IS NOT CERTAIN WHETHER THIS IS AN ADJECTIVE OR A PERSONAL NAME [BUT HE
SEEMS TO PREFER THE FORMER]. CARTWHEEL THETA, NEARLY RECTANGULAR BUT WITH
ROUNDED CORNERS.
