CAVI Comments: KOSSATZ-DEISSMANN POINTS OUT THAT FRÄNKEL WRONGLY LISTS THE TWO NAMES AS
THOSE OF A SATYR AND A MAENAD, BUT THEY ARE A HUMAN EROTIC COUPLE. GYRITES AND
HALIOPE ONLY HERE; SEE LGPN II, S.VV. HELIOPE IS ALSO LISTED IN PAPE AS AN
ALLEGORICAL FIGURE IN EMPEDOCLES [B 122,1]. THE NAMES GIVE THE IMPRESSION OF
BEING NON-ATTIC, BUT THE ALPHABET IS ALRIGHT FOR ATTIC. THE LINES OF THE
INSCRIPTIONS ARE CURVED. OPEN HETA. V-SHAPED UPSILON. - Γυριτες: FROM γυρος, SC.
παλη, A WRESTLING TERM, BECAUSE THE MAN BENDS HIS BODY, CF. PHILOSTRATOS, DE
GYMNASTICA (JÜTHNER, 1909) [SO R. APUD K.; LSJ, S.V., CITES PHILOSTR. GYMN. 11.]
