CAVI Subject: Shoulder: chariots, with Iris between them. Body: Apollo mounting a chariot,
with Artemis, Hermes and Leto.
CAVI Inscriptions: Shoulder: Ι(ρ)ις{1}. Body: behind Apollo's head: Απολ[λ]ονος, retr. To right
of Artemis' neck (i.e., behind her): Αρτεμιδος. Similar for Hermes: hερμου.
Above Leto's head: Λετους{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} CVA reads ιοισ, but the second letter is probably a D-shaped rho (non
vidi); cf. Threatte (1980), 144. {2} CVA gives λετου; JdI has Λετους.
CAVI Comments: De la Geniere identifies the winged figure on the shoulder as Eris, but
Shapiro points out that the reading is Iris. See also LIMC iv, 848/11.
