  • CAVI Inscriptions: A: to left of the left-hand column, kion.: τον Αθενεθεν αθλον. To left of the right-hand column, not kion.: Πολυζηλος αρχων.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} By the same hand as Brussels A 1703, ABV 413/2.
  • CAVI Comments: Ex Hearst. Both inscriptions are well written, with space before and aft. The athla inscription is Attic except for Ionic lambda; the second letter is open at the bottom, but hardly an omega; the second epsilon is written over the spear point(?). The archon inscription is Ionic. Peters in JdI shows the first letter of the archon inscription as N, the fourth as V.
