CAVI Inscriptions: A: to right of the left column, facing it: τ[ων] Α̣θη̣ν[ηθε]ν̣ α[θλ]ων{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} a provisional publication; some frs. not yet placed. {2} CVA gives: [των
Α]θ[ενε]ν̣ α[θλ]ων. Mixed alphabet: but the e-sounds are not clearly preserved
and since the penultimate letter is clearly an omega in the ph., the whole
inscription should be Ionic. This occurs in the Robinson Group as early as ca.
430. Otherwise, the ph. is not very clear; it shows only the two thetas, the
alpha of athlon and the last two letters.
CAVI Comments: For the use of the Ionic alphabet in the Robinson Group, see AttScr (1990),
184 (this vase should be added). Very fragmentary but put together. Clearly
cleaned.
