CAVI Inscriptions: On warrior's right, at mid-height, symmetrical with the stream of blood
gushing from his left side, i.e. diagonally downward, not straight: καοσ(ο)οι.
[This differs somewhat from CAVI.]{1}. Int.: to right of his body, starting
under the armpit, nonsense: καοσε(ο)(γ) vac.{1}. — {1} my reading from photo.;
the facs. has the sixth letter as a blob and the last as an iota. The `gamma'
probably some other letter.
CAVI Comments: Coarse Attic writing, suitable for Agora Chairias Painter, but are there
other vases with nonsense inscriptions by him? - I noted that there might be
another line of inscription to the right of that reported. Ex collections, M.E.
and The Hague, Scheurleer. E] {1} Hemelrijk thinks perhaps corruption of καλος
παις. [The fifth letter is probably not an omicron; it may be a miswritten pi. -
My addition, but see my original reading in CAVI.]
