CAVI Footnotes: {1} bought in Athens. {2} Eukl[e]ia, Shapiro.
CAVI Comments: The inscription Adonis (as well as the other inscriptions) were discovered by
Wehgartner. Beazley had suggested Phaon, others a girl or Adonis. For Eunomia
and Eukleia, see Hampe (1955), 107ff.; LIMC, s. vv. Less reliable is D. Metzler,
`Eunomia und Aphrodite,' Hephaistos 2 (1980) 73ff. W. gives a list of six
occurrences of Eukleia on Attic vases. Ionic alphabet.
