CAVI Inscriptions: B: Nικον. Μυν[ν]ον. hικετες καλο(ς) εμοι δοκει{1}. Under the foot, Dip. (in
BG): ΣΟ with three-stroke sigma.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the last sigma is printed as nu in both ARV[2] and Para.; probably a
sideways sigma.
CAVI Comments: A small vase. The inscriptions given as read by Bothmer after a cleaning of
the vase, with a few changes. The text is not given in exactly the same way in
Para. and ARV[2]: ARV[2] has the lambda of kalos reversed and separates: ΕΜΟ
ΙΔΟ̣Κ̣Ε̣Ι; Para. has regular Attic lambda and separates the words. Neither has
any punctuation, although Bothmer thinks (rightly) that the first two names are
those of the charioteers. To judge by CVA, the words seem to be written in
groups of similar length, for it prints: MVNOW [sic] N,KON HIΓΠTE IMOI KONON,
which is of course nonsensical. This is an earlier Hiketes than that praised by
Douris and his contemporaries.
