καλε{3}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} cf. London B 330. {2} a certain reading. Ηρις for Εαρις, (if that name

CAVI Comments: For the nonsense inscriptions see JHS; cf. Boulogne 417 (ABV 260/32, manner
of the Lysippides Painter) and Brussels R 291 (270/52, by the Antimenes
Painter). In ABV Beazley states that the vase is a replica, by a different hand,
of Würzburg 304.
