CAVI Footnotes: {1} I HAD THE AREA CLEANED: ONLY A TRACE REMAINS OF THE EPSILON. THE LAMBDA
IS CLEARLY INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM AN UPSILON, ALTHOUGH ALL OTHER LAMBDA'S ARE OF
THE REGULAR ATTIC SHAPE. ON THIS SEE BEAZLEY (1941), 599. I THINK THIS IS A REAL
WRITING (COPYING?) MISTAKE. {2} BEAZLEY'S RESTORATION; HE REFERS THE NAME TO THE
FLEEING NEREID. {3} THE SIGMA WITH AN ACCIDENTAL EXTRA STROKE. BEAZLEY SUGGESTS
THAT THIS REFERS TO HERACLES. {4} THE LETTERS ARE SMALL, BUT I THOUGHT THE
INSCRIPTION LOOKED ANCIENT. FOR PARALLELS SEE COPENHAGEN, NY CARLSBERG 2654 AND
MISSISSIPPI, UNIVERSITY MUSEUM 1977.3.57 (EX BALTIMORE, ROBINSON). NOT MENTIONED
IN CVA. THE GRAFFITO IS MODERN; SEE 5104.
