CAVI Comments: The numerous attempts at reading the end of this inscription are fully listed
and discussed by Powell. I follow Studniczka, AM 18 (1893) 226 in reading τουτο
δεκαν μιν, "dem soll dieses Gefäss zu Teil werden," with δεκαν supported by
Langdon (1975), 139-40. For a discussion of the letter forms, see also AttScr.
Note the crooked iota. M. Marcovich has a note in Marchovich (1969) in which he
reads: τοτοδεκλεμεν, i.e. τουτου δ' εκλημην (κεκλημαι almost = ειμι).
