CAVI Footnotes: {1} ONE OF THE CUPS THAT MINGLE EPELEIAN ELEMENTS WITH EUERGIDEAN (BEAZLEY).
{2} PöHLMANN'S READINGS; FOR A, CONFIRMED BY V.&K.
CAVI Comments: COMPARE MUNICH 2608. PöHLMANN INTERPRETS A AS A SINGING LESSON: THE LEFT
YOUTH HOLDS THE STICK THAT WAS USED TO APPOINT SINGERS AT SYMPOSIA (SEE WJBB 18
N. 77): HE IS HAVING HIS TURN; THAT AT RIGHT IS CHECKING HIS SONG IN THE TABLETS
(HE WILL BE NEXT). THE SCENE IS AN OUTDOOR LESSON. PöHLMANN THINKS THIS THE
EARLIEST SCHOOL SCENE.
