CAVI Inscriptions: NONSENSE: UNDER PELOS' WINGED HORSES, HORIZONTAL: (.)(ε)εH, RETR. THE
INSCRIPTION RUNS INTO THE HORSES' REAR LEGS. IT IS VERY PECULIAR: THE FIRST
LETTER IS VERY LARGE AND LOOKS LIKE AN IONIC GAMMA; IT TOUCHES THE TOP OF THE
NEXT LETTER SO THAT IT IS NOT QUITE CLEAR THAT THAT LETTER IS AN ARCHAIC
EPSILON. THE NEXT LETTER IS A RECTANGULAR EPSILON WITH VERY SHORT HASTAE; IT IS
MUCH SMALLER; THE LAST LETTER IS A NORMAL HETA, STILL SMALLER.
CAVI Comments: THE READING, FROM THE PHOTO, IS INCOMPLETE.
