CAVI Footnotes: {1} LEGAKIS' CLAIM THAT ONE SIGMA IS FOUR-STROKE IS ERRONEOUS.
CAVI Comments: SEE THE DISCUSSION OF THE SIGNATURE IN ATTSCR: ITS GENERAL CHARACTER
RESEMBLES THOSE ON VASES BY THE AMASIS PAINTER, BUT THE WRITING IS COARSER AND
THE GLAZE LESS BRILLIANT; I EXPRESS SOME DOUBTS ABOUT THE GENUINENESS. J. FREL
SAYS THAT THE AMASIS SIGNATURE IS IN THE HANDWRITING OF THE TALEIDES PAINTER. H.
MOMMSEN: THE LEKYTHOS RESEMBLES OTHERS BY THE TALEIDES PAINTER AND NOT THOSE
PAINTED BY THE AMASIS PAINTER; THEWRITING RESEMBLES THE SIGNATURES ON VASES BY
THE AMASIS PAINTER, BUT IS LARGER AND COARSER AND THE GLAZE IS LESS SHINY. "DIE
AMASIS-SIGNATUR IST DAHER äUSSERST UNGLAUBWüRDIG, AUCH WENN SIE SICH ALS ANTIK
ERWEISEN SOLLTE." THREE-STROKE SIGMA{1}.
