:Ηφα[ιστος?].
CAVI Comments: EX FAUVEL AND POURTALèS COLLECTIONS. UNCLEAR WHETHER HEPHAESTUS WAS DEPICTED
AND WHETHER ATHENA'S NAME IS IN THE NOM. OR IN THE DAT. (WHICH WOULD MAKE THIS A
DEDICATION). FURTW. SAYS THAT THE TWO DOTS ARE DEFINITELY PUNCTUATION AND NOT AN
IOTA; BUT I NOTE THAT THERE IS A VACAT BEFORE THE PUNCTUATION AND THE DOTS ARE
CLOSE TO THE SECOND NAME. IONIC ALPHABET.
