CAVI Comments: = 1888.11-15.5. A much published vase. The vase was made for the Panathenaea
of 334; the boxers have new armored gloves, which they had not in 338
(Robertson). The archon inscription is Ionic, the athla inscription, Attic
except for Ionic lambda. "Die Buchstaben der Beischrift [sic] sind klein und
zierlich und stehen damit im Gegensatz zu denen der übrigen Amphoren dieses
Jahrgangs." (Eschbach).
