CAVI Comments: By a Polygnotan, but not by Polygnotos himself; the pi need not be the first
letter; and the inscription might be a kalos-inscription (Beazley){1}. Guy: a
possible `forged' signature as that of Douris on the Triptolemos Painter's
Berlin 2286 (Guy speculates on the meaning of the Berlin signature on p. 11).
