CAVI Inscriptions: A: Αρχεκλες : μεποιεσ[ε]ν. B: Αρχεκ[λε]ς [: μεποι]εσεν.
CAVI Comments: The readings are from ABV. In AttScr I state that the letters are short and small and quite different from London B 418; i.e., by a different hand. The name is spelled Archikles on London B 418 and Munich 2243. e for i is rare on vases; see Threatte (1980), 138. Kretschmer is right in stating that this form is of a different composition from the form with iota, after Archemachos/Archimachos, Archelaos/Archilaos, etc.
