CAVI Footnotes: {1} T.'S SCEPTER INTERVENES. ALL BUT THE FIRST TWO LETTERS ARE VISIBLE IN PL.
26 OF `GENERATION' AND ARE IN THE ATTIC ALPHABET. {2} STANLEY REFERS THE
INSCRIPTION TO THE LYRE PLAYER AS REPRESENTING THE EDUCATIONAL EFFECT OF THE
SYMPOSIUM, BUT I THINK IT MIGHT REFER TO THE BOY IN THE MIDDLE, DESPITE THE
LOCATION. B MAY REFER TO A CONFLICT BETWEEN TWO LOVERS OFFERING ATHLETICS AND
MUSIC RESPECTIVELY.
