CAVI Lemma: FR. OF BF PLAQUE. FROM ATHENS. UNATTRIBUTED. LATE SIXTH.
CAVI Subject: FRONT: ATHENA; BELOW, HOUND CHASING A HARE; BELOW: HERACLES PURSUING A
CENTAUR. BACK: RELIEF INSTRUMENT TRIED OUT; INSCRIPTION.
CAVI Inscriptions: BACK: IN TWO LINES, WITH STOICH. OVERLAPPING: V. εποιε[σεν]{1}. .....[---
[---]δες VACAT. ---]...
CAVI Footnotes: {1} OR εποιε.
CAVI Comments: THE SECOND LINE IS IN LARGER LETTERS THAN THE FIRST; YET THE TWO OVERLAPPING
LETTERS ARE STOICH. THE LETTERS ARE WIDELY SPACED AND CLEARLY WRITTEN IN
`EPIGRAPHIC SCRIPT.' BEAZLEY STATES: "THE PLAQUE WAS ORIGINALLY A BIG ONE, WHICH
GOT BROKEN BEFORE BEING PAINTED AND WAS USED FOR SCRIBBLING ON - TO TRY THE
BRUSH. THE `SIGNATURE' BELONGS TO THIS STAGE. A SMALLER PLAQUE WAS CUT FROM IT
AND PAINTED ON THE OTHER SIDE." I THINK THE SIGNATURE WAS A MODEL TO BE USED
ELSEWHERE. FOR A DISCUSSION OF MODELS SEE ATTSCR (1990), 174, WHERE THIS FR.
SHOULD HAVE BEEN MENTIONED. [CF. HOWEVER ACR. I, 2517?]
