CAVI Subject: Shoulder: chariot race. Body: The Struggle for the Tripod.
CAVI Inscriptions: Under the foot, Grr.: ΛΗ. ληκυ:λ:λη. ΛΗ [[both ΛΗ lig.]]{1}. Next to it,
along the central cavity, very many short parallel lines, some longer (I counted
a total of 28(?)). On the other side of this ligature is a delta topping a
vertical with two horizontal cross bars (type 3F in Johnston (1979); cf. also 2F
and pp. 221f.)
CAVI Footnotes: {1} larger than the other ligature and with a smaller eta inside.
CAVI Comments: Ex [Rome,] Depoletti. CVA, on p. 25, gives Alan Johnston's explanation: some
marks are written over earlier marks. Lambda stands for 30 and there ought to be
30 strokes in the tally. The original notation was a small ligature ΛΗ [[lig.]]
(that found under the second large ligature) plus the tally plus ληκυ:λ:λη. The
later notation are the two large ligatures and the deltoid sign. Parallels for
the inscriptions: Munich 1717 and Toledo 1969.371 (qq.vv.). Johnston, Johnston
(1979), p. 221 argues that ΛΗ is not a price as stipulated by Amyx, Jonkees and
Webster.
