CAVI Inscriptions: ON THE NECK, HORIZONTAL TWO-LINER: Μυσον εγραφσεν καποι|εσεν{1}. A: ON THE
BASE OF THE ALTAR, NONSENSE PARTLY COVERED BY LINES: (.)O(.)>γ(.)(.). I AM NOT
CERTAIN THAT THESE ARE LETTERS.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} THE SECOND LINE IS CENTERED UNDER THE LETTERS ραφσ, WITH SEVEN LETTERS ON
EITHER SIDE.
CAVI Comments: FRS. A - B. A SMALL VASE. - ROBERTSON THINKS IT REASONABLE TO HYPOTHESIZE
THAT THE PAINTER IS THE DEDICATOR, A THEORY HE THINKS SUPPORTED BY THE SUBJECTS
ON THE VASE. POTTIER, MON. PIOT 29 (1928) 149-92, REJECTED BEAZLEY'S
CONSTRUCTION OF MYSON'S WORKS, BUT SEE NOW L. BERGE, MYSON: A CRAFTSMAN OF
ATHENIAN RED-FIGURED VASES (1992). A AND B BOTH HAVE ATHENA AND A YOUTH: POTTIER
SUGGESTED THAT HE WAS MYSON HIMSELF; ROBERTSON HAS A DIFFERENT IDEA; SEE P. 127,
WHERE HE CITES BERGE WHO THINKS THE FIGURE WITH ATHENA ON A IS MYSON, THAT ON
THE OTHER SIDE, THE PIG PAINTER; THE OCCASION OF THE DEDICATION BEING THE
LATTER'S ENTRY INTO THE WORKSHOP, BEING PERHAPS A SON OR NEPHEW. THIS IS TOO
SPECULATIVE. - THE NU REVERSED THREE TIMES.
