CAVI Comments: Ex Northwick Park, Spencer-Churchill. Beazley suggests the monogram to be of
a name like Thaliarchos. He also refers to Berlin 2188 as having the same
monogram (see Johnston (1979)'s better lists). For speculations on the meaning
of μυρτωται (written by an Ionian, according to Beazley, which is accepted by
Johnston) see Johnston (1979), p. 233. `Exhib.' translates: 20 Myrtotai: 7.
Myrtotai being a kind of vase patterned with myrtle. For the inscription, cf.
Berlin 2188, which Threatte (1980), 35/25 says is by the same hand; cf. also
ibid. 116.
