QUARTER FIFTH.
CAVI Subject: RAYS ABOVE THE FOOT.
CAVI Inscriptions: ON THE BOTTOM, CIRCULAR GR.: Σικελα καταπυγ[αινα] V.
CAVI Comments: THE LETTERS ARE HARD TO CLASSIFY, SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN IN PART OVERWRITTEN
AND ERASED. ACCORDING TO VANDERPOOL THE WRITER FIRST WROTE καταγυ, THEN
CORRECTED TO καταπυγ; ACCORDING TO V.&S. AND LANG HE FIRST WROTE κατπυ (THIS
VERSION MAY BE RIGHT). FINALLY AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO ERASE THE INSCRIPTION;
VANDERPOOL SAYS THIS HAPPENED IN A NUMBER OF καταπυγων INSCRIPTIONS. FOR THE
FORM καταπυγαινα, SEE HESP. 22 (1953) 216-17. LANG AND V.&S. PRINT Σικελα, AS
DOES LGPN II, BUT PAPE HAS Σικελη, `THE SICILIAN WOMAN.' THE DORIC FORM SHOWS
THAT SHE REALLY WAS A FOREIGNER.
