CAVI Comments: Very early, his style not yet formed, recalls his teacher Psiax (Robertson).
"Ricci ... rejects the signature of Epiktetos and is reminded of Psiax: I think
the drawing is by Epiktetos, although there are certain resemblances to Psiax;
compare also [London, Victoria and Albert Museum 275.64] the Brachas vase (p.
9)," Beazley. Cohen states that the foot (with the sig. of Andokides) does not
belong and is perhaps from an amphora; see `Literate Potter' and Huber. For Gr.
inscriptions in early RF see AttScr (1990), 58-59.
