CAVI Subject: At left, a boy to right, holding a bird, feeds(?) a cock and a hen; at right,
a boy in a similar pose with a cock.
CAVI Inscriptions: On the neck, Gr.: Μελα̣νιππω̣ς{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} I was not certain of the omega (for omicron?); it is almost in ligature
with the sigma: clearly for Μελανιππος. If omega is right, perhaps omega for
omicron (AttScr (1990), 167). LGPN ii does not list this instance of the name.
Four-stroke sigma. Omega with the left `foot' only?
