retr.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} for stylistic parallels see Kunisch (1986), 33 n. 1. {2} the last letter
in a crack and uncertain. The name must be miswritten. Kalos-name w/o kalos?? My
readings from photo. - According to my note from the picture in the Sotheby cat.
Τελεσες is retr. In `Symposion' the inscriptions are given in Roman alphabet as
Kastor, Polydeukes and (the dog, with a question mark) Telesei [sic: is that
right? Is it really the name of the dog?] - Could it be Τελεσ[ι]ες̣, retr.,
which occurs on Munich 8953, by Euphronios. A potter Τελεσιας is listed in LGPN
ii as of ca. 550 (cf. ABV (1956), 177, bottom: LM cup).
