CAVI Footnotes: {1} Group of Louvre F 137. Ure's Class of Skyphoi A 2. {2} listed for shape:
Ure's Class of Skyphoi A 1 [sic]. {3} digamma and epsilon in wrong order, for
Κλεϝιχα; strange letters for the gamma of γραφσαντι. Miswritten. {4} my reading
is unclear. {5} owner's name in nom.
CAVI Comments: Ex Papademas collection. Ex Archaeological Society. For the Logie Painter,
see Para. 93. - P. says the writers recognize Kleiwicha as the protomes on both
A and B; both lip Grr. refer to the same woman. This last does not seem to me at
all necessary. The Gr. on B is sloppier than that on A and is probably by a
different hand, hence from a different use. All persons are Boeotiansm, as is
the alphabet.
