CAVI Inscriptions: BODY: A: (Α)(θ)ενα, COMPLETE. Hερακλες. Απολ[λ]ον. BELOW THE HORSES' BELLIES:
Σοσιας{1}. BY THE HEAD OF ONE HORSE: Διος{2}. Hερμες, FIRST THREE LETTERS RETR.
B: Χαρ̣ιαδες, RETR. Πυλες. (.)υλ(ε)ς, RETR.{3}. Δικες. Δικε[ς]{4}.
Δευτερε[ς]{5}. Λ(ε)υκον.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} READ Ροσιας AS A HORSE NAME IN THE BM CAT. AND IN CVA. BUT SEE BEAZLEY IN
AJA. THE SIGMAS ARE REVERSED, AS ARE MANY OTHER LETTERS. {2} CONSIDERED A HORSE
NAME "UNLESS Διος MEANS (THE CHARIOT) OF ZEUS" (CVA). DIOS IS SUITABLE FOR A
HORSE, BUT SOSIAS SHOULD BE A HUMAN NAME. {3} I COULD NOT READ THE FIRST LETTER,
WHICH LOOKS MORE LIKE A SMEARED KAPPA THAN A PI; BEAZLEY IN AJΑ READS Πυλες FOR
THE SECOND OCCURRENCE AND THAT WAS NO DOUBT THE INTENTION. {4} BEAZLEY ALSO
READS ΔΙΚΕ, WHICH IS A REPETITION OF THE PRECEDING NAME. {5} I THOUGHT I SAW A
POSSIBLE TIP OF A FINAL SIGMA BY A BREAK, BUT BEAZLEY READ ΔΕΥΤΕΡΕ.
CAVI Comments: THE INTENTION IN B WAS TO GIVE THE WARRIORS REGULAR HUMAN NAMES. VERY COARSE
LEAGRAN WRITING. THE FIRST ALPHA IS UPSIDE DOWN.
