CAVI Inscriptions: ON THE BOTTOM, GR. AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE: Διονυσιος VAC.2 Σωφρονας |{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} THE INSCRIPTION ALMOST FILLS A COMPLETE CIRCLE. V.&S. AND LANG REVERSE
THE ORDER OF THE NAMES, ON THE ASSUMPTION, NO DOUBT, THAT S.' NAME WAS WRITTEN
FIRST. I THINK THAT D.'S NAME WAS WRITTEN FIRST, AND S.' AFTER A SHORT VACAT;
THAT NAME RAN TOO CLOSE TO THE DELTA OF THE FIRST NAME, WHENCE THE DIVIDER. LANG
THINKS OF JOINED OWNERS. ACCORDING TO MY NOTES, V.&S. READ Σωφρονας | Διονυσιος
AND CLASSIFIED IT UNDER LOVE NAMES, WHICH SEEMS UNLIKELY.
