- CAVI Lemma: base of BG bowl. From Athens. Unattributed. Mid-fourth.
- CAVI Subject: Impressed palmettes on the floor.
- 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.
- CAVI Comments: Disjointed writing with some attempt at calligraphy (curved strokes).
- CAVI Number: 0485
