CAVI Comments: BEAZLEY (1931A) POINTS OUT THAT νυμφη HERE MEANS THE NEW BRIDE (`DIE
NEUVERMäHLTE'). THE TIMODEMOS WITHOUT καλος ON LOUVRE C 11,930 IS LATER AND
ANOTHER PERSON (ARV[2], IBID.). - A BRIDAL SCENE: I HAVE A NOTE FROM REBECA
HAGUE-SINOS' MS. OF HER BOOK ON WEDDINGS (CH. 8, N. 34), WHICH HAS NOW BEEN
PUBLISHED (WITH OAKLEY): ILL. IN FIG. 12. THE VASE GIVES THE GROOM'S NAME [AS A
KALOS] BUT NOT THAT OF THE BRIDE. THE NAME OF THE BRIDE SHOULD NOT BE MENTIONED:
D. SCHAPS, CQ 1977, 323-30. A.H. SOMMERSTEIN, QUADERNI DI STORIA 11 (1980)
393-409. H. ASSUMES TAG-KALOS.
