CAVI Inscriptions: A: CENTERED ABOVE THESEUS' HEAD AND VERY CLOSE TO IT: Θεσευς.
CAVI Comments: THESEUS IS THE READING ACCEPTED BY BEAZLEY IN JHS AND CB; IT WAS ORIGINALLY THE READING OF POTTIER AND HEYDEMANN (SEE CVA). CVA, HOWEVER READ: (π)ε(λ)ϝυς, I.E. (Π)ελευς, CHANGING THE SUBJECT TO THE PURSUIT OF THETIS BY PELEUS. IT IS NO DOUBT AN EARLY AMATORY EXPLOIT OF THESEUS, OF WHICH THERE ARE MANY.
