CAVI Footnotes: {1} THIS IS TO LEFT OF THE SINGLE HANDLE; THERE MUST BE FURTHER DECORATION ON
THE OTHER SIDE. {2} THERE IS SPACE IN THE WG FOR THE INITIAL HETA BUT IT LOOKS
AS IF NOTHING HAD BEEN WRITTEN THERE; HOWEVER THE DISAPPEARANCE OF BG ON WG IS
COMMON SO [H] IS PROBABLY JUSTIFIED. {3} THE OMICRON LOOKS LIKE AN EPSILON,
SOMEWHAT DISJOINTED, BUT THAT MAY BE A COINCIDENCE.
