CAVI Footnotes: {1} Langlotz suggested Return of Persephone. {2} done from pl. 81 in
Graef–Langlotz. Langlotz read [εγραψα], Beazley γραψας, adding that the name may
have been followed by ανεθηκεν or the like. Hence: Μικιων [ανεθηκεν αυτος]
γραψας(?). (Meaning he painted the vase; but the vase is earlier than other
vases signed Mikion as potter; see ARV[2] 1341). Cf. Acr. 2134, ABV 347: ...
ανεθεκεν ... αυτος ποι[εσας].
CAVI Comments: Is Mikion to be distinguished from the potter? See the discussion in
Robertson.
