CAVI Inscriptions: UNDER FOOT, GR.: ΜΑ τι[μη] (3 1/4 OBOLS) FOLLOWED BY XI TURNED 90 DEGREES,

CAVI Comments: JOHNSTON IN `AUKTION' (BY LETTER) READS MA AS AN INTRODUCTORY MONOGRAM OF
TYPE JOHNSTON (1979), 2B; THEN THE PRICE OF THIS VASE IS 3 1/4 OBOLS, WHICH IS
HIGH; HE DOES NOT COMMENT ON THE FF. SIGNS. VICKERS READS THE PRICE AS FOR FOUR
ITEMS, OBVIOUSLY INTERPETING THE `XI' PLUS THE EXTRA LINE AS `FOUR' AND IGNORING
THE HORIZONTALS OF THE FIRST TWO SIGNS (DRACHMAI?). OAKLEY: ΜΑ IS PERHAPS AN
ABBREVIATION OF A NAME (JOHNSTON TYPE 2B, 89-90 AND 194), FOLLOWED BY τι[μη] AND
TWO-DOT PUNCTUATION. THEN 3 HORIZONTAL LINES AND C; FOUR VERTICAL LINES, THE
FIRST THREE OF WHICH ARE CROSSED BY A HORIZONTAL LINE. [THIS SHOULD BE A PRICE
GR.] OAKLEY, HOWEVER, TRIES OTHER EXPLANATIONS (SEE P. 16) AND BELIEVES THE
READING IS UNCERTAIN. - THE AIM OF GILL AND VICKERS IS TO SHOW HOW CHEAP VASES
WERE.
