CAVI Comments: + [AMSTERDAM?], ONCE HAGUE, SCHEURLEER COLLECTION: NECK. BEAZLEY IN ARV[2],
FOLLOWING M. ROBERTSON (1950), ATTRIBUTES THE VASE TO THE VERY EARLY BERLIN
PAINTER, BUT OTHERS HAD ATTRIBUTED IT TO EUTHYMIDES OR THE KLEOPHRADES PAINTER
AND ARV[1] HAD GIVEN IT TO A "VIENNA PAINTER." - THE EPSILON OF ευ γε IS A CLEAR
NU AND THE INSCRIPTION HAS BEEN READ νυ[ν] γε BY D. LEVI (SEE ATTSCR (1990), 82
AND N. 11), BUT I THINK THE NU IS A COPYING ERROR FOR EPSILON (ATTSCR (1990),
173). FURTWäNGLER SAW καλε INSTEAD OF καλλιστος ON B; SEE FR II, 80-81. - THE
LETTER FORMS ARE SOMEWHAT IDIOSYNCRATIC: ALPHA WITH HORIZONTAL CROSS BAR? GAMMA
= A VERTICAL HALF-ARROW{1}. THETA PERHAPS WITH DIAGONAL CROSS STROKE{2}. UPSILON
WITH ONE HASTA CURVED.
