CAVI Subject: Shoulder: A; Heracles and the Hydra. B: fight. Below: three animal friezes.
CAVI Inscriptions: Nonsense: shoulder: A: to left of the left-facing chariot horses, upward:
το:(.)ονοσ(.)[--]. Between their legs, downward: ϝσουδουι, retr. In front of the
charioteer's (i.e., Ioalaus') thighs, vertically down, not facing him:
αδο(ξ):ον{1}. To right of his feet, vertically down, not facing him:
νοϝ(ξ)ο̣ν{1}. To right of the woman behind Heracles, who faces right, downward:
νιι(ο)μγϝιο{2}. Behind Heracles' head is a four-letter inscription, roughly
horizontaL: (.)οε(.), retr. Another short inscription is found to right of his
thigh, diagonally down and facing him: αεσοε. B: between the heads of the pair
of fighters at left, curving downward and facing the second man: hοεο(σ)ο{3}. To
right of the shin of the left warrior of the right pair, diagonally downward:
νοα̣[--]. Between their heads, vertically down and facing the left man(?):
ινοισ(.){4}. At the extreme right, under the left leg of a running figure,
horizontal: [--]τοι vacat.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} note the letters that look like xi's. I think they are squiggly
four-stroke sigmas, although there are also three-stroke sigmas! {2} the omicron
has a vertical line on its right. {3} clearly a squiggly sigma. {4} the last
letter looks like a `6'; it should be an omicron.
CAVI Comments: Fragmentary. - Attic alphabet with sigma 1 and 2, but also the squiggly
sigmas, if they are that. Digamma 2 (u-shaped). Large nu 6's and omicron 1's.
