CAVI Subject: A: duel of two hoplites. B: similar (the right shield device: leopard).
CAVI Inscriptions: Nonsense: A: behind the left hoplite's head: ϝκεκν. Between heads, closer to
the right hoplite: γςκνγεο. B: in the same position as the second inscription on
A: ϝκεκϝκμ.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} This vase "bears some resemblance to the work of the Phrynos Painter"
(Beazley).
CAVI Comments: Are the inscriptions intended for the "names" of the hoplites? Large letters.
Digamma U-shaped. The possibility that the digammas are epsilons is not to be
excluded.
