CAVI Footnotes: {1} THE LAST THREE LETTERS ARE IN REVERSE ORDER. THE SECOND LETTER HAS BEEN
MUCH DISCUSSED. I SAW A CURVED STROKE AS FOR AN OMICRON OR D-SHAPED RHO;
DEFINITELY NOT PART OF A LAMBDA, AS PREFERRED BY SMITH (WHO SAYS THAT KLITOMENES
OCCURS ON PAROS) AND ADOPTED BY BEAZLEY IN ABV. BOTHMER IN PARA. ALSO OPTS FOR
RHO. I DO NOT KNOW THE NAME KRITOMENES, WHICH HOWEVER IS ACCEPTED IN LGPN II.
SMITH RIGHTLY THINKS THE INSCRIPTIONS COPIED FROM A DRAFT, WITH COPYING ERRORS.
{2} UNEVEN SPACING: THERE ARE GAPS AFTER THE FIRST LETTER, AFTER THE OMICRON,
BEFORE εν AND BEFORE THE EXTRA SIGMA: ε^πο^ιεσ^εν^{σ}: `SYLLABIC' WRITING OF
SORTS.
