CAVI Comments: The signature, an iambic trimeter, takes up exactly a half circle; see
AttScr. - The left horse is Φαλιός [sic accent], `dazzling white', or having a
white forehead. The same name on the BF plaque by Exekias, Berlin 1823 (see
Berlin 1811-1826), Technau (1936), pl. 127, upper right. The right horse:
Καλλιφορα [sic Moore] = a horse with beautiful mane and tail. Cf. F. Jeschonnek,
De nominibus quae Graeci pecudibus domesticis indiderunt (diss. Königsberg 1885)
36 and 40. [All this info. from Moore.] The horse Kalliphoras is shown as a
stallion; cf. also Toledo 1980.1022, CAVI 7712.
