CAVI Footnotes: {1} Parallel: Bologna PU 194, ABV 288/16, Group of Würzburg 199.
CAVI Comments: The Gr. discovered by Fischer-Hansen; he says the Gr. is rare and its meaning
obscure. The same occurs on Boston 01.8058, BF hydria related to the Lysippides
Painter, ABV 263/6; also under foot and in the Attic alphabet, but not by the
same hand. A third ocurrence is under the foot of a BF neck amphora by the
Antimenes Painter, ABV 269/36, (Ex) Baltimore, Robinson; see CVA, USA 4, pls.
28-29 and 30,3 and Johnston in Johnston (1979), 59, Chapter 3 n. 1, who says the
word is "a common way of denoting a plaster foot." [sic.] But F.-H. notes that
the three vases in question do not have plaster feet. Whatever the meaning, I
believe the inscriptions are ancient. Three-stroke sigma. Correction: the
graffito is modern; see 5104.
