CAVI Footnotes: {1} Ruijgh: either lacks the final sigma or was meant as genit. Cf. also
Threatte (1996), 725. {2} so R. saying: remarkable that Hermes who is not very
important in this story has such a long name. The dittography in the epithet and
in ΔΒΕΥς may best be explained by assuming the writer used Corinthian examples
(see Kretschmer 102f.). Parallels for ειμι (the regular Attic form): see
Threatte (1980), 176-77. {3} for the second letters see Threatte (1980), 342.
{4} the epithet of Poseidon, `he who rules far and wide,' occurs e.g. in Pindar,
Olymp. 8.31. Cf. also Threatte (1980), 546; ii, 231.
CAVI Comments: Eurymedon and Amphitrite are Furtwängler's restorations. Eurymedon would be
an epithet for Poseidon. See further, AttScr.The beta in ΔΒευς is sometimes
taken for a Corinthian epsilon. Kirchner reads Κϙυελνιος, but the upsilon is
indistinguishable from the lambda. Kirchner reads Κϙυελνιος (cf. also Threatte
(1980), 22), but the upsilon is indistinguishable from the lambda. The letters
in the nonsense inscriptions on B are thicker and coarser. The alphabet is
mainly Attic. The first epsilon of Eileithyia lacks the bottom horizontal.
Closed heta. Dotted theta. Koppa with large head.
