CAVI Comments: TYPE B. BEAZLEY SAYS THE NAME WAS GIVEN IN HEYDEMANN'S CATALOGUE, BUT HAS
SINCE BEEN OVERLOOKED; THE POSITION IS UNUSUAL, BUT SINCE THERE IS NO καλος, IT
IS PROBABLY THE YOUTH'S NAME. PHYRMOS OCCURS IN ANTH. PLAN. 322 AND PHYRME IN
CIG 3.6205 [THE EXAMPLES ARE TAKEN FROM PAPE]. OLIVER DENIES THAT THE PARALLEL
FOR PHYRMOS IS VALID, ALTHOUGH HE AGREES WITH THE READING. φυρμος MEANS A
MIXTURE OR CONFUSION: Φυρομαχος IS A COMMON ATHENIAN NAME. THE NAME ONLY HERE IN
LGPN II.
