CAVI Inscriptions: hιμερα.
CAVI Comments: Orsi, NSc: "un gruppo di figure sdraiate sopra una kline, sormontate dall'
enigmatico nome: hιμερα." Webster discusses the name and thinks it should refer
to the Sicilian town or its nymph; the inscription might have been commissioned
by a Sicilian in Athens. I think probably the name of a hetaera (whether present
or as a kale-name); for the name, cf. LGPN ii, IG i/3. 571 (500-480).
