καλ]ος, sketch.
CAVI Comments: + Munich 8956 (with sigma, two interpoints and a kappa; it completes the
second kalos-name on A). [Hence the reading should be as in Nachbaur.] -
Apparently portrait-kalos, but the repetition of the names is curious. - Blösch'
readings: Αριστογ.(N)ς καλος. (The nu printed as reversed). Also gives
Πραξσιτελες καλος.
