  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} cf. Threatte (1996), 687. {2} see Shapiro 37 n. 19. Shapiro's list of names does not agree entirely with that in the Beazley Archive. The transcriptions in Greek are from Delt. {2} Threatte (1996), 725. {3} Threatte (1996), 722-23.
  • CAVI Comments: Shapiro (1993) says `Archaeological Collection of Athens A 8922'. - Under `B]', Body, I reproduce exactly the entry in Bea. Arch. Delt. says `rich style'. Both scenes seem to be on the lid. I have not seen Delt., pl. 35,a. The top of the lid is not ill. - For Basileia see Ar., Birds 1753, etc. In ZPE Shapiro considered Basileia and Basile two different persons, but in Person. 38 he follows Burn who identifies them. - NOT YET FULLY PUBLISHED. See also the readings published by Catling and Alexandri. - For Βασιλη - Βασιλεια, see Threatte (1996), 59; for Κεκροψ, see ibid. 101 and 686.
