CAVI Footnotes: {1} UNCERTAIN, BEAZLEY. {2} OR (κ)α̣(λ)(η). THE KAPPA WITH A SHORT PARALLEL
STROKE; ALPHA LACKS THE CROSS STROKE; LAMBDA, TWO SHORT PARALLEL STROKES;
EPSILON SMEARED, COULD ALSO BE ETA. THIS LOOKS LIKE AN IMITATION OF καλη. {3} MY
READING IS OF MISSHAPEN LETTERS; THE `ALPHA' IS LIKE THAT IN THE FIRST
INSCRIPTION. CC GIVES Υ(Γ)... AND THINKS PROBABLY Υγιεια, WHICH IS NOT RIGHT.
NONSENSE? {4} `PARIS' APPARENTLY NOT INSCRIBED.
