  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} CF. δεφομαι (BEAZLEY (1931–2)). {2} CF. IL. 5.759-60: οι δε εκηλοι τερπονται (RICHTER AS A SECOND SUGGESTION, ACCEPTED BY BEAZLEY IN AJA). {3} FROM ψωλή. {4} BEAZLEY ORIGINALLY DOUBTED THIS SIGNATURE [PROBABLY BECAUSE THE INCISION CAUSED MUCH FLAKING OF THE GLAZE], BUT LATER RECANTED; SEE JHS 52. COHEN POINTS OUT THAT THE BG SEGMENT UNDER THE HANDLE WAS PLANNED FOR AN INSCRIPTION (WHICH WAS EXECUTED AFTER FIRING); THIS BG SEGMENT IMITATES CORINTHIAN PRACTICE. {5} Hευς ετι, "NOBLE PERSEUS FURTHERMORE" (RICHTER), BUT BEAZLEY RIGHTLY CONSIDERS THE LETTERS MEANINGLESS (BSA 32). {6} Hερμες Hοδιτες HAS OCCURRED TO ME, BUT THE LETTERS ARE IN THE WRONG SEQUENCE AND THE LAST LETTER SEEMS TO BE AN IOTA. τῃ Ερμης οδι (RICHTER) IS HARDLY RIGHT. {7} HAMPE'S ATTEMPT TO READ THESE INSCRIPTIONS AS THE CRIES OF CRANES (CF. IL. 3,1 FF.) IS NOT CONVINCING.
