Αστυδαμα[ς]. To right of a woman: Τι[μοδ]ικε{1}. To right of a man:

Χαιτος̣, retr. Σφεκις.(3)
- CAVI Footnotes: {1} these inscriptions were corrected by Beazley from Brants' readings; he
prefers Τι[μοδ]ικε to Τι[μον]ικε; so also CVA. {2} so Brants, text. Or
[Α]θε[ναια], CVA. {3} there is room for only one letter before the alpha. But
note that Vos in CVA reads: [Μινοτα]υρος, retr. {4} the sigma is below the
omicron. [[Addenda:]] E] {1} so K.; where does Bothmer attribute? {2} "Rather
Θε[σευς] than [Α]θε[ναια], because Theseus fights the Minotaur and the monster
is named as well." {3} cocks and hen. Leukos also on Liverpool 56.19.19. {4} see
Kretschmer (1894), 171.
- CAVI Comments: = xiv 3. Brants compares Louvre E 850; Beazley, Vatican 308 (ABV 98/39).
There are small diferences in CVA from the readings listed here; they have not
all been registered. CVA's facss. are very poor.
