CAVI Footnotes: {1} FR gives parallels for Melosa: stamnos (?RF pelike) Louvre G 375 (CAVI 6535), Mon. Inst. 1856, 10,2; RF calyx krater Leningrad inv. 769 (CAVI 7382), Mon. 8, 44; RF stamnos Oxford 522 (CAVI 5914), JHS 1904, 307, pl. 8. [[Meled-?]]
CAVI Comments: The name Melousa seems to me connected with μελος, although there is a proper name Μελλουσα (Pape).
