  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} attributed by Bothmer: see Carpenter (1984), 54, n. 7. {2} see Threatte (1980), 342. {3} The first letter of ΖΔευς (of T-bar shape) does not seem to be a reversed sigma; the intent, however, is to render the sound of zeta = zd (see Threatte (1980)). {5} CVA gives hΙqΑ..., retr., of which I can make nothing. {4} A blob before the heta. {6} CVA gives OIIEV, retr. {7} other possibilities: [Ανφιτ]ριτε, or [Αφιτ]ριτε. {8} probably [hερμες]. {9} see Kretschmer (1894),
  • CAVI Comments: The readings are extremely doubtful in many cases. Readings of B are mainly from Dugas (1960).
