GENERAL NOTES
| According to Ch. Robin, it is not sure if the inscription is belonging to the calathos, since neither the inside of the foot or the inner rim of the lip seem to have a surface identical to that of picture showing the calathos. The text is incised in a double line. Furthermore, according to the editor, based on paleographical criteria, the inscription could be dated between the 270-285 AD. |
