“Perhaps among later additions is the name Ergotimos on (b) col.3, 1.58. In this name the omikra are taller as compared with other omikra in the list of names, but the other letters are of the same height.

“[W]hat follows I would explain as an unsuccessful attempt at spelling the verbal form καμομένου with the first omikron clumsily written in the gap at the top of Powell’s character 45 with the upper curve following the scratch.

“[U]pper l. dolphin swims anti-clockwise, necklace-pendant is vase, there are two omikra in legend and signature beneath truncation is ΦΡΥΓΙΛΛ/ΟΣ.”
