Apparatus
1: ϹΠΙΚΗ (?Σπίκη/ς, Ἐπικ[λ]ῆ/ς, Ἐπική/ς) Robinson, 1913; Ἐπι[φ] κη΄ Oliverio, DAI, 1933-1936 The abbreviation of the month name is unusual but seems the most natural explanation, since the cutter left space at the end of the line as if he had completed his word or phrase; against it is the absence of any space between ΕΠΙ and ΚΗ.2: ΣΕΚΔΟΥ (-ς ἐκ δού-) Robinson, 1913; Σεισμ υ Oliverio, DAI, 1933-1936 The first letter has been read as sigma, but this cutter's sigma is lunate; the lower horizontal is almost certainly a chip on the surface.
