^{page 13 note 2} The ‘Transition’ kylix (below p. 16).

^{page 13 note 4} It has been found in a Geometric context in Cyprus. See below.

^{page 13 note 5} Contrast the irregular bulge on the stem of No. 61. If I am right in thinking that this shape is a late development of the Mycenaean kylix, it is difficult to derive it directly from Minyan kylix stems, which are rare in West Greece.

Two examples in Cyprus are of the Ithacan type (Myres, Cesnola Collection in New York No. 458CrossRefGoogle Scholar). Prof. Myres has pointed out to me that this is only one phase of a tendency common in Cyprus and in other places to put one or more rings on footed vessels of various types.

See also Daniel, J. F.AJA XLI pp. 56 ff.Google Scholar Pl. IV, 54. The author dates these tombs too high. All the vases look proto Geometric, including the two ‘imported Mycenaean’ vases.

A ringed Kylix occurs in a grave with a single burial in Cyprus which the excavator ascribed to the Geometric period (Swedish Cyprus Expedition Pl. XC M. 65, 4, from Marion). An earlier shape of kylix is found in a Geometric grave in Rhodes (Clara Rhodos VI, VI I Fig. 232).

^{page 20 note 4} The shape is not entirely unlike that of the vase from the Agora mentioned above, p. 19. Mr. Robertson kindly called my attention to the resemblance between these vases and some Laconian kantharoi (Lane, BSA XXXIV p. 154 Fig. 20 D, MGoogle Scholar). It is too close to be accidental, but the sharper handles, different angle of the lips, different clay do not suggest that the Ithaca kantharoi are Laconian imports but that the Laconian vases are influenced by the same source. A similar fabric has been found at Olympia (quoted by permission of Dr. Kunze). See also nos. 1–5 above, with Laconian connections.

Even so, we need not date any other vase in the grave 540 B.C., most of those dateable being certainly earlier.
