^{page 22 note 1} I have no information as to the present whereabouts of this pyxis.

^{page 22 note 2} My warmest thanks are due to Professor Oikonomos, to Professor Rhomaios, and to Mr. and Mrs. Karousos for permission, given at various times, to take photographs and to publish vases in Athens, Nauplia, and Thebes. To Professor Eichler and Professor Mayence I am also much indebted for permission to use photographs of vases in Vienna and Brussels.

^{page 22 note 3} This shape is Beazley, ‘nuptial lebes type 2’, ARV p. viii.Google Scholar In Attica the connection of this shape with marriages is proved by vase-paintings. In Boeotia, however, there is nothing in the decoration of the vases themselves (generally floral or linear patterns) nor elsewhere, as far as I know, to suggest such a connection, and the shape is so common that the vases must have been intended for daily use. The lebes gamikos of the Boeotians seems to be represented by the handleless lebes or dinos, such as the inscribed vase Würzburg 658, Langlotz Taf. 220. The correct description of our no. 7 would probably be ‘pyxis in the shape of an Attic lebes gamikos type 2’, but for convenience and brevity I keep to the old though incorrect name of stamnos-pyxis for this shape in Boeotian fabrics (cp. P. N. Ure Classification of Boeotian Pottery p. 18).

^{page 22 note 4} Nicole, Catalogue p. 191, gives only lions and lionesses on the body and two dogs on the top. I have no photograph of the vase, and have seen only one side of it. It is possible that my description is not correct.

^{page 24 note 3} But cp. the fragment from the Kabeirion AM 1888 Taf. X, where a very similar ivy wreath is seen in conjunction with maenads whose drapery, as Pfuhl noted MuZ p. 717, is reminiscent of that of the Nikes of the Branteghem pyxis.

^{page 24 note 4} The lid, as Pagenstecher noted, ibid. p. 396, is alien.

^{page 25 note 1} Apart from the palmettes, two other features of the Brussels stamnos-pyxis are familiar in the Thetis group but rare in the Branteghem group—the dot-border above and the wave-meander below the palmette-zone.
