Note 569 — Chapter IV · Egypt
Reading edition
Three of the stamped black sherds from Naukratis (B.S.A. V. p. 56, nos. 113–15) are inscribed, one with a very secular inscription, one with a Cypriote abbreviation, and one with what may be the beginning of a dedication. The secular inscription on one example of a very common fabric is no argument against the use of other examples for religious purposes.
