Shoulder and neck fragment. Glaze misfired reddish brown on neck. Max. dim. 0.07. Agora XXI, p. 33, F 55, pl. 12.

Upper left corner of panel with zone of Lesbian cymation. Reserved line for side frames. Graffito incised after firing.

For the Lesbian cymation, but better drawn and placed below a band of egg pattern, see Düsseldorf, private collection (JdI 86, 1971, p. 110, fig. 11 and the remarks on p. 114, where K. Peters indicates that other examples of the ornament on choes [usually surmounted by an egg pattern] fall into the last three decades of the 5th century B.C.). Lang (Agora XXI, p. 33, F 55) gives an early-5th-century date for this fragment because (p. 24) "the eta is misused for epsilon or the dipthong. After the middle of the century epsilon as eta is the exception." 699 would seem to be such an exception.
