Extract

A cylix of fine ware, with red figures upon a black background, acquired from the Princess de Canino by the British Museum, has, on one side, a combat of warriors, the principal of whom is named Menelaus, MENELEOΣ. The reverse represents a naked youth whose head is crowned, with a garment thrown across his shoulders, leading a horse in each hand by a bridle. Above the head of this figure is inscribed ΠΛEXΣIΠΠOΣ (πλήξιππος.)
