Σίταρχος[^a1]

[^a1: Σίταρχος | Σιτραχος | Σιτραξος [Boardman]]

a) Sitarkhos, un vagin, une verge.

b) et c) intraduisibles.

a) Sitarchos, a vagina, a penis.

b) and c) not usefully translatable.

a) Sitarchos, una vagina, un pene.

b) e c) intraducibili.

Boardman rightly interpreted a) as a pederastic graffito, although puzzled by the proper name at the beginning. As for its reading, a sigma is written above chi and was probably intended to replace the other one, written at end of the name, but conflicting with the kappa of κύσθος. Evidently, a lettering ΧΣ for ξ should be anachronistic, both in consideration of the date of the ceramics and beside a psi.

If inverting two letters, we get the personal name Σίταρχος, which is already attested at Eretria.
