Commentary

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.
