Commentary
The second word might be either the verb ἀνέθηκε or the name of the deity to whom the vase was dedicated or even (but less plausibly) the father's name of the dedicant.
Mei, 2013 Mei, O., 2013, Cirene e la ceramica laconica, Monografie di archeologia libica35, Cirene 'Atene d'Africa'6, Rome - see in bibliography , pp. 68-69 ascribes the vase to the 'painter of Hunting'.
