During his visit to the Agora in the summer of 1953, Beazley suggested that 318 is from the Group of Polygnotos (not in ARV2). The drawing of the laurel wreath is close to that on two bell-kraters from this Group: Madrid 11013 (ARV2 1054, 51; Matheson, Polygnotos, p. 458, cat. no. PGU 61) and Louvre G 492 (ARV2 1054, 55; Addenda 322; Matheson, p. 459, cat. no. PGU 65).
