Assigned by Beazley to the Painter of P 24102, a.k.a. the Painter of the Agora Chairias Cups (ARV2 176--177; Paralip. 339; Addenda 185). See H. A. Thompson, Hesperia 27, 1958 [ pp. 145--160], p. 159, note 31. Not in ARV2.
1606 probably belongs to the Wider Circle of the Nikosthenes Painter and bears some resemblance to these satyrs: Brussels A 201 (ARV2 133, 19); Brussels A 1377 (ARV2 134, 2; Addenda 177); and Boston 08.30a (ARV2 135 [a]; Addenda 177); for the locks of hair ending in inverted question marks, cf. especially the right satyr on side B of the last.
