^{page 271 note 1} Since writing the above it has occurred to me that, in the ceremonies of the Chalkeia (or some analogous Boeotian festival) may be found the true solution of the much discussed archaic plate in the British Museum B. 80 (for literature see Mr. Walters' catalogue, p. 76). Mr. Cecil Smith explains the obverse as a marriage procession, Mr. A. S. Murray as a sacrifice to Athene. A priestess presents to Athene an object that seems to me to be a λíκν∘ν. May not the scene be explained by a quasi-joint solution—a marriage procession of Athene, i.e. the Chalkeia ? On the reverse, the goat is sacrificed, the skin of which, the aegis, was earned to, and put on the newly married goddess or mortal to secure fertility. I throw out the suggestion, but its full discussion must lie reserved for a future date.
