He would also regard the so-called σμηματοθήκη (see p. 198) as a vase of this class; but this seems much more doubtful. See also p. 167, under πλημοχόη. Footnote 472: Cf. Böhlau, _Ion. u. Ital.

Report_, p. 73; and it certainly seems more probable that metal vessels would have been used for this purpose; moreover, the form of the θυμιατήριον is well known. But he has personally assured the present writer that the clay κώθωνες show traces internally of the use of fire. Footnote 474: Reinach, i. 235 = Naples 3255. Footnote 475: See p. 214.
