From the Getty Museum record
Single figures are preserved on either side of this amphora. On A: an athlete holds a discus and stands poised to throw it. His name, Phayllos, is inscribed, and partially preserved. Another inscription is preserved on the other side of the figure (kotenoi). On B: an athlete holds a javelin. He seems to be measuring its length with his hand. There is an inscription preserved on this side as well (exorei, xoisi). The neck was broken and has been restored.
