Kalos inscription
The Kalos inscription was a form of epigraph found on attic vases in antiquity, common between 550 and 450 BCE, and usually found on symposion vessels. The word καλός means "beautiful"; here it had an erotic connotation, and the inscription took the form of a youth's name, in the nominative singular, followed by "kalos".
