VMs: Re: Regulus

Just found this on the Web (not in a very scholarly context, though):

Looking at the "Regulus nymph" again, the label below her
starts with an "o" then a space and what might be a "beta"
(sorry for not speaking EVA but I don't have the EVA mappings
handy). So - pushing one's imagination to the limits - the
label might actually be "Basileos", perhaps preceded by
an article (are there articles in Greek?).

Best regards,
