CAVI Lemma: Fr. of kantharos-like RF plastic vase (perhaps a rhyton). From Greece?
Unattributed. First quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: Owl between olive sprigs.
CAVI Inscriptions: Above the owl: Φανος̣.
CAVI Comments: + Louvre C 979 (K 591). Not necessarily complete before or aft. Beazley
compares Athens N.M. 18,570 by a Brygan (Painter of London D 15), which has
Φανος καλος. He wrongly thought the vertical to the left of the phi may have
been a false start; it is part of the letter. Greifenhagen, AA 1957, 12 n. 11a
omits the sigma. - Bothmer: the fr. joins a Brygan plastic vase in the shape of
an owl in the Louvre [no doubt C 979]. B. thinks Phanos must be the same as that
on ARV[2] 390-91/1-2.

52 lists the Louvre fr. as a fr. of a rhyton (not Sotadean) but his
interpretation of the inscription is clearly wrong.
