- CAVI Collection: Paris, Cab. Méd. 243.
- CAVI Lemma: BF Panathenaic amphora. From Camiros. Unattributed. Third quarter sixth. Ca.
530 (Neils).
- CAVI Subject: A: the Panathenaic Athena, placed between two cock columns and approached by
a small naked youth on each side (victors). Note the dinoi on top of the
columns. B: an acrobat with shields (device: a whorl) standing on a horse with a
rider; under the horse, a man with a pick axe; at left, a youth playing pipes;
at the farther left, onlookers on stands (speaking){1}.
- CAVI Inscriptions: B: to the right of the spectators from the top margin down: κάδος το̃ι
κυβιστι τοι{2}.
- CAVI Footnotes: {1} Shapiro thinks that B shows a Panathenaic agon of an unknown kind. {2}
CVA reads the first word καλῶς, but the third letter is not a lambda. The photo
shows it to be similar to a triangular alpha (S 2 on the chart in AttScr), but
with the diagonal extending a bit further down. Is there no repainting?
Kretschmer read καλῶς τῷ κυβιστῇ τοι, explaining that κυβιστής = κυβιστητής (see
also LSJ). καδος was de Witte's reading. Shapiro reads: καλος το̃ι κυβιστε̅το̃ι,
`Good for the tumbler', meaning I think καλῶς. The inscription appears to be
issuing from the mouths of the spectators.
- CAVI Comments: For the acrobat (κυβιστης) on B, see: Simon (1978), 68. N. Reed, `The
Euandria Competition at the Panathenaia Reconsidered,' Ancient World 15 (1987)
59-64. Shapiro (1989), 33 tentatively accepts the term apobates. For kados see
Scheibler, Sparkes–Talcott (1970), 7 and 201 n. 1, and Johnston (1979), 228,
under 12F. For kados see Scheibler; also the cooking pot, Ceramicus and the BF
amphora, Swiss Private.
