CAVI Lemma: BF amphora. Unattributed{1}. Last quarter sixth. 510-500.
CAVI Subject: A: the battle over the body of Achilles. B: Peleus and Thetis wrestling.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: Over Aeneas' head: Αινεας, retr. To left of Neoptolemos' face:
Nε[ο]πτολεμος, retr. Above a fallen warrior: N[..]ιριος, retr.{2}. To left of
Ajax' face (he carries the body of Achilles): Αιας, retr. Above the two:
Αχιλ[λ]εο(ς). Over Menelaus' helmet: Μενελεος. Above Paris' helmet: Παρις, retr.
An archer at right may be inscribed{3}. B: Under Chiron's horse-belly:
Πατροκ(λ)ια{4}. To right and above his head: Χιρον. To left of Peleus' legs:
Πελε[υ]ς, retr. To right of Thetis' elbow: Θετις. Behind Nereid's back:
(Π)οντ[ο]μεδ[ε]α. Under the foot, Dip: ΣΟ [[lig.]]. See Johnston (1979), 86/33A
16, who gives a different sign.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} close to Leagros Group, CVA, but not in Beazley. {2} CVA gives N.ιοιος,
but the omicron looks more like like a D-shaped rho. {3} I saw a stroke on his
right. {4} I do not understand this word. There is no second Nereid.
CAVI Comments: The bracketed letters are miswritten. The list of inscriptions is not
complete; there are some names so sloppily written that they resemble nonsense
inscriptions.
