CAVI Lemma: BF/WG lekythos. From Attica. Diosphos Painter. First quarter fifth. 500-490 (Turnbull).
CAVI Subject: Iris and Hermes conversing.
CAVI Inscriptions: Nonsense: to right of Iris' head: (.)υχ{1}. To right of Hermes' upper body: χχ(.)χγχ. To right of his lower body: (.)(τ)ιχσ{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the first letter resembles an arrow pointing upward. {2} The readings are from the photo, which is not very clear.
CAVI Comments: Ex Baltimore, D.M. Robinson. Turnbull characterizes the inscriptions as follows: "The `inscriptions' are nonsense, strings of T's and X's used simply to break up the space around the figures and make a pattern that links them visually to the intricate arrangement of palmettes on either side."
