CAVI Lemma: RF SKYPHOS. GROUP OF NAPLES 3067. THIRD QUARTER FIFTH. CA. 460 (BIELEFELD).
CAVI Subject: ATHLETES: A, B, EACH: NUDE YOUTH WITH STRIGIL BEFORE A PILLAR. THAT ON A
FACES RIGHT, WHILE THAT ON B TURNS BACK AS IF GESTICULATING TO THE YOUTH ON A.
CAVI Inscriptions: A, B, EACH: κακος{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} THE INSCRIPTION ON B SHOWS IN PL. 76,4: LOCATED BETWEEN HIS LEFT THIGH
AND THE PILLAR, DOWNWARD AND FACING THE YOUTH. THE LETTERS ARE VERY SMALL BUT
THE THIRD LETTER IS DEFINITELY NOT A LAMBDA; IT LOOKS LIKE AN ANGULAR DISJOINTED
KAPPA. BUT I AM NOT SURE THAT THE IUNSCRIPTION κακος IS FOUND ELSEWHERE. COULD
THE INSCRIPTION BE RETOUCHED OR EVEN FALSE? THE POSITION IS VERY UNUSUAL. THE
OPPOSITE OF καλος IS καταπυγων.
CAVI Comments: B. SAYS κακος OCCCURS ON BOTH SIDES AND HE REFERS TO AEM 18 (1895) 13/1 AND
KLEIN (1898), 169 ON FIG. 46.
CAVI Number: 0116
