CAVI Lemma: RF column krater. Painter of London E 488 (Later Mannerists I). Third quarter
fifth. Ca. 430.
CAVI Subject: A: komos. B: komos.
CAVI Inscriptions: Under the foot, Grr.: on one side: Κωρινθιοι. On the other side, in two
lines: σύμμικτ' ἔνεστι πάντα | καὶ κωθώνια{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} a line is drawn across the foot. {2} Beazley translates: `This is all a
mixed lot, including cothons.' Johnston, p. 232 suggests that the writer is an
Athenian, since he is not familiar with omega. Omega is used both for omicron
and for omega.
CAVI Comments: συμμικτα is abbreviated on Louvre G 356 and Munich 1464 (Hackl (1909), pl. 2,
no. 575). Κορινθιοι, sc. κρητηρες, is the name for column kraters. Note the
Iambic trimeter. For κωθων see Johnston (1979), p. 231 with nn. 2 and 3 (one
shape is the mug). Threatte (1996), 688 thinks Κορινθιοι may be part of the
metrical inscription.
