Publication Record: Hoorn, G. van, Choes and Anthesteria (Leiden, 1951): FIG.380, NO.181 The Athenian Agora, Results of Excavations conducted by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens: 30, PL.71.667
CAVI Lemma: FR. OF RF OINOCHOE (CHOUS). FROM ATHENS, AGORA D 11. UNATTRIBUTED. LATE FIFTH
(VAN HOORN, MOORE).
CAVI Subject: HEAD, SHOULDERS AND START OF OUTSTRETCHED ARM OF WREATHED YOUTH TO RIGHT.
CAVI Inscriptions: NONSENSE. GROUPS OF LETTERS, ABOVE THE HEAD, HORIZONTAL, IN WHITE: λα. λκ.
λη(?)/[--](α)(ρ)[--]{1}. L] IONIC? (THE LAMBDA IS.)
CAVI Footnotes: {1} SO APPARENTLY THE PH. IN MOORE (1997), PL. 71, BUT THE LETTERS ARE
UNCLEAR: THE ALPHA MAY BE A GAMMA AND THE RHO IS SMUDGED; IF A RHO, IT WOULD BE
TAILED RHO WITH A ROUND HEAD. VAN HOORN'S READING IS IMPOSSIBLE AS THERE ARE
PROBABLY ONLY TWO LETTERS ON THE FR. (UNLESS A DOT NEAR THE LEFT-HAND BREAK IS
PART OF ANOTHER LETTER); HIS λα, λκ, λη(?) MUST BE POSSIBLE READINGS OF THE TWO
EXTANT LETTERS. MY EARLIER READING FROM VAN HOORN'S PH., `λκ', IS CERTAINLY
POSSIBLE, THE PHOTO SHOWS λκ ABOVE THE HEAD.. THE SKETCH ON MOORE'S P. 237 IS
ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT AND DOES NOT JIVE WITH THE PH.: [--](.)ς. (.) IS DRAWN AS
THE BOTTOM OF A DIAGONAL LINE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT.
CAVI Comments: INSCRIPTION IN WHITE.
CAVI Number: 0370
