CAVI Lemma: RF pelike. From Nola. Aison. Last quarter fifth. 420-410.
CAVI Subject: A: a seated youth and a woman. Böhr thinks a woman welcomes the return of the
seated youth with a libation (phiale). Beazley: Arrival of a Youth. B: a youth.
CAVI Inscriptions: Under one handle, Gr. before firing and under the glaze: Nεαιρα.
CAVI Comments: = inv. 679. "Restored, especially B," Beazley. Neaira: the vase is not listed
in LGPN ii. There are many mythical figures by this name (see Pape); or is it a
hetaera earlier than the famous one of [Dem.] 59? CVA, p. 35. The vase was
perhaps commissioned for an earlier hetaera, since the inscription was incised
before firing. Or perhaps a casual Gr.
