CAVI Lemma: BF olpe (oinochoe). From Vulci. Unattributed. Last quarter sixth.
CAVI Subject: Apollo and 3 Muses.
CAVI Inscriptions: To left of the two women at left: nonsense: οι(σ)τοhε. On their right:
(σ)ιοετσ. Above the heads of the figures, in the upper left: νεοτλοευ. To lower
right of the woman at right: Ευφιλετος. Between her and Apollo's)legs: καλε.
CAVI Comments: One wonders if the two sense inscriptions are by the same hand as the
nonsense. I take καλε to refer to the Muse at right; I do not take it as a
vocative to go with the name. Beazley in ABV 667 says: "Ευφιλετος, with καλε and
meaningless inscriptions." Three-stroke sigma in sense and sideways sigmas in
nonsense; the latter might possibly be nu's.
