CAVI Lemma: RF cup{1}. Nikosthenes Painter. Last quarter sixth.
CAVI Subject: Int.: komast. A: warriors and horsemen. B: youths with horses.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: nonsense: around the tondo: at left: νσhοσε. At right: νοσε{2}. A: on
one shield: device, a raven, and: ο(σ)ο(.){3}. On the other shield: device, a
crowing rooster and an illegible inscription.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the foot is missing (see above). {2} Pottier gives: nonsense: [--]γος
νσhοσε. He thought that the intention may have been to write: [hισχυ]λος
εποιεσε, whence he suggests Hischylos as a supplement for Louvre G 4 also.
Beazley says (without giving a text): "The inscriptions are meaningless." {3}
the sigma is z-shaped (facs.); the last letter is a blob.
CAVI Comments: Pottier's supplement of Hischylos (see below) is clearly wrong. Nevertheless,
the first word looks like an illiterate attempt of writing εποιεσεν. It calls to
mind London B 209, by Exekias, with the inscriptions Αμασις and ΑΟΙΗΣN (Attic
sigma); see AttScr (1990), no. 134. However, the imitation of epoiesen may have
to be abandoned if Giroux is right (in CVA, France 28) in suggesting that the
cup may be by Pamphaios and the foot fr., Louvre Cp 11,254 [q.v.], signed
Pamphaios, may be its foot; a less likely possibility is to connect the foot
with Louvre G 69, q.v.
