CAVI Lemma: PLAIN HYDRIA. FROM ATHENS. UNATTRIBUTED. LATE SIXTH (LANG). 520-480
(CONTEXT).
CAVI Subject: UNDECORATED.
CAVI Inscriptions: AROUND THE TOP OF THE RIM, GR.: Τιτας Ολυ[ν]πιον̣[ι]κ̣ος καταπυγον̣.
CAVI Comments: FOR THE ACCURACY OF LANG (1976), PL. 4, SEE IMMERWAHR (1982), 61, N. 13. THE
LETTERS ν̣[ι]κ̣ ARE QUITE UNCERTAIN. VOX SUGGESTS τιτας Ολυ[ν]πιοδ̣[ο]ρ̣ος
καταπυγον AND INTERPRETS τιτας AS `PAEDERAST'. BUT THE WORD ORDER WOULD BE ODD.
SEE FURTHER, IMMERWAHR (1982). THREATTE (1996), 15, AFTER EXAMINATION OF THE
VASE, INCLINES TO LANG'S READING; HE SAYS THAT THE DR. IN LANG (1976) IS
COMPLETELY MISLEADING ALTHOUGH THE AGORA FILE CARD HAS AN ACCURATE DR.; SEE
FURTHER FOR DISCUSSION OF THE INDIVIDUAL LETTERS. ON PP. 67-68, T. DISCUSSES THE
NAME Τιτας WHICH NEED NOT BE ATHENIAN; THE GEN. Τιτα IS FOUND IN TWO SICILIAN
INSCRIPTIONS.
