CAVI Lemma: FRS. OF RF PYXIS. FROM ATHENS. UNATTRIBUTED. FIRST QUARTER FIFTH.
CAVI Subject: SANCTUARY: UNCERTAIN MOUND (HEROON? BEEHIVE?); FOUNTAIN; COLUMN; SEATED MAN
WITH STICK; ALTAR; AT RIGHT, LOWER PART OF A GODDESS ENTHRONED, MAKING LIBATION
OVER THE ALTAR.
CAVI Inscriptions: IN FRONT OF THE SEATED MAN: υι(?){1}. HORIZONTAL GR. ALONG THE BOTTOM OF THE
SCENE: [--- ελε]υθεριας κ̣αλο V. : σοφροσσυνεν ενι κλα[δοις σ]μιλα[κος ---]. TO
RIGHT OF THE MAN'S HEAD, THROUGH THE SCENE: [---]ν εχει[ς] στεφανον{2}.
GRAEF–LANGLOTZ'S READING FOLLOWS THE ORDER OF THE LINES, BUT MAKES LITTLE SENSE:
καλο]νεχειστεφανον ...ελε]υθεριας [κ]αλο : σοφροσσυνενενικλα μ(ι)λ(α) PEEK
THINKS THE INSCRIPTION BEGAN AT THE PUNCTUATION, CONTINUED AROUND THE WHOLE VASE
AND WENT ABOVE WHEN THE OMICRON OF καλον MET THE FIRST SIGMA OF σοφροσσυνεν [AT
WHICH MOMENT I THINK THE INTERPOINT WAS PLACED]. HENCE: σοφροσσυνεν ενι κλα[δοις
σ]μιλα̣[κος Hειμενος] [Στρομβιχε, ελε]υθεριας κ̣αλο:ν εχει[ς] στεφανον{3}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} NOT IN THE DR. {2} THIS LINE MUST BE BETWEEN THE HEADS OF THE MAN AND THE
GODDESS. {3} Στρομβιχε, PEEK EXEMPLI GRATIA.
CAVI Comments: FRS. A - C. I AGREE WITH PEEK'S RECONSTRUCTION; FOR THE INTERPOINT MARKING A
SHIFT OF LINE SEE ATTSCR (1990), 168.
