CAVI Lemma: BF neck amphora. From Vulci. Leagros Group (Painter of Oxford 569). Last
quarter sixth. 510-500 (Vos).
CAVI Subject: A: Aeneas carrying Anchises; at left, Ascanius, naked, follows; at right,
Creusa precedes. B: Dionysus with a kantharos between two maenads.
CAVI Inscriptions: Nonsense: A: between Aeneas' legs: χγ(.)ι{1}. Between the lower bodies of
Aeneas and Creusa: (μ)χεδ(.)ιοδε{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the third letter is clearly in the shape of a numeral `6' with the
vertical straight; it could be a sloppy omicron. The second letter wrongly
appears as Ionic gamma in the facs. {2} the fifth letter is of the same shape as
the third letter in the previous inscription, which is not uncommon in Leagran
nonsense. The mu is upside down.
CAVI Comments: Large letters; typical Leagran nonsense.
