CAVI Lemma: Frs. of BF hydria. From Athens. Unattributed. Last third sixth.
CAVI Subject: Women at the fountain.
CAVI Inscriptions: Fr. a: to left of fountain house column (at left): Καλ[λ]ιρ[ρ]οε. Between
first and second woman: ΕΓανθις{1}. Between second and third: Γλυκε. Between
third and fourth: Ρο[δ--]. Fr. b: over head and bust of rightmost woman:
Καλ[λ]ις, retr.{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} see Peek: no letter was written before the epsilon; the second letter is
a pointed (half-arrow) gamma; Μελανθις is excluded, Ε(ρ)ανθις unlikely; perhaps
the second letter is upside down, Ε(υ)ανθις? Clearly miswritten. {2} Peek reads
Καλισ[τε] (the vase breaks right after the sigma), but see Beazley's parallels,
ABV 677.
CAVI Comments: Frs. a-c. Kallirhoe is also found on the fountain hydria London B 331, ABV
261.41, manner of the Lysippides Painter. The names apparently written on the
figures' right, regardless of which way they are facing. - AM, loc. cit., points
out that [London B 331] is very similar except for the inscriptions and gives
readings: Καλιροε. Επανθις. Γλυκε̣, retr. Πο[--].
