CAVI Lemma: RF column krater. Unattributed. First quarter fifth. Ca. 480 (CVA).
CAVI Subject: A: dithyrambic or tragic chorus? Six youths in pairs of two, moving to left
with outstretched arms; at left, an altar and behind it, the upper part of a
bearded man, singing. B: two satyrs dancing around a large volute krater.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: on the middle step of the altar, interrupted by the front youths' forward
legs, hasty: (κ)(α)^(λ)(ο)[ς]{1}. To right of the bearded man's open mouth:
φε(.)σεο{2}. Under the raised arms of the first pair, facing the figures:
αοοι(ο), retr.{3}. B: on the reserved neck of the krater: καλ[ος].
CAVI Footnotes: {1} CVA has the last letter as [ς], but there is not room. {2} the third
letter is a dot in the facs., not visible in the photo. Nonsense or miswritten?
{3} the last letter open at the bottom and more like a narrow pi with equal
verticals. Nonsense.
CAVI Comments: Unusual mixture of sense and nonsense. Are the two inscriptions attached to
figures representing their songs?
