CAVI Lemma: RF hydria. From Vulci. Unattributed Pioneer. Last quarter sixth. 510-500.
CAVI Subject: Shoulder: a chariot, and warriors getting ready. Body: Dionysus with Ariadne;
Poseidon with Amphitrite; Hermes.
CAVI Inscriptions: Shoulder: to left of the left warrior's face, facing him: Χαρες, retr. To
right of a youth's face: Σοστρατο[ς], and below: χαιρε{1}. (ο)ασ{2}. Near an
archer: χαιρέτο̅(3) and Ευ(θ)υμίδες{4}. Body: hερμες, χα[ιρε]. Διονυ{5}.
Διο(ν)υσος. Ποσειδ[ον]{6}. Under the foot, Grr.: ΛΗ [[lig.]] and ΧΥΙ [the
upsilon is V-shaped, the iota in two lines] plus eta sideways and shaped like
`h'. Differently CVA.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Beazley takes the two words together. {2} nonsense; the first letter is a
round blob (ARV[2]). {3} the first four letters upside down (retr.). Cf. also
Threatte (1996), 460. {4} The letters Ευθ and ιδ are upside down (retr.) [so
after CVA]. {5} a false start (ARV[2]). {6} CVA gives an extra χαιρε on the
shoulder beneath the horses' bellies.
CAVI Comments: For parallels to the shape and style of the vase, see ARV[2], especially
Philadelphia Market + Florence1 B 15 and New York 21.88.2. Theta lacks the dot.
One nu is reversed.
CAVI Number: 6416
