CAVI Lemma: Fragmentary WG cup. From Athens. Unattributed. First quarter fifth. Before
480.
CAVI Subject: Int.: youth tuning his lyre; hare. Ext. plain.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: on WG, on a band separated from the scene by a line in dilute glaze,
starting ca. 9 o'clock on the dial (probably taking up 1/2 circumference), in
BG: [Ε]ρινος ^ κ[αλος]{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Beazley in AJA: Earinos occurs in Martial 9.11-13; ςειαρινος /ϝειαρινος
at Thespiae (Bechtel, Frauennamen 44/3729). Talcott had conjectured [Φ]ρυνος
with iota for upsilon, saying only one letter is missing. For the adj. εαρινος
see LSJ and add the Sappho ostracon, PLF, Sappho fr. 2, line 10(?).
CAVI Comments: Robertson thinks the vase could be from the Persian fill in the Agora,
although others doubt it can be so early. Mertens (1974), 101-103, fig. 23,
attributes it to Douris, which R. finds difficult to accept; in AWG (1977) 186,
pl. 34,1 she is less sure. B.-O. also does not accept the attribution to Douris.
See also her Douris (U of Mich microfilms 1976) 216-220 and cf. Wehgartner. -
The words slightly separated. Tailed rho. Four-stroke sigma.
