CAVI Lemma: Frs. of RF cup. Onesimos. Euphronios, potter (?). First quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: Int.: a warrior? (Part of a shield and cloak){2}. A-B: Ajax and Tekmessa;
Ajax' slaughter of the cattle{3}.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: [Ευφρονιος εποι]εσεν{4}. A or B: Williams (1980): [Αγαμεμνο]ν(?)
Ευ[--]. [Ευφρο]νι[ιος εποιεσεν](?)(5) (But see below).
CAVI Footnotes: {1} erroneous interpretation as an athletic scene. {2} Williams (1980: 139)
suggests perhaps the armor of Achilles given to Neoptolemos as on the Douris
cup, Vienna 3695. {3} so Williams (1980), q.v. for details of the very scanty
frs. Beazley had suggested the Deeds of Theseus, with a query. {4} So CB; not
restored in ARV[2]. {5} Williams rejects the possible alternative: [---]ν vacat
Ευ[φρο]νι[ος εποιεσεν], on the grounds that Ευ[-- is too close to the handle to
be part of a potter's signature. He thus suggests heroic names; for Ευ[--:
Ευ[ρυπυλος] or Ευρυσακης (although he would be too young). --]νι[-- might be
[Τελαμο]νι[ος], but is more likely from a signature. However, in GVGettyMus he
says that that fr. (C 11,336) does not belong. AK, pl. 33,3 shows νι, pl. 33,4
shows --]ν vacat Ευ[--. The first nu has the typical Euphronian shape (see
Euphronios und seine Zeit (1992) 52): does this mean that this fr. is from a
vase painted by Euphronios?
CAVI Comments: 2 frs. + C 11,336 (1 fr., q.v.; the pertinence is uncertain; see below). +
New York 1977.192.3 (part ex Louvre C 11,342 (ARV[2] 327/97, Add.[2] (1989),
216); part ex Oxford, Private. + New York, Bothmer (2 frs.). Williams'
restorations are attractive since a painter's signature is unlikely (Onesimos'
signature occurs only once, on Louvre G 105).
