CAVI Collection: Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum 589.
CAVI Lemma: RF skyphos (glaux). Unattributed. First quarter fifth. Not earlier than 480
(Eichler).
CAVI Subject: A, B, ech: an owl between two olive branches.
CAVI Inscriptions: Under the foot: ΣΟ and ΔΓΙΙΙ{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Johnston says that SO is a Dip. and is followed by acrophonic numerals
adding up to 18 [i.e. the fourth letter is a pi not Ionic gamma]; he rejects
Eichler's interpretation of SO = σ[κυφ]ο[ι] and of the numbers as a price. He
lists parallels for numerals on glaukes in n. 7; they may always add up to
multiples of 6.
CAVI Comments: Eichler reads: 10 skyphoi for 1 dr. 3 obols, but Johnston (see below) rightly
objects. The reading should be: ΣΟ ΔΠΙΙΙ = 18. A batch notation.
CAVI Number: 7906
