CAVI Lemma: Fragmentary RF cup. From Orvieto. Colmar Painter. Early fifth. Very early
(Beazley){1}.
CAVI Subject: Int.: a naked youth crouches before a large column krater at the left and
ladles from it while holding a drinking horn in his left hand. Ext.: symposium:
three reclining figures on each side: A: a youth; a basket hung up; a bearded
man; a male. B: a male; a bearded man; a youth.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: to left of the youth's face: καλος, retr. By the lower body: Λ[εαγρο]ς.
I.e., καλος | Λ[εαγρο]ς. A: at the level of the head: [Λ]εακρος{2}. Probably
continuing: [καλο]ς. B: on both sides of the man's head: [(?)Αντ]ιας.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Schwarz thinks the cup not early but dates it ca. 500. {2} so Beazley; I
read the kappa as a lambda, but Beazley is no doubt right. Schwarz has: from the
head of the youth at left: [Λ]εακρος [καλο]ς.
CAVI Comments: Int.: the object in the hand of the boy, which mostly disappears into the
krater, does not look like part of an oinochoe, rather like a cloth or sponge.
Antias appears i.a. on two other cups by the Colmar Painter.
