CAVI Lemma: Frs. of RF hydria{1}. Polygnotos. Third quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: A: upper row: Achilles pursuing Troilos. Lower row: Centauromachy: fr. a: the
rightmost figure, a young warrior. Fr. b: upper half of a centaur.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: lower row: to the centaur's right, a two-liner: κα[λος] | Πετ̣[εος]{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} two-row. {2} Beazley's suggestion, in AJΑ: if καλος is correctly
restored, the next word is hardly Πετραιος, a centaur name; the third letter of
the name can be epsilon, zeta, chi, or tau, whence Πετ̣[--] is almost certain.
Beazley gives parallels for mythical kalos-names.
CAVI Comments: Two frs. Peteos was the father of Menestheus, not previously known to have
participated in the battle of Lapiths and Centaurs (Beazley).
