CAVI Lemma: FR. FROM FOOT OF LARGE PLATE WITH RING FOOT. FROM GELA, POZZO DEL PURGATORIO.
UNATTRIBUTED. DATE UNCLEAR.
CAVI Subject: NO FIGURED DECORATION PRESERVED.
CAVI Inscriptions: ON A RED CIRCLE, GR.: [μ]νήσομαι Nικασιην ὑπὸ γαί[ας].
CAVI Comments: THE VASE IS ATTIC (ORSI). ORSI TAKES THE NAME TO BE Nικα (GEN. Nικας) AND
DECLARES THE REST OF THE NAME TO BE OBSCURE. I WOULD PREFER Nικασίη, BUT THE
ACC. PRESENTS A PROBLEM. THE INSCRIPTION IS FUNERARY WITH A POETIC PHRASE. ORSI
CONSIDERED THE INSCRIPTION GENUINE, BUT REPORTED IT TOGETHER WITH FORGERIES.
CAVI Number: 7876
