CAVI Lemma: BF lip cup. From Capua{1}. Unattributed. Third quarter sixth. 540-530.
CAVI Subject: Int.: siren. A-B: plain.
CAVI Inscriptions: Handle zone, much worn: A: Τ̣λ[ε]σο[ν h]ο Nεαρχο εποιεσε{2}. B: similar{2}.
Under the foot, Gr. in large letters: Nίκα Αφροδιτη{3}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} CVA; from Capua? ABV. {2} apparently no final nu, although CVA gives it
in the text. BM Cat. agrees with me. {3} CVA reads Nικᾷ Αφροδιτη, but there is
no room for an iota adscript. This is clearly not Attic; is it ancient?
CAVI Comments: Beazley in ABV: "the drawing is not by the Tleson Painter; the inscriptions
may be by the same hand as usual, but they are damaged, and one cannot be sure."
The probable omission of final nu argues against the inscriptions being by the
hand of the Tleson Painter.@@[[Diameter: 220.]]
