CAVI Lemma: BF Panathenaic amphora. From Vulci, Cavalupo. Unattributed. Ca. 500
(Hampe–Simon).
CAVI Subject: A: Athena to left between cock columns. B: chariot racing to right.
CAVI Inscriptions: B: to right of the charioteer's mouth, horizontal: εια[.]λα{1}. Under the
horses' bellies: Nικο(ν){2}. At the horses' right: (κ)αλο(ς), retr.{3}. Under
the foot: two Grr. and Dip. ΑΡ.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the second letter is not drawn as a partial lambda in the facs. in CVA,
although it nearly touches the break beneath it; the photo, however, seems to
show the vertical going right into the break, but the letters are very small.
Read: εια[ε]λα or ελ̣α [ε]λα(?). {3} the last nu is somewhat incomplete. {4} the
sigma is unclear.
CAVI Comments: Once Delessert 16. For Nikon see ARV[2] 1602. CVA reads ελα ελα; this is
already the reading of Gerhard (1830), 220 and Kretschmer (1894), 91. See
further, Hampe (1935–6), 295; differently Beazley (1929a), 361f. H&S cite as a
parallel for the shout a BF oinochoe Brussels R 323 [but the inscription there
is nonsense]. The vase is said in CVA to hold 22 liters. Clearly not a standard
Panathenaic.
