CAVI Collection: Paris, Louvre F 90.
CAVI Lemma: BF lip cup. From Vulci. Unattributed. Third quarter sixth. 550-530.
CAVI Subject: Lip: A: a man and a youth preparing a cockfight. B: the like.
CAVI Inscriptions: Handle zone: nonsense: A: (.)εχ(.)(ο)ϝτϝχεχοϝχεχοϝ(χ)ϝοεχε{1}. B: ϙυεχευγκκ(ϙ)ϝχϝχεκχϝχεχ̣(ν̣)κ̣χευα{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the reading is a combination of the photo with CVA, fig. 4: CVA, text gives 23 letters, Gerhard [see bibl. in CVA] had given 26. Not all letters are clear. {2} my reading.
CAVI Comments: B: large and very clear letters. Digamma may be for epsilon. One omicron on A looks like koppa with a very short foot; on B there are definitely two koppas. Pottier, in CVA, thinks the inscriptions may perhaps be imitation of the cackle of the hen. They have sometimes been explained as onomatopoeic: see CVA, Louvre 8, III H e, pl. 77,8, and Hampe (1935–6), 295/23. Neither explanation seems valid.
