CAVI Lemma: Fr. of cup in Six' technique. From Athens. Unattributed. Sosimos, potter (?).
Late sixth or early fifth.
CAVI Subject: Int.: owl between two olive branches.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: around the picture, Gr. in a circle between two incised lines:
[Σοσιμ(?)]ος ανεθεκεν {.} απαρχεν [....].
CAVI Comments: The restoration of the potter's name was an idea of Luschey's who compared
two phiales in Six' technique and on whom Beazley reports without taking a
position; see ABV. There seems to be a gap of four letters, so the name Sosimos
would complete the circle. The dot after ανεθεκεν may be accidental.
