CAVI Lemma: Fr. of BF pot{1}. From Athens. Unattributed. Date unclear.
CAVI Subject: Part of a foot race: upper bodies of man and youth running.
CAVI Inscriptions: To right of of man's back of head: Φαλ[--]{2}. To right of man's arm and
behind his back: [--]νελος[--], retr.{3}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} small thick-walled `Kugelgefass,' (Graef–Langlotz) unglazed inside; of
uncertain shape (Beazley). {2} Surface flaked off for one letter space before
the break. {3} so Beazley. Graef–Langlotz reads: Ὀνελος - not certain (though
probable) that omicron is the first letter; Graef–Langlotz says that Ονελος is
not known and reads (with upside-down gamma):Ονεγος, `donkey-driver.' (Why the
capital letter? A name?). Beazley rejects Langlotz' ονεγος, since the fourth
letter must be lambda, not gamma. "There is incision in what Langlotz takes to
be an omicron at the beginning, and I did not feel certain that it was a letter
at all ..."
CAVI Comments: These should be the names of runners.
CAVI Number: 1152
