CAVI Collection: Athens, N.M. 2414-2417. New version, after Mommsen.
CAVI Lemma: Frs. of BF funerary plaque. From Athens, Aghia Triada (near) (Mommsen, 62).
Exekias. Third quarter sixth. 540-530 (Boardman).
CAVI Subject: Funeral scene. Inscribed is only Athens, N.M. 2414: part of a plaque with
quadriga: at left, bird to right; top of head of woman to right; neck of white
horse to right.
CAVI Inscriptions: Athens, N.M. 2414: above the woman's head, and to right of the bird,
diagonally upward: [--]αριτα[--]/[Χ]αριτα[ιος]?
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Collignon-Couve suggested restoring [Χ]αριτα[ιος], known as the name of a
contemporary potter (cf. ABV 161). LGPN ii 1 lists ABV 161 and this plaque both
for the potter, but ABV does not make the combination. In JHS Beazley says:
Pollak suggested the potter Charitaios, but was shown wrong by Pfuhl. Boardman
60 rightly says it should be the name of the woman or a horse. - LGPN ii lists
the ff. women's names: Χαριτα (Roman imperial); Χαριτη (iv B.C.); Χαριτιανη
(inc.); Χαριτιον (100 B.C.); Χαριτω (iv B.C.). So [Χ]αριτα or [Χ]αριτα[ια]?
CAVI Comments: Pollak suggested the potter Charitaios, but was shown wrong by Pfuhl
(Beazley). Four frs., of which only the first (2414) preserves an inscription.
Mommsen 47: this is the only parallel for the quadriga procession on the Berlin
series; 63 gives the reasons why M., following Boardman, considers these frs. to
be from a different series: different find spot; different height of reserved
strip above maeander; 2414 does not fit into Berlin series because of the
direction of th maeander.
