CAVI Lemma: Fr. from rim of BG skyphos. From Athens. Unattributed. Date unclear.
CAVI Subject: Undecorated.
CAVI Inscriptions: Gr., in two lines: [--- με]δεοσει [α]πα[ρχεν]. [--- εποιεσ]ε̣ και
[ανεθεκε](?){1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Klaffenbach thought of με]δεṓσε̅ι, Peek suggested the rough restorations;
I have made some changes.
CAVI Comments: A potter's dedication? - Peek restores line 1 as a dedicatory hexameter which
includes the phrase: πόλεος με]δεṓσει, but the phrase should be [Ἀθε̅νᾶ] Ἀθε̅νν
μεδεṓσε̅ι, which does not scan. His restoration of line 2 is also unlikely,
since it does not scan. - For μεδεṓσε̅ι cf. the Samian horoi with Ἀθηνᾶ Ἀθηνῶν
μεδέο̅σα (reff. in AttScr (1990), 137) and IG i/2. 14, lines 4-5.
