CAVI Lemma: FR. OF RF SKYPHOS. FROM GELA. UNATTRIBUTED. SECOND QUARTER

CAVI Subject: A: DEATH OF HIPPARCHOS (STORY OF TYRANNICIDES): A RAISED
ARM HOLDING [A SWORD] ABOVE THE HEAD; AT LEFT, A BEARDED
MAN.
CAVI Inscriptions: ABOVE THE BEARDED MAN: [B] Ιππ(α)(ρ)χος[/B]. ABOVE THE OTHER FIGURE:
[B] [Αρμ]οδιος[/B].(1)
CAVI Footnotes: (1)ORSI GIVES THE INSCRIPTIONS IN THE IONIC ALPHABET, BUT
I AM NOT SURE THAT THIS IS RIGHT.
CAVI Comments: ORSI THINKS ANOTHER RF SKYPHOS FR., ALSO FROM GELA, NSC
1900, 276/(D), Q.V., MAY BELONG, BUT THE SUBJECT IS
EVIDENTLY DIFFERENT AND (ACCORDING TO WEBSTER) BEAZLEY DOES
NOT CONNECT THE TWO FRS.; IT COULD OF COURSE BE FROM THE
OTHER SIDE. WEBSTER THINKS THE FOUR REPRESENTATIONS OF THE
MURDER OF HIPPARCHUS, BEING ALL OF 475-460, ARE REFLECTIONS
OF THE POST-PERSIAN GROUP OF THE TYRANNICIDES BY CRITIAS
AND NESIOTES. - NOW IN PALERMO?
