CAVI Lemma: Fr. of BF band cup. From Samos? Unattributed. Third quarter sixth.
CAVI Subject: A: handle zone: upper part of an animal; tail of another(?).
CAVI Inscriptions: A: handle zone: above the animal's back: nonsense: δεσδσευ. Between the
animals, downward: τε[--].
CAVI Comments: In a letter of 15 March 1978, Gerhard Schmidt refers to this fr.: a lion is
attacking a stag. Beside the stag: δεσδιε(ν) [reversed nu], which he interprets
as δειδιεν, `er hat Angst.' It is more likely nonsense.
