CAVI Subject: Int.: youth with two spears(1) pursuing a fleeing woman; at right, an altar.
A, B, each: three pairs of satyr and maenad.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: two left-aligned stoich. two-liners: between tops of heads, bearing
slightly upward: hο παιν | καλον / hο παι(ς) | καλο(ς). To right of the youth's
upper right, diagonally downward, two-liner in oblique stoich.: hο παιν | καλον
/ hο παι(ς) | καλο(ς){2}. A: Hornbostel's text says, three kalos-inscriptions;
ph. shows one, horizontal, near each pair of figures. B: text says, three
inscriptions, ph. shows a few unclear traces. Inscriptions are probably all
left-aligned stoich. two-liners. I am not sure that all replace final sigmas
with nu's. D] All instances listed are left-aligned two-liners, some (but not
all) near-stoich. Mixed alphabet? Nu seems to replace all final sigmas that I
can see (sideways three-stroke sigma misunderstood?). The nu's are clearly found
on both inscriptions on the Int.; one inscription on A seems to have καλον also;
I cannot tell about the rest. But this is not the `upside down' four-stroke
sigma one sees on othervases by the Penthesilea Painter, but a substitution of
real nu's.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Theseus (Termer cat.). {2} this is the inscription of which there is an
enlarged detail on p. 127 in Hornbostel.
