CAVI Lemma: Fr. of BF hydria. Unattributed. Third quarter sixth. 550-530.
CAVI Subject: Middle portions of Hermes and a female; at right, legs of a horse (whence
Watzinger's chariot, not mentioned by Burow).
CAVI Inscriptions: To right of Hermes' loins: hερμ[ες]. To right of the female's lower right
(she faces right): [--]ια vacat 1 before the break. Burow says either [Αθενα]ια
or [Μα]ια. He does not have the first alpha given by Watzinger (...αια); the
area is dirty. It is true that there probably is not enough space for [Αθενα]
below the figure's hands, hence Maia is perhaps preferable. I had read
[Αθεν]α̣ια(.){1}. Both inscriptions face the figures.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} but I was not certain that this is the name of Athena and the trace of a
letter at the end is bothersome, unless the name is in the genitive. Beazley
says Athena; see also Watzinger who puts a question mark. But it is probably
best to read [Μ]αια.
