CAVI Lemma: RF pyxis with lid. From Athens, tomb in Aeolus Street. Calliope Painter. Last quarter fifth. 425-420 (Lezzi-Hafter).
CAVI Subject: The bride Thetis seated to left, surrounded by nereids with gifts{1}.
CAVI Inscriptions: Body: Θεω. Αυρα. Χρυσεις. Γαλενε. Αλεξο. Ψαμαθε. Θετις{2}. Ευλ[ιμενε]. [Γλ]α̣υ̣κε. Κυμοδο̣{δο}κε{3}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} ARV[2] 1707: Thetis and her sister Nereids. {2} BCH says Thetis, the ph. shows [.]ετις. {3} so L.-H. P. 250 shows that this is the writing on the vase. Meant for Κυματοδοκε(?). BCH also says: Γαληνη. Γλαυκη. Κυμοθοη. Μελιτη. I do not know how reliable these readings are.
CAVI Comments: L.-H. 249 thinks the scene are the Epaulia of the Wedding of Peleus and Thetis. - Mixed alphabet. Xi 1 with vertical extending above and below the horizontals if L.-H.'s rendering in cat. is correct.
