  • CAVI Collection: St. Petersburg inv. 5577.
  • CAVI Lemma: RF Nolan amphora Nikon Painter{1}. Second quarter fifth.
  • CAVI Subject: A: Gigantomachy: Dionysus and a giant. B: a youth.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: A: between the heads: καλος. Similar, at knee height: Χσ(α)νθες{2}. Under the foot, Gr.: ΦΙΚ{3}.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} said to be dubious in Para. {2} after ARV[2]. {3} a circular phi.
  • CAVI Comments: KAV's facs. has Χσανθιες, but the ph. does not show an iota; it must be an error. This is LGPN ii, s.v. 3. Φικ[] is listed in Johnston (1979), as ΦΙ plus Κ. Φι[] should be a proper name. One alpha lacks the cross stroke.
