CAVI Lemma: RF BELL KRATER. FROM SORRENTO. LYKAON PAINTER. THIRD QUARTER FIFTH.
CAVI Subject: A: SYMPOSIUM WITH PYRRHICHE: AT LEFT, A COUCH WITH A BEARDED MAN AND A YOUTH;
AT RIGHT, A COUCH WITH TWO YOUTHS, THAT ON THE RIGHT PLAYING THE FLUTES; IN THE
CENTER, IN FRONT, AN ARMED DANCER. B: KOMOS.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: THE INSCRIPTIONS ABOVE THE HEADS: THE BEARDED MAN: Ευαινετος. A YOUTH ON
THE SAME COUCH: καλος. THE GIRL: Παρ[1-2]ιστε{1}. THE THIRD SYMPOSIAST, BEARDED:
Καλλιας{2}. ABOVE THE YOUTH ACOMPANYING THE GIRL WITH THE FLUTES, SLIGHTLY
CURVED: Ευαιον.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} SO BEAZLEY IN CB: THE THIRD LETTER "IS MORE LIKE A RHO THAN ANYTHING
ELSE; THERE IS ROOM FOR ONE LETTER, POSSIBLY TWO, BETWEEN IT AND THE IOTA. THE
NAME OUGHT TO BE PANTARISTE, BUT IF SO THE PAINTER HAS MISWRITTEN IT..." I READ
IN THE PHOTO.: Παν[..]ιστε, WHICH DOES NOT GIVE ENOUGH SPACE FOR THE NAME
WITHOUT A MISTAKE BY THE PAINTER. MATHESON PRINTS Γαλ[...]ιστε, BUT I DO NOT
KNOW WHETHER THE FIRST LETTER IS INTENDED FOR A GAMMA OR A PI. M. ALSO PRINTS
Ευαι[ο]ν καλος, IN ERROR. EUAION IS HERE WITHOUT KALOS. {2} BEAZLEY SAYS A
YOUTH: MY ERROR? A VACAT AFTER THE FIRST LETTER.
CAVI Comments: THERE IS MUCH ON EUAION IN CB: HE IS HERE DEPICTED AS A PORTRAIT WITH HIS
FRIENDS.
