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.
