CAVI Lemma: BF lip cup. From Vulci. Unattributed. Third quarter sixth.
CAVI Subject: Int.: siren; below, a plant motif. Lip: [[surely not lip!]] A-B: sirens
replacing handle palmettes.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: above the siren's left wing, starting to left of the (lost) head and
curving downward following the margin: εποιhεποι, retr. To left of mid-body,
somewhat downward and slightly curved: ει[..](σ)ε(.)ιγ, retr. (The 7th letter a
near-rectangular blob.)(1) Handle zone: A: hιπ[π]οτελε[ς] καλοσε̣ν{2}. B:
hιπ[π]οκιμενος εαιοι{3}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the two inscriptions together could be an imitation of a signature. Or
the first inscription on the Int. may be an attempt to write a signature
(Fellmann). {2} so CVA and KdS; Beazley read hιποτελεκαλος, wrongly. Hippoteles
is apparently found only here. {3} KdS, p. 94, says that all letters after hιπο-
are meaningless; a name Hippokeimenos is not found in PA, Pape or LGPN ii. [[A:
wieder ein bekräftigendes ἦν am Schluss]]
CAVI Comments: The inscriptions apparently by a semi-literate: see CVA, and KdS. Fig. 11.10b
in KdS is a photo of the `Hipoteles' inscription. LGPN ii lists Hippoteles only
from ABV 668. V. & K. compare Munich 2136.
