CAVI Lemma: RF cup. From Vulci. Unattributed{1}. Pamphaios, potter. Last quarter sixth.
CAVI Subject: Int.: warrior. Ext.: between pegasi: A: Dionysus between two satyrs. B:
maenad between two satyrs.
CAVI Inscriptions: Nonsense: litter of letters: Int.: starting to left of the warrior's head and
following the margin: νσοσ^υ̣εσεε^ε(σ)εσ^νοσε[1-2]{2}. In the field: χ(α)σν.
Single letters: ο ν 9. h ο ε φ. A and B: similar. Frequent are: εσε, εον, and
combinations. Under the left pegasus, horizontal: ον(φ)σε. On the reserved foot
profile, in BG: Παν(φ)αιος εποιεσεν. Under the foot, Gr.: ΣΕ, retr.{3}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} "...very like the roughest cups of the Nikosthenes Painter, such as
London E 14." "The same litter of letters as in London E 14 and E 815." (ARV[2]
130.) {2} this looks a bit like mocking the signature of Nikosthenes. C. Smith
thinks the litter of letters is taken from the signature. {3} not in Johnston
(1979), or Hackl. Perhaps an owner's Gr. (since it is Attic, with three-stroke
sigma)?
CAVI Comments: All sigmas reversed and many sideways. The letter marked 9 looks like a
schwa, but is no doubt a miswritten omicron. Phi with diagonal or with
horizontal hasta.
CAVI Number: 4426
