Publication Record: Ashmolean Museum, Exhibition of Antiquities and Coins Purchased from the Collection of the Late Captain E.G. Spencer-Churchill, 11th-23rd October 1965: PL.6.51 (I, A) Beazley, J.D., Paralipomena (Oxford, 1971): 23 Bulletin van de Vereeniging tot Bevordering der Kennis van de Antieke Beschaving: 72 (1997) 27, FIGS.8A-B (A, PROFILE) Carpenter, T.H., with Mannack, T. and Mendonca, M., Beazley Addenda, 2nd edition (Oxford, 1989): 15
CAVI Inscriptions: Handle zone: A: χαιρην και πριο μην{2}. B: the same.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} almost a normal lip cup. {2} In AJA 54 Beazley appears to print χαιρε και
πριω με. The correct reading is in JHS 52 (1932) 182. That in AJA must be
explanatory.
CAVI Comments: Ex Northwick Park, Spencer-Churchill. Beazley gives parallels in AJA 39; see
also Immerwahr (1964) and Blatter. The same wording, with the peculiar eta's and
the `infinitive' ending, on Copenhagen, NM 169, C. Blinkenberg and K. Friis
Johansen, CVA Copenhagen 3, Denmark 3 (1928), pl. 117,5. The reading could be
πριομην. In either case, it is badly miswritten. πριο is for πριω, `buy'. `Hail
thee and buy me.' Open eta with second vertical shorter in 1-2 cases. - Threatte
(1980), 38 reads the eta = short epsilon and prints: Χαιρη{ν} (for χαιρε) and
με{ν}. But it is surely miswritten. [[Diameter: 200 (Brijder).]]
