CAVI Lemma: RF neck amphora. Manner of Euphronios (Beazley); Euphronios (Ohly-Dumm). Last
quarter sixth. 510-500.
CAVI Subject: A: a Scythian archer. B: head and hand of a Scythian archer holding an
arrow{1}.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: from the forehead, not facing the figure: [Π]αντοχσενος{2}. B: parallel to
the arrow held in the archer's left hand: Ευ[φ]ρονιος{3}. Above his headdress:
[---]υς{4}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Formerly identified as Amazons, but see Vos (1963), 26. Bothmer has since
found an indication of a beard on A, which confirms the identification as an
archer. The figure on B is not sufficiently preserved and is identified by
analogy to A. {2} In Immerwahr (1964a) I suggested [Π]αντοχσενος, but Bothmer
showed that no letter was written before the alpha. Antoxenos: A. Corey, De
Amazonum antiquissimis figuris (Berlin 1891) 55 interpreted the inscription as a
signature. Hartwig (1893), 152f.: exclamation not referring to any figures
depicted. But I think it should refer to the figure. [LGPN ii lists Αντοξενος
with my suggestion, but not Παντοξενος.] Antoxenos makes no sense to me unless
it is miswritten, and while Pantoxenos is apparently not found, Pantoxena is
known. {2} "there may have been more," ARV[2]. Ευ[φ]ρονιος [εγραφσεν],
Ohly-Dumm. Cf. AttScr: the vase should be painted by Euphronios. {3} read by
Bothmer. The archer's name, as on A.
CAVI Comments: Small letters (late).
