CAVI Lemma: Frs. of BF hydria. Leagros Group. Last quarter sixth. 520-510.
CAVI Subject: Body: sphinx seated on top of a column; below, heads of anxious men (Thebans).
CAVI Inscriptions: Body: numerous inscriptions, two of which (and perhaps a third, which is a bit farther away) running from the mouth of the sphinx in straight lines; they seem to be nonsense, but see below. There is also a bit of a vertical nonsense (imitation) inscription above the head of one human.
CAVI Comments: Vollkommer says: "Auf dem genannten Fragment ist das Raten besonders eindringlich wiedergegeben durch die Worte und Sätze, die über das ganze Bild hinweg zerstreut sind."
