CAVI Lemma: Fr. of RF cup. From Athens. Epiktetos. Last quarter sixth.
CAVI Subject: Int.: Minotaur.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: to right of his head: ενοες, for εποες?{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} επ̣οει, doubtful: the pi more like a nu, Beazley; ενοει, Graef–Langlotz.
The last letter smeared: it is more likely to be a sigma.
CAVI Comments: A very casual inscription. Epiktetos' vases always have εποιεσεν or εποιεσε,
except for the calyx krater in Villa Giulia (ARV[2] 77/90), which has the
incised signature [Ανδο]κιδες εποε on the foot. Tarquinia RC 1091 (ARV[2] 76/65)
has εποιεσενοχ and on a wineskin εποιες, presumably for lack of space. Clearly
ours is miswritten and the painter wrote nu for pi.
