  • CAVI Collection: Boston 01.8031.
  • CAVI Lemma: Fragmentary RF stamnos. From Orvieto. Hermonax. Second quarter fifth.
  • CAVI Subject: A: old man with a scepter seated in the center between three women on each side{1}. B: youth pursuing a woman{2}.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: A: two-liner, slightly downward: [hερμον]εχς | [εγραφσε]ν{3}.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} this is mostly restoration, hence not mentioned in ARV[2]. {2} my notes speak of other elements on this side; probably restored. {3} for hερμοναχς. No way of telling whether this was stoich. The epsilon is certain. {4} wrongly given as three-stroke sigma in ARV[2].
  • CAVI Comments: Much restored (including the signature, which has closed heta and phi with a long vertical!). Beazley says this vase is a replica of Orvieto, Faina 66, ARV[2], no. 5, where he also gives for the only subject `Youth pursuing a woman,' and where the signature is correct. Four-stroke sigma{4}. - The ph. in Hyatt shows most of A, as restored, including the restored signature: left-aligned stoich. two-liner, bearing downward: hερμον^εχς | εγραφσ^εν. The last letters in both lines are barely visible. The scepter intervenes.
