CAVI Lemma: RF Nolan amphora From Capua. Briseis Painter. Second quarter fifth. Ca. 470
(Beazley).
CAVI Subject: A: maenad dancing. Satyr playing the flutes. B: satyr with castanets.
CAVI Inscriptions: Nonsense: A: below the ends of the flutes: υγιο̣κι, complete. B: below the
left arm, to right of the body: υιοσγυισ, complete{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Serbeti reads: λγιοσκι and λγιοσγιν.
CAVI Comments: Nonsense typical of this painter. Read as Attic alphabet. The upsilon
variable. Bothmer wonders whether the nonsense inscriptions rendered by Beazley
as λγιοσκι and υιοσγυισ are not illiterate attempts of writing Lykos. He thinks
Lykos kalos on a cup by the Foundry Painter. Para. 370/33 bis is the same (as
Beazley thought) as that on the Onesimos cups.
CAVI Number: 2705
