CAVI Lemma: BF oinochoe. From Athens, Theater of Dionysus. Kleisophos Painter. Xenokles,
potter. Third quarter sixth. Ca. 540.
CAVI Subject: Komos of six bearded men, with a young oinochoos at a calyx krater in the
center.
CAVI Inscriptions: To left of the scene, curving downward and facing out: Χσενοκλεες :Κλεσοφος.
Between the second komast and the oinochoos, downward: επο̣ιεσεν̣. In the lower
right-hand corner of the picture, vertically down, facing in and curving a bit
at the end: εγρα(φ)σεν{1}. [[Addenda:]] Written in the available spaces, holding
the vase sideways, starting at the nearest point and going up as in the
Euthymides signatures: Χσενοκλεες : Κλεσοφος, and επο̣ιεσεν̣ and εγρα(φ)σεν.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the phi drawn as a small omicron.
CAVI Comments: Beazley makes Kleisophos the Painter and Xenokles the potter, no doubt
correctly. Phi without the vertical. For the ending in -εες, which does not
occur in the regular Xenokles signatures, all of which have contraction, see
under Florence 76,362 [[CAVI 3600]].
