Ψολων. . . . . . .....
CAVI Footnotes: {1} "Period of the Dinos Painter," Beazley, but he had not seen the vase. His
description of the scene omits one figure ("man and youth at herm"). I have seen
the picture in Mazochius, put on the screen by Claire Lyons at the Xmas Meetings
in Boston in 1989. It is clearly the same vase. Beazley reads Ψολων, from ψωλή,
but I suggest Ψολων from ψόλος, `soot', cf. Ασβολος; omicron for omega is
unlikely in this period. Hayes in a letter suggests Φιλων (the phi perhaps
doubtful), which I do not think is right. The entry in LGPN ii under Ψώλων is
unclear.
CAVI Comments: Once Mastrillo. See AttScr (1990), no. 774 and p. 22/72, and p. 27/97.
Clearly the same as ARV[2] 1607.
