CAVI Lemma: BF hydria (kalpis). From Cumae. Unattributed. Last quarter sixth.
CAVI Subject: Five women at a fountain.
CAVI Inscriptions: To lower left of the leftmost woman, not facing her: ναιχι. To her right,
facing her: Μυτε καλε{1}. To lower left of the second woman, not facing her:
Nικο. To right of the third woman, facing her: Καλλο. To right of the fourth
woman, facing her: Ροδοπις. The fifth figure is smaller and is at the fountain
filling her hydria; she is not named.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Beazley prints: Μ(.)τε, the second letter obscure. Bechtel suggested
Μυ[ρ]τε. Perhaps: Μ(υ)[ρ]τε καλε, ναιχι. CVA says: Heydemann had Myte or Muia.
LGPN ii also has Μυρτε.
CAVI Comments: = RC 187. = R.C. 26? For Myrte (see below) cf. the phormiskos Ceramicus 691,
AttScr (1990), no. 436. CVA 35 has much discussion of fountain scenes. The
letters are thick and squat.
