CAVI Lemma: WG lekythos. Providence Painter. Second quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: A goddess (Hera) with phiale and scepter, at an altar.
CAVI Inscriptions: καλος Ε(υ)αιον{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} ARV[2] 643 prints Ελαιον, in Attic letters, but says: "The name may be
Euaion, although in both vases [Lyons and Syracuse] the second letter of the
name is written like a lambda." On p. 1579 B. says: "I have kept nos. 1 and 2
under `Euaion,' but the second letter of the name is written like an old lambda,
and Elaion, which Orsi read in [Syracuse 21,146], is a possible name. [But it is
not in Pape, PA or LGPN ii.]
CAVI Comments: Cf. Syracuse 21,146, ARV[2] 642/115, which has the same inscription. The
upsilon resembles an Attic lambda.
CAVI Number: 4873
AVI Bibliography: ARV[2] (1963), 643/116, 1579.
