CAVI Collection: Toronto, Royal Ontario Museum 322.
CAVI Lemma: BF lekythos. Unattributed; Class of Athens 581 (Beazley). Ca. 500 (Hayes).
CAVI Subject: Dionysus seated between a maenad and a satyr.
CAVI Inscriptions: On the shoulder, immediately to right of the handle, Gr.: hΕ.
CAVI Comments: = 916.3.16 (formerly C. 329). The letter forms seem to me to show that the
inscription is not Attic; Johnston agrees. The Gr. may be Greek ("since there is
a good chance that the piece had a Greek-speaking provenance", p. 187) and an
owner's inscription, or Etruscan. But Johnston overlooked the fact that the Gr.
is on the body, not the foot, and should be listed in the supplementary list 1;
this makes the idea of an owner's inscription even more likely. Closed heta. The
Epsilon has a vertical extended above and below.
