  • CAVI Collection: Würzburg 186.
  • CAVI Lemma: BF neck amphora. From Vulci. Antimenes Painter. Last quarter sixth. Phase 2: 520-515 (Burow).
  • CAVI Subject: A: Judgment of Paris. B: a youth on horseback between two men.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: Under the foot, Gr.: ΑΘΤΙ, retr.
  • CAVI Comments: This four-letter sign occurs frequently on vases of the period, mainly BF hydriae; several are by the Antimenes Painter or possibly by him (see Burow and Johnston (1979), 115/1D); the version without tau is found also with the Euphiletos Painter. Johnston 204 argues against the mark being Etruscan, as has been suggested (see 242, 1D n. 1); he thinks it is perhaps Aeginetan. He has 9 examples of ΑΘΙ and 14 of ΑΘΤΙ. He follows Nogara (1937), 451 in deriving the word from Ατθις with metathesis. I have not included all instances in CAVI. Johnston is not certain whether this is an adjective or a personal name [but he seems to prefer the former]. Cartwheel theta, nearly rectangular but with rounded corners.
