CAVI Lemma: BF NECK AMPHORA. FROM VULCI. LEAGROS GROUP; LEA CLASS NO. 2 (BLöSCH). LAST
QUARTER SIXTH. 510-500.
CAVI Subject: ATHLETES: A: A TRAINER; A BEARDED JUMPER; TWO RUNNERS (ONE BEARDED). BETWEEN
THEIR LEGS, A DISCUS. B: DISCOBOLUS; A KNEELING YOUTH (JAVELIN THROWER); A
TRAINER; A BEARDED JAVELIN THROWER.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: BETWEEN THE RUNNERS' LEGS, ABOVE THE DISCUS: Πολυμένον, RETR. TO RIGHT OF
THEIR MIDDLES: Nικᾶς{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} THE ALPHA AND SIGMA LIE SIDEWAYS. POLYMENON IS NOT LISTED IN PAPE OR PA
(BUT POLYMENES IS); HE APPEARS ONLY HERE IN LGPN II; Nικᾶς IS LISTED IN PAPE ON
A COAN COIN, NOT AT ALL IN LGPN II. BOTH NAMES SEEM TO ME TO BE PUNNING: THE
VICTOR AND THE SECOND IN ENDURANCE. Πολυμένον, νικᾶ[ι]ς SEEMS MUCH LESS LIKELY
(AN IOTA WOULD BE MISSING), ALTHOUGH KRETSCHMER GIVES νικᾷς, Πολύμενον. LANGLOTZ
ALSO THINKS Nικᾶς IS A NAME. Nικᾶς SEEMS TO BE THE RIGHT READING, Nίκο̅ν BEING
EXCLUDED BY THE PENULTIMATE LETTER. ONE OF THE RUNNERS IS NOT A YOUTH, BUT I DID
NOT NOTE WHICH IT WAS.
