CAVI Lemma: WG lekythos. From Metapontum. Unattributed{1}. Second quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: Apollo running to an altar.
CAVI Inscriptions: Modern repainting: to left of the scene: ιερον. In front of Apollo, up:
Αρτεμιδι. Originally nonsense?
CAVI Footnotes: {1} listed under `Semi-outline Lekythoi,' near the Bowdoin and Athena
Painters (ARV[2] 689).
CAVI Comments: Restored. The extant inscriptions are false. Beazley says: "Fairbanks accepts
Heydemann's view of the inscription, but the letters are repainted and were
doubtless void of meaning." The lettering is not ancient.
CAVI Number: 5491
