CAVI Lemma: BF hydria. Priam Painter (Bothmer). Last quarter sixth. Ca. 510 (Bothmer).
CAVI Subject: Shoulder: chariot race: two chariots. Body: nine maidens (muses?), between
Dionysus and Hermes with a dog.
CAVI Inscriptions: Shoulder: Τυλιος. Λυσιος. Μινονχς. Μικοννιος{1}. Under the foot, Gr.: H with
two diagonals and V. See Johnston (1979), 139f./13E; this is common on vases by
the Priam Painter.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} so Bothmer in the text; the photos. are not much help. I think the first
two names are written by the charioteers, the last two under the horses.
CAVI Comments: Bothmer says the inscriptions are hard to read and may be garbled.
Illiterate? Mock inscriptions? Bothmer also refers to "another, similarly
tantalizing" inscription on an amphora by the Priam Painter, Oxford 212, ABV
331/5, with the kalos-name Μυν[ν]ιχος. [[CAVI 5876]]
CAVI Number: 5753
