CAVI Lemma: BF LOUTROPHOROS. FROM PIKRODAPHNI. SAPPHO PAINTER (HASPELS, KURTZ–BOARDMAN).
EARLY FIFTH (?).
CAVI Subject: NECK: A: TUMULUS SURMOUNTED BY LARGE LOUTROPHOROS. ON EACH SIDE A WOMAN.
SMALL WINGED FIGURE AND A SERPENT; ONLY TRACES REMAIN. B: FOUR WOMEN, TWO WITH
OFFERINGS. BODY: A: PROTHESIS, WITH CHILD, SIX WOMEN LAMENTING. AT RIGHT, WOMAN
AND MAN. B: ENTOMBMENT. COFFIN LOWERED BY FOUR MEN. THREE LAMENTING WOMEN. -
BELOW: CHARIOTS TO RIGHT.
CAVI Inscriptions: NECK, A: ON A NARROW BAND MARKED BY INCISED LINES THAT SURROUND THE TUMULUS,
IN APPLIED WHITE(2), IS A LONG INSCRIPTION NOW VERY HARD TO READ: (A) CONZE:
ανδρος αποφθιμενοιο ρακος κακον ενθαδε κειμαι. (B) CC.: ανδρος
γ........οιο(γ)αυ·κα·οιενθαδεκειμαι{3}. (C) WOLTERS: THE DR. GIVES: ανδρος α(π)
AND εν(ο)ιο ϝα^ (.)(λ)ο AND ο·οεκε ···{4}. (D) MY ATTEMPT: α[1-2]ν̣δρος
απ[.....]ε[2-3]ο(ι)ο[.?]πα[..]κα̣θ[1-2]{5}. BODY, A: NEAR MOUTH OF ONE LAMENTING
WOMAN: ΟΙΑΡΟΙ.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} ALL PREVIOUS ILLUSTRATIONS DERIVE FROM MON. INED. VIII, PL. 4, AND ARE
NOT ALWAYS CORRECT (CVA). {2} MUCH WHITE USED ON THIS SIDE. {3} IN CAPITAL
LETTERS; THE SECOND GAMMMA IONIC! {4} FIRST PI = UPPER HALF OF AN OMICRON. FIRST
BRACKETED OMICRON LIKEWISE. THE `LAMBDA' NEAR 6 ON THE CHART (ARGIVE!). {5} THE
IOTA COULD BE A KAPPA. {6} NO LONGER VISIBLE (CVA); I DID NOT SEE IT (THROUGH
GLASS).
CAVI Comments: THE VASE HAS NO BOTTOM. I WONDER IF CONZE'S READING IS NOT A RECONSTRUCTION.
ανδρος αποφθιμενοιο SEEMS REASONABLE, THE REST CANNOT NOW BE READ. WOLTERS
REFERS TO A. BRüCKNER (1891), 197 FOR THE READING; HE HIMSELF SAYS THE
INSCRIPTION IS ILLEGIBLE. - ON P. 96, HASPELS SPEAKS OF `THE DOUBTFUL CASE OF
THE INSCRIPTION READ BY CONZE ON THE LOUTROPHOROS IN ATHENS', ADDING THAT A
DIFFERENT READING IS GIVEN BY ==>>ENGELMANN, OJH 8, P. 154, N. 5 [WHICH I DO NOT
HAVE]. ON PP. 115-16, HASPELS MENTIONS THE INSCRIPTION, SAYING THAT ONLY PART
NOW REMAINS; THE LETTERS WERE PAINTED IN ADDED WHITE ON THE OUTER ZONE OF THE
TUMULUS, A ZONE MARKED OFF BY AN INCISED LINE RUNNING PARALLEL TO THE OUTLINE;
APART FROM THIS ZONE THE TUMULUS WAS ALL COVERED WITH WHITE, NOW NEARLY ALL
VANISHED, OVER THE BLACK, AND ON THE WHITE WERE INCISED FIGURES, A LARGE SNAKE
ON THE GROUND AND LITTLE WINGED PSYCHAI. - MOMMSEN CITES [CONZE'S] TEXT
ATTRIBUTING IT TO COLLIGNON-COUVE; SHE ALSO CF. A.B. COOK (1925), 1057F. SHE
ALSO CITES THE READING IN THE PROTHESIS SCENE, FROM THE MOUTH OF ONE OF THE
WOMEN: ΟΙΑΡΟΙ, WHICH SHE SAYS IS TODAY NO LONGER VISIBLE. NEITHER INSCRIPTION
INDIVIDUALIZES THE FUNERAL.
