CAVI Lemma: Frs. of BF band cup. Unattributed. Third quarter sixth.
CAVI Subject: Handle zone: A and B: cortege of horsemen, one group to left, the other to
right.
CAVI Inscriptions: Nonsense: {1} Group to left: all inscriptions horizontal: at the bottom, at
left: [--]ναλιοσοσ. hοποσοσ. ριτοστοσ. To right of one rider's back of head:
ριστ[--]. - {2} Group to right: at the bottom: ριτοστ. ορισοσ. Curved:
ρισ[--]{1}. At the bottom of a rider to right of a handle: ριοσ[--]. On a
separate (fifth?) fr. that shows the BG lip, above the neck of a horse that
faces right: χαιριρ[--].
CAVI Footnotes: {1} reading uncertain.
CAVI Comments: There are four or five frs. - The handle zone is filled with riders, but this
is not a multifigured band cup. The inscriptions, while nonsense, imitate names
of riders and horses. What is the meaning, if any, of the repeated ριστ?
