CAVI Lemma: RF cup. Ancona Painter. Early Classic. 470-460 (Brommer).
CAVI Subject: Int: Youth reading from a stele (meta?). Ext.: plain.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: nonsense: To youth's left curving upward: γιγιυ. On the stele:
imitation inscription (seven rows of three letters each, in a kind of stoich.):
(.)οι υτυ (.)σ(ν){1}. (.)(.)(ν){1}. στυ γ(ο)α{2}. τιρ{3}.
CAVI Comments: Done from the photo in AttScr, so far as visible. From same tomb as
Adolphseck 135? (Brommer). Svenbro rightly illustrates this vase as an example
of an erotic reader. - A parallel: Ferrara, Museo Nazionale di Spina T 381. RF
volute krater, Altamura Painter, ARV[2] 589/3, 1660, Para. (1971), 393, Add. 129
(bibl.), AttScr (1990), no. 672. - CVA gives parallels for a youth at a stele:
see Chamoux, who explains all as palaestra scenes, but Brommer thinks perhaps
not always true. B. adds: Adolphseck 62, q.v.; Mainz 114.
