CAVI Lemma: BF lekythos. Sappho Painter. First quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: Capture of Silenus: in the center, Silenus in an enclosure lying down, to
drink from a spring; above him, a clothed figure is crawling on top of the
enclosure, noose in hand; on either side, a seated man holding a spear and
facing the center (that at left is Midas), and a palm tree.
CAVI Inscriptions: Nonsense: under the outstretched arm of the seated man at right:
(.)(.)^(ο)εσ{1}. Under the right-hand palm tree: λτ(ι)τ^(ι)(ι)^.(2)
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the readings are from Brommer: the first two letters may be imperfections
in the glaze; the spear intervenes; the omicron is smeared. According to Miller,
Midas is inscribed. The ph. perhaps shows, at top right of his middle: Μ̣(.)^δες
(so in Walters', but not in Brommer's reading: (Μ)[ι]δες). The mu perhaps
partially preserved. (.) looks like a dot at the bottom of the line. [I wonder
if the reading is right: nonsense? But bad misspellings are found in the Sappho
Painter.] Walters has other readings that differ. {2} the tree and the spear
intervene; the `iotas' are vertical strokes with small hooks at the bottom.
CAVI Comments: Lissarrague has slightly different readings.
