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.
