CAVI Lemma: BF lip cup. From Vulci. Unattributed{1}. Second quarter sixth. 550 or a bit
earlier (Beazley).
CAVI Subject: [[Int.: circles.]] Lip: A, B, each: Heracles and the Lion.
CAVI Inscriptions: Handle zone: A: χαιρε και πιει τε[ν]δι{2}. B: {χαι}χαιρε και πιει (π)ε
[[correct reading: {χαι}χαιρε και πιει{ρε}]]{3}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Beazley compares the scenes with Heracles and Lion groups under the
handles of Cambridge 60, signed Hischylos and Sakonides, but says G 59 is
earlier and finer; he also compares Lydos. {2} Beazley prefers τεδι, `here',
following a similar suggestion by Panofka. {3} Scheller describes a pi pinched
in [[“eingerollt”]]. But Beazley reads ρε and notes that the inscription is
inserted into a split χαι - ρε, a joke by the painter. But Scheller may be
right, in which case the inscription is miswritten. [[Beazley was right.]]
CAVI Comments: Very neat lettering.@@[[Diameter: 212.]]
CAVI Number: 7023
