CAVI Lemma: RF oinochoe. From Orvieto. Mannheim Painter. Third quarter fifth{1}.
CAVI Subject: Body: three Amazons testing their arrows. Neck: an owl.
CAVI Inscriptions: To left of the right Amazon's head (she faces left), retr.: δ(α)γυς.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Ca. 430, CVA.
CAVI Comments: Greifenhagen (in CVA and AA) refers to δαγύς, `wax doll' and thinks the
Amazon's beauty is referred to. [LSJ lists Theoc. 2.110 for this word, where the
alpha is long: hence not an Attic word? See also LSJ Suppl{2}. (1996).] The
alpha lacks the cross stroke. Dotted delta.
CAVI Number: 5064
