Publication Record: Graef, B. and Langlotz, E., Die antiken Vasen von der Akropolis zu Athen 1 (Berlin, 1925): PL.106.2569 Karoglou, K., Attic Pinakes, Votive images in clay. British Archaeological Reports International Series 2104 (Oxford, 2010): 158, FIG.49
CAVI Lemma: Frs. of BF plaque. From Athens. Unattributed{1}. Early fifth.
CAVI Subject: Chariot before a stoa; Athena with the reins; Heracles.
CAVI Inscriptions: Nonsense: to left of the left column, close to the capital, two lines, widely
spaced: [---]δ̣μο and [---]δυω{2}. Between the left column and a leg of
Heracles: λολοσ^λος, retr.{3}. Under the horses bellies, between the right
column and the horses' legs: χαιρε{γ}, retr.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Boardman: "an Acropolis votive plaque of which little is left for
comparison of the drawing, which is still quite compatible [with the Sappho
Painter], offers with other inscriptions λολοσλοσ." I.e., B. relates the fr. to
the Sappho Painter on the basis of one of the nonsense inscriptions. {2}
Graef–Langlotz reads δυπ, but the last letter is an omega (with very short
hastae). {3} considered by Peek a shout to the horses; see Acr. 2124.
CAVI Comments: Frs. a - b. All inscriptions probably nonsense, except for the word χαιρε.
