CAVI Subject: A: Athena to right; column figures: at left and right: Nike holding a wreath,
standing on a ship's prow. B: pankration: two fighting; at left, athlete; at
right, trainer.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: to right of the left column, kion.: Nικητης αρχων. To left of the right
column, kion.: των Αθηνηθεν αθλων.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the same general type as the Nikomachos series, but the vase departs in
many details from the norm; the floral decoration on the neck is almost the same
as on B 609 (Beazley). Connected by Peters with the L.C. Group. {2} pl. 34,1
probably shows the tip of a letter to right of the left column; pl. 34,2 shows
the beginning of the athla inscription to left of the right column, starting at
the top of the capital: ΤΩ... .
CAVI Comments: = 1873.8-20.369. Calligraphic script: note especially the etas, which have a
curved and elongated left vertical.
