CAVI Lemma: BF Tyrrhenian neck amphora. Fallow Deer Painter (Bothmer). Third quarter
sixth. 550-530. Middle period (Kluiver).
CAVI Subject: A: Amazonomachy. B: horsemen.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: nonsense: betwen the second figure's legs, bearing downward: six letters
retr., beginning with digamma 2 (in chart in AttScr). Between the legs of a
fourth figure, bearing slightly downward: five letters, retr., the last lambda
1. Between the head of an Amazon and a falling Greek, diagonally downward:
ϝιϝ(ο)ιϝ. retr.{1}. [[Deleted in later versions:]] B: four nonsense
inscriptions{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} K., p. 29 argues about the digammas, thinking (with Ruijgh's approval),
that they are miswritten kappas. It is true that they look a bit like that on
this vase. [I wonder if we are not dealing here and elsewhere with letters of an
indetermined shape (i.e., letters the painter did not know the proper
identification of) as I think there are no `good' kappas in these inscriptions.]
{2} the photo in CVA seems to show one inscription on B, but that one is
probably restored.
CAVI Comments: CVA's readings are not worth repeating. The vase has since been cleaned.
