CAVI Subject: INT.: TWO HETAERAE AT THE HALOA FETIVAL: THEY DANCE AROUND A PHALLUS
SUPPORTED BY STYLIZED TESTICLES AS A BASE. [`DANCING' SEEMS BETTER THAN
`ERECTING A PHALLUS'. IT COULD BE THAT THE RIGHT HETAERA WHO IS NUDE IS ERECTING
IT, OR HOLDING IT UPRIGHT, WHILE THE LEFT ONE, WHO IS DRAPED, DANCES AROUND IT].
A: KOMOS OF FOUR DANCING YOUTHS. B: KOMOS OF FOUR FIGURES, TWO FIGHTING AND TWO
BEARDED.
CAVI Inscriptions: INT.: ABOVE THE SCENE, NEAR THE MARGIN: καλ̣ος; ON THE MIDDLE AND LOWER
RIGHT, SIMILAR: Hο παις. CARUSO READS: INT.: ο πα[ς] κα[λ]ος. ON THE PHALLUS,
VERTICALLY DOWN, IN BG: καλε{2}. A: Φρισσταγορας καλος, FOR Αρισσταγορας.
BEAZLEY READS: ΦΡΙΣΣ ΤΑΛΟΡΑΣ ΚΑΛΟΣ. [SIC]. A: UNDER THE RIM: κ[α]λος ο π[α]ις.
CARUSO: TRACES OF ILLEGIBLE LETTERS.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} MINGAZZINI ATTRIBUTES TO OEDIPUS PTR., A FOLLOWER OF DOURIS. {2} VERY
SLOPPY: THE LETTERS UNCLEAR; IT MAY PERHAPS BE READ RETR. KAPPA = CHI 1; ALPHA =
DELTA S 1; LAMBDA = GAMMA 2 (LAMBDA 5), UNLESS THE INSCRIPTION IS TO BE READ
RETR., WHEN LAMBDA WOULD BE 2; EPSILON NEAR 8 (SE THE CHART IN ATTSCR).
CAVI Comments: BEAZLEY THINKS THE WRITER MAY HAVE HAD ANOTHER KALOS IN MIND AND CHANGED
AFTER THE FIRST LETTER; HE NOTES THAT ON LOUVRE C 10,917+ THE NAME IS COUPLED
WITH PHAIDRIAS. - M.'S READING OF THE INSCRIPTIONS ON THE INT. IS ROUGHLY
CORRECT, BUT FOR A HE GIVES ONLY κ[α]λος Hο π[α]ις AND NO NAME. THE FACSS. MAKE
NO SENSE.
