CAVI Lemma: RF cup. Triptolemos Painter. Python, potter. First quarter fifth. 490-480.
Early (Beazley).
CAVI Subject: Int.: tondo: Dionysus with ivy sprig and kantharos; a young oinochoos
(Oinopion), frontal, pouring from an oinochoe; at right, a stool with a cushion.
Surrounding frieze: A procession of 13 pairs of youths and bearded men, preceded
by a flautist confronted by a bearded man with his stick (a marshall). Ext.:
A:(1) continuation of the Int. frieze: four pairs preceded by a flautist. B:(1)
onlookers: four individuals (one bearded) with sticks, preceded by a trainer
with a forked stick.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: tondo: to left of the oinochoos, starting from his head and curving
along the margin: hο πα̣ις, retr.{2}. To right of Dionysus' back, starting above
the stool and facing out: καλος, retr.{2}. Outer frieze:(3) to right of each
pair: Λ[υ]κος. [--]ιας. [--]ον. Φ[ι]λον. Ευφιλετος. Καλ[λ]ιμαχος. Λεοδικος.
Κλεοκριτος. Λ[..]θεμις{4}. Διονυσιος. Θυτιμιδες{5}. Ευκλες{4}. A{ν}ριστοτελες.
[Μ]ιλιαρχος{6}. Ext.: A: Ευ[--]δες{7}. Ευφ[ι]λετος. Φιλον. Καλ[λ]ιφον{8}. B: hο
π^αις. Between the last two figures: καλος, retr.{9}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} B, Knauer who reverses A and B; her A is what you see when tilting the
cup with the Int. medaillon upright. {2} not all letters show in the phs. The
second sigma is reversed. Knauer read: hο π[α]ις καλος. {3} the readings are a
combination of Knauer's (pp. 227 n. 15 [Int. frieze] and 230 n. 18 [A]) and what
can be seen in her photos. R. Cromey has another set of readings (unpublished).
{4} so Knauer in the text. {5} upsilon for long closed ο: Θοτιμιδες for
Θεοτιμιδης. {6} Miliarchos is probably to the right of the marshall's head (who
confronts the flautist); it is curving downward and bends back when reaching the
last boy (end-boustr.). This inscription was read Χιλιαρχος by Hartwig and
Cromey considers it a title (in a paper delivered orally). There is no
inscription between the flautist and the marshal (Knauer). {7} possibly
Ευ[χαρι]δες, Beazley. {8} see Kretschmer (1894), 142. {9} after Knauer, 230 n.
17. A figure intervenes.
CAVI Comments: For different interpretations see Knauer; she interprets the procession as
the introduction to the phratry of teen-age offspring at the Apatouria. This
implies that the names are all of youths. For the parasitic nu in the thirteenth
name, see Threatte (1980), p. 489. Attic alphabet. Tailed rho.
