CAVI Lemma: BF amphora. From Vulci. Unattributed. Ca. 500 (Langlotz).
CAVI Subject: A: Europa on the bull. B: similar{1}.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: on Europa's left: ταυρος, retr. Around her arm: Ευροπεια{2}. Below the
bull: φορβας{3}. B: to left of Europa's face, not retr.: Ε[υ]ροπ[ει]α{4}.
Starting to right of Europa and curving around the neck of the bull to below the
belly, facing out: [τα]ῦ̣ρος ἀνιαδες{5}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} not well preserved and partly restored. {2} see Pape. {3} Langlotz reads
ταῦρος φορβάς, as does CIG. The letters ρ, β, α are partly written over breaks,
hence retouched. {4} I follow Langlotz' reading which agrees with the photo; the
alpha is upside down, unless it goes with the next inscription. {5} so Langlotz,
but see the last note for the pertinence of the alpha. CIG reads ταῦρος ἀνιάδης,
but Jacobsthal, with greater probability, suggests amending to ἀναιδής [for the
meaning, cf. LSJ, suppl.(2), s.v. ἀναιδής II].
CAVI Comments: The inscriptions on both A and B seem retouched.
