CAVI Lemma: BF amphora. Rycroft Painter (Bothmer). Last quarter sixth. Ca. 520 (Shapiro).
520-510 (Boulter–Luckner).
CAVI Subject: A: Ransom of Hector: Hermes; an attendent carrying a tripod and a stack of
three phialae; Priam; Achilles reclining; a woman [Briseis?] with a hydria{1}.
B: Departure of a Warrior, in a chariot.
CAVI Inscriptions: Mainly nonsense: A: to right of Hermes' face; (κ)(ε)(.)[h]ερμε[ς]. Around
Priam's head: (δ)ο(γ)(.)αδ(.). B: to right of the charioteer's face: σσυσ. To
right of an old man's face, similar: τλοσ{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Shapiro thinks she is a servant to wash Hector's corpse rather than
Briseis. {2} the sigma is a reversed three-stroke sigma.
CAVI Comments: Very small letters, quite different from the sense inscriptions on London B
195. The inscriptions are sloppy and CVA's facss. are hard to decipher; B.&L. do
not explain them. My readings are therefore uncertain. It is hard to distinguish
the letters from drips.
