CAVI Lemma: RF neck amphora. Near Kleophrades Painter{1}. Late sixth. Earliest period
(Beazley).
CAVI Subject: A: a boxer. B: sn athlete scraping himself.
CAVI Inscriptions: Faint and fragmentary: nonsense: A: to left of the boxer: πε. On the right:
εσ. B: to left of the athlete: six imitation(?) letters beginning with ε. At
right: ε(ο)(χ){2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Beazley says `perhaps'. Richter in AJA thought perhaps by the very
earliest Kleophrades Painter, before his style was formed. {2} after the dr. in
A.E.M.; clearly poor. Richter in ARFV says: formerly read as :
Epi..e...egr.ph.... and Ep....... e......., i.e., two signatures by Epiktetos.
Den Tex informed Richter that Wilhelm and others considered the letters
meaningless.
CAVI Comments: Ex Oest. Mus., inv. 1091. Formerly attributed to Epiktetos on the basis of a
reading of the inscriptions (Klein (1887), 108/26, Hoppin, Pfuhl, and VA (1918),
28/50). Kraiker disagreed. V.Pol. (1928), 15, n. 3: painted by Epiktetos under
the influence of Euthymides. Later Beazley connected it with the Kleophrades
Painter, while Richter attributed it to the painter himself. Cf. Robertson
(1992), 66, on the `Epiktetos' signatures.
