CAVI Lemma: FRS. OF RF SKYPHOS. FROM ELEUSIS. UNATTRIBUTED. THIRD QUARTER FIFTH. CA. 430
(BEAZLEY, EDWARDS).
CAVI Subject: A: RAPE OF PERSEPHONE: HADES ABDUCTING KORE IN A CHARIOT; AT LEFT, TWO WOMEN;
AT RIGHT, HERMES AND ANOTHER FIGURE; BEHIND THE HORSES, ANOTHER FEMALE FIGURE
(DEMETER? HARTWIG); ABOVE THE HORSES' HEADS, EROS WITH A WREATH AND A TORCH. B:
NOT PRESERVED UNLESS THE FR. OF HARTWIG'S P. 379 BELONGS THERE.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: TO EROS' LEFT, AT HEAD- AND SHOULDER-HEIGHT, FACING HIM: Ερος, RETR. BELOW
THE BOTTOM MARGIN, GR.: LEFT-ALIGNED HORIZONTAL STOICH. TWO-LINER IF THE FIRST
SIGN IS DISREGARDED (AS HARTWIG DOES WHO CONSIDERS IT A FALSE START):
(.)ανθιπ[πη] | ανεθηκεν{1}. ^ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
CAVI Footnotes: {1} HARTWIG'S DR.: BEFORE THE ALPHA OF THE NAME THE ILL. SHOWS THE `CARAT',
BUT THE TEXT GIVES THE READING: Ανθιππη ανεθηκε (WITHOUT THE FINAL NU!).
CAVI Comments: THE MUSEUM NO. IS GIVEN IN ADD.[2]. NEITHER EDWARDS NOR SIMON AGREE WITH MY
ORIGINAL READING FROM HARTWIG: THE PHOTO SHOWS: (.)α(ν)θιππη̣ | ανεθηκεν. THE
FIRST LETTER IS UNCLEAR IN THE PH.; IT LOOKS MORE LIKE A REVERSED THREE-STROKE
SIGMA THAN A XI. MY OWN OBSERVATION AGREED WITH THE DR. (SEE BELOW) IN THAT I
SAW A SIGN ^. THE FIRST NU SEEMS TO LACK THE FIRST STROKE (= V), BUT THAT IS
PROBABLY BECAUSE THAT STROKE DOES NOT GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE CLAY. THE
DR. SHOWS THE FIRST LETTER AS A KIND OF CARAT: ^. THE NU IS SHOWN COMPLETE. CAN
WE READ: (Ξ)ανθιππη̣ | ανεθηκεν OR [Χ]σ̣ανθιππη̣? IN BOTH PICTURES THE ALPHA OF
THE ANETHEKEN IS BELOW THE ALPHA OF THE NAME; THIS WOULD SUPPORT THE READING
Ανθιππη̣, IGNORING THE FIRST SIGN. THIS SEEMS ALSO LGPN'S OPINION. - THE DIP.:
MIXED ALPHABET WITH TRIANGULAR RHO AND FOUR-STROKE SIGMA. THE GR.: IONIC
ALPHABET, UNLESS THE FIRST SIGN IS A SIGMA. K.-D. GIVES THE DEDICATOR AS
ANTHIPPE.
