CAVI Lemma: RF Nolan amphora Alkimachos Painter. Second quarter fifth. Ca. 470.
CAVI Subject: A: a warrior setting out. B: youth.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: nonsense: to left of the warrior's face, a horizontal two-liner with
attempted oblique stoichedon: νοσγσγ | hυγσ(γ)σ{1}. . . . . . . .. .. . .
CAVI Footnotes: {1} CVA prints the first gamma as an alpha with an interrupted cross bar. The
second line is given as: hσγσνγ. I follow my reading; the penultimate letter,
given as nu in CVA, looked to me like a gamma with an oblique stroke through the
right bar - some kind of correction?
CAVI Comments: Clear letters. For similar inscriptions (several by the Alkimachos Painter)
see AttScr (1990), 99 and n. 5.
