CAVI Lemma: RF Nolan amphora Tyszkiewicz Painter. First quarter fifth. Ca. 480.
CAVI Subject: A: man leaning on his stick, holding out a necklace or wreath to: B: woman.
CAVI Inscriptions: Under the foot, in the center, Dip. in BG, circular: αεσδ{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Oakley says the second letter is epsilon or tau; I see no tau.
CAVI Comments: I do not know in what order these letters are to be read. A name Δαης exists,
but what is it doing in this position? Also the spacing seems aginst it. The
letters are unusual but apparently Attic: alpha with sloping bar, disjointed;
dotted delta; epsilon with curved strokes and thick vertical; three-stroke sigma
reversed. - Not in Johnston (1979).
CAVI Number: 1939
