CAVI Lemma: BF LM [[LIP]] CUP. FROM CATANIA, SANCTUARY OF DEMETER. UNATTRIBUTED. THIRD
QUARTER SIXTH.
CAVI Subject: INT.: TWO RAMPANT GOATS FACING. EXT.: ?
CAVI Inscriptions: INT.: TO GOATS' LEFT, FACING OUT: αγριος OR Αγριος (A PROPER NAME? ON THE
TYRRHENIAN AMPHORA IN CERVETRI (BADB 7968) IT IS A SATYR NAME). TO THE GOATS'
RIGHT, SIMILAR BUT FACING IN AND CROWDED: [--]αδε(?) VACAT. [[AND "ALL' ESTERNO
SI LEGGE χαιρε και πιει ευ", NOT ILL.; HOWEVER, TWO MORE INSCRIBED FRS. OF LIP
CUPS ARE SHOWN ON FIG. 7, ONE PROBABLY WITH NONSENSE INSCR., BOTH SM. AND
ILLEG.]]
CAVI Comments: SINCE C. DOES NOT MENTION THE INSCRIPTION ON THE RIGHT, I AM UNSURE OF THE
READING. SHE CITES THE VASE FOR THE INSCRIPTION ON THE LEFT, CLAIMING THAT THE
GOAT IS A WILD ANIMAL THAT DEVOURS CULTIVATED PLANTS. I WONDER IF THE WORD
REFERS TO THE GOAT AT ALL. ARE THE GOATS MALE?
