- CAVI Collection: Madrid 11,265.
- CAVI Lemma: RF cup. Aison. Last quarter fifth. Ca. 420.
- CAVI Subject: Deeds of Theseus: Int.: Theseus and the Minotaur, with Athena. A: the bull;
Procroustes; Cercyon. B: Sciron; the sow (Phaea) and the nymph Crommyo; Sinis.
- CAVI Inscriptions: Inscriptions horizontal and mostly above heads: Int.: Αθηναα. Θησευς.
Μινω{1}. In the exergue in BG: Αισων :* εγραψεν{6}. A: [Θη]σευς. (The bull not
inscribed). Θησευς. Προκροστης{2}. Θησευς. Κερ[κ]υων{3}. B: Θησευς. Σκιρων.
Κρομ[μ]υω{4}. (Θ)(η)σευς. Σ̣ινις{5}. Ossorio's readings differ: A: the first
Θησευς is complete. Μινως. B: Θησευς. Κιρων. The sow: Κρομυων. Σινις.
- CAVI Footnotes: {1} But Alvarez-Ossorio has Μινως, with sigma 2 (= Z); other letters Ionic.
Leroux has ΜΙNΩ and restores Μινω[ταυρος]. {2} the dr. in Leroux, pl. 26, shows
Προκρο^σv.της, with a spear intervening and odd spacing of the ff. letters. {3}
so both text and dr. in Leroux. {4} Κρομυω, Leroux, text and dr. {5} for one
Theseus, Leroux has Θ . . . . . (in the text only). {6} ARV[2] wrongly gives Psi
2 (see the chart in AttScr).
- CAVI Comments: ARV[2] reverses A and B. Note that some figures on B are not inscribed. For
the Theseus cycles see Froning (1992a), 131-54. Theta once with 1 1/2 strokes in
the circle.
