CAVI Subject: A RECLINING FIGURE BETWEEN TWO SEATED WOMEN.
CAVI Inscriptions: HORIZONTALLY NEAR THE SHOULDER, GR.: Hερμαιος με ευρε κειμελιον αλ[λ]ο̅ν.
CAVI Comments: ONCE IN THE COLLECTION OF N. SARIPOLOS. IS THE VASE REALLY LOST OR IS IT IN
THE NATIONAL MUSEUM? THE MOUTH IS MISSING. EPH. SPEAKS OF A RECLINING βουκεφαλος
ανηρ. THE DESIGN IS EXCEEDINGLY SLOPPY, BUT THE LETTER FORMS WOULD DATE THE
INSCRIPTION ABOUT 500. NOTE THE PUN ON THE NAME HERMAIOS: THE VASE IS A ἕρμαιον.
CAVI Number: 4820
