CAVI Lemma: Fr. of RF cup. From Athens. Probably Carpenter Painter{1}. Last quarter
sixth.
CAVI Subject: Int.: youth kissing a girl.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: above the figures: [h]ο̣ παι[ς καλος]{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} "might be unusually delicate work by him," Beazley; Bothmer is more
certain (his article is on the Carpenter Painter). {2} so the text of
Graef–Langlotz; photo only shows: [---]πα[---]. The photo in GMusJ is clearer
than that in Graef–Langlotz: it shows at the left edge two strokes diagonally
downward, the lower perhaps curved: this could be a disjointed omicron. For
epsilon 7 the top stroke would be missing (enough is preserved to show this).
Hence hο παις is more likely than hε παις, Graef–Langlotz's reading.
CAVI Number: 1286
