CAVI Lemma: RF cup. From Vulci. Oltos. Last quarter sixth.
CAVI Subject: Int.: woman with a laver, about to wash. A: Heracles and Kyknos; on each
side, horseman with a void horse. B: Theseus pursuing Minotaur to right;
horsemen as on A.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: around the scene, in an almost complete circle, starting at 5 o'clock
and facing out: Μεμ{μ}νον καλος. A: to right of Kyknos' (missing) head, to left
of the right horses' heads: Χιον. hερακλες, retr. Left horseman: καλο(ς), retr.
Behind the right horseman: καλος. B: name of the left horseman: Διχις, retr.{1}.
Name of the right horseman: Γλενος{2}. - Under each handle, starting near B:
kalos retr. and incompletely preserved; καλος{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} so CVA, text; miswritten? For Δεξις(??). {2} a son of Heracles; see Pape.
{2} CVA, text.
CAVI Comments: Chion is applied to Heracles' opponent in CVA, but Beazley suggests taking it
as a kalos-name, with the kalos to right of it: Χιον καλος. Chion is the name of
a komast on a fr. of a BF stamnos from Locri in Reggio (ARV[2] 1573), and
according to Beazley also on Amsterdam 2229, by Oltos (ARV[2] 64/100).
