CAVI Lemma: RF Nolan amphora From Nola. Alkimachos Painter. Second quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: A: a woman with a scepter: the woman is frontal, head to left; behind her, a
stool with a cushion. B: a woman to right, bringing her a phiale, from which
wine is spilling{1}.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: nonsense: before the woman, shown by Leroux as oblique stoich. two-liner:
δοσασε | δε[οτ. . . . . . . . . . . .. I do not know if this is accurate. B:
before the woman, horizontal:δοσε.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} interesting: women were not supposed to drink. Unless this is a cult
scene (the scepter!).
CAVI Comments: It is not clear what Beazley's dr. indicates; it could be δδσε, or nonsense.
I do not know what form of διδωμι, if any, is intended. We would expect δοσο;
hence perhaps miswritten. Attic alphabet. Triangular omicron.
