CAVI Lemma: BF olpe (oinochoe). From Nola. Unattributed{1}. Last quarter sixth. Ca. 515
(Fournier-Christol).
CAVI Subject: A girl approaches a fountain, where a hydria is being filled (Pottier:
Polyxena); branches.
CAVI Inscriptions: To left of the lion head, not facing it: δεχε{2}. To right of the girl's
chest, not facing her: τεδε, retr. Above, and a bit to left of, the hydria:
πρεχε, retr.{3}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} outskirts of Leagros Group (Villard). Beazley is said to compare: Vatican
G 47; Würzburg 342; Oxford 225; Würzburg 345. {2} this could be read retr. {3}
or, perhaps better: πδεχε.
CAVI Comments: = N 3387. F.-C. reads: δέχε, τέ[ν]δε μάεο: `take - this - fill' (no source
for this is given). Clearly Leagran nonsense; but could they be mock
inscriptions, recalling δεχου, τε[ν]δε and παρεχε(?). Large clear letters.
CAVI Number: 6368
