CAVI Lemma: WG stemless cup with merrythought handles. From Athens. Manner of Sotades
Painter V. Hegesiboulos, potter. Second quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: Int. (coral red; WG): woman spinning a top.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: starting to left of the woman's back, in the middle, and ending near
the top, in a large curve not parallel to the margin, in BG: Εγεσιβολος
εποιεσεν{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Ε-γεσιβ-ο-λος εποιεσεν. `-' indicates a space between letters; the
spacing is irregular. The strokes are very thin and the curve is beautifully
arranged to define the picture.
CAVI Comments: From the same tomb as London D 5-7, etc. Beazley refers to the RF cup by the
Hegesiboulos Painter in New York (07.286.47), ARV[2] 175, which is much earlier,
but where the name of the potter is spelled the same way. On Hegesiboulos and
his relation to the potter Sotades, see also Robertson, Robertson (1992), 186
(workshop owner? The same person or a descendent of the Hegsiboulos of the RF
cup in New York?). Mixed alphabet. Gamma with uneven legs. Ionic lambda.
Three-stroke sigma.
