Curti Painter (Halm-Tisserant). Third quarter fifth.

dancing to the flutes.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: above and to right of S.'s head: vacat 3 χ(.)ος{3}. To right of C.'s

CAVI Footnotes: {1} bibl. on inscriptions: Arias (1958), 21ff., Alfieri–Arias (1958), 71ff.,
pls. 74-81, Alfieri–Arias (1960), 137ff., Aurigemma (1960–5), ii, 48–51, pls.
20-30, S. Patitucci, in Arte ant. mod. 16 (1962) 146-65. {2} so Simon (Arias and
Patitucci agree); Beazley in ARV[2] prefers this to his own (Dionysus with
Semele or Ariadne). {3} so the dr. (pl. 97); ..χ.ος, text. Aurigemma 1935
restores: Ιακχος. {4} so the photo.in Aurigemma; Aurigemma 1935 has ΚΛΟΕ in dr.,
and text. For καοε for καλε see AttScr (1990), 175 and no. 1177a. - Arias in CVA
reads, before the divinities: καλος and καλε, and this is repeated by Matheson.
CAVI Comments: = T 128 VT. The inscriptions had been repainted, but have been cleaned. For a
discussion of the subject see Robertson.
