CAVI Lemma: WG alabastron. Painter of London D 15 (Beazley){1}. First quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: At left, a naked youth with a short stick(2) leaning against a pillar; in the
center, a cock; at right, a naked youth reaching out for the cock.
CAVI Inscriptions: In the empty space between the two youths, facing the youth with the cock:
Φανος καλος. Between the youths and to left of the cock, facing the youth with
the stick: hο πα[ι]ς καλ̣ος.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Manner of the Brygos Painter IV. {2} `une baguette dont l'extremite
superieure est arrondie,' (K.).
CAVI Comments: Gift of G. Empedokles. K.'s dr., pl. 15, omits the iota of παις; it also
gives a faint iota for the lambda of the second καλος. The text, p. 445,
differs: K. reads: παι[ς], and the second kalos: κα̣λ̣ος. She notes that the two
inscriptions come close to being under the two knobs. I prefer the dr. to the
text. In his letter, Beazley, refers to the Phanos who appears in Ar., Hippeis
1256 and Wasps 1220, who is not the same. The circumflex is given by Herodian.
