CAVI Lemma: RF CUP. FROM CERVETERI. ERETRIA PAINTER. 430-420. CA. 430 (BEAZLEY).
CAVI Subject: INT.: A YOUTH (MUSAIOS) HOLDING UP WRITING TABLETS (WITH FIVE FOLDS), OPENED
AT THE TOP; A SEATED MAN (LINOS), HIMATION AROUND THE WAIST, WITH AN OPEN BOOK
ROLL; A BOOK CHEST. EXT.: ATHLETES: A: A TRAINER AND A JUMPER. B: ATHLETES.
CAVI Inscriptions: INT.: ABOVE THE YOUTH'S HEAD: Μοσαιος. ABOVE THE MAN'S HEAD: Λινος. THE
TWO-LINES OF WRITING ON THE ROLL HAVE BEEN VARIOUSLY READ (THE ROLL IS TWISTED):
1. JAHN (1856), 95-97: ννεν AND ιιιδεινα... 2. POTTIER: λνεν (ATTIC LAMBDA) AND
ιιι(δ)εοναι (THE `DELTA' = D). 3. BEAZLEY (1948): υνεν AND ι:ιοεοναι̣ (SEE
BELOW). 4. HRI: υνε(ν) (THE LAST LETTER A SIGMA(?) CORRECTED TO A NU OR VICE
VERSA) AND ι:ιοε(φ)ναι (THE `PHI' IS A SMALL CIRCLE WITH VERTICALS AT TOP AND
BOTTOM; IT MAY WELL BE AN OMICRON, AS BEAZLEY POSITED). A BETTER READING, FROM
THE PHOTO IN L.-H., IS: [--]υνεν | θ̣εωνα[--]. 5. BEAZLEY SAYS THAT THE FIRST
THREE SIGNS OF LINE 2 STAND FOR ANY LETTERS [CF. ATTSCR (1990), 174 AND N. 5].
HE RESTORES: [σοφροσ]ύνεν AND θεο̃ν αἰ[ειγεννετάο̅ν]. 6. L.-H. IN HER CAT.
APPEARS TO MAKE A MISTAKE, READING: υνεν | ιθ̣εωναι. ON P. 140 SHE REPORTS
BEAZLEY'S TEXT IN AJA AS: [σωφροσ]ύνεν | θ̣εῶν αἰ[ειγενετάων]. THE LINES PRAISE
`DIE BESONNENHEIT DER IMMERWäHRENDEN GöTTER' (L.-H.). A: TO RIGHT OF THE
TRAINER'S HEAD [ABOVE THE SCENE AS A WHOLE (ACCORDING TO L.-H.)]: Λυκοφρον. TO
RIGHT OF THE JUMPER'S HEAD: Εφαρμοστος. καλος. [CONNECTED WITH ANY NAME, OR
LABEL FOR A THIRD PERSON?] B: SIMILAR: [Α]λκιμα[χ]ος{1}. Ασστειος.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} THE NAME IS MENTIONED IN ARV[2] 1562.
CAVI Comments: THE INT. IS A SCHOOL SCENE IN MYTHICAL GUISE. ALKIMACHOS: SEE J.K. DAVIES
(1971), 12-15, 600, IV. ALSO WITH KALOS ON VILLA GIULIA 27,252. ALSO IN FERRARA
T 617, WITH KALOS, L.-H., NO. 98, CALLIOPE PAINTER; THIS SHOULD BE A YOUNGER
MEMBER OF THE SAME FAMILY, ALTHOUGH BEAZLEY 1562 DOES NOT DISTINGUISH THE TWO.
MIXED ALPHABET. IONIC LAMBDA AND THREE-STROKE SIGMA.
