CAVI Lemma: FRAGMENTARY FOOT OF VASE (?) [["ROUGH DECORATION IN BLACK (BEAZLEY)"]]{1}.
FROM ATHENS. UNATTRIBUTED. END OF SIXTH (KIRCHNER (1948)).
CAVI Subject: ROUGH BLOTS IN BG AS DECORATION.
CAVI Inscriptions: ON AN INNER BG BAND, GR., FACING OUT: ανδρες εποιεσαν σοφιαισιν καλον ^
αγαλμα VACAT{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} SO ABV. {2} THE INSCRIPTION TAKES UP SOMEWHAT MORE THAN HALF THE
CIRCUMFERENCE. THE LAST WORD IS SLIGHTLY SEPARATED.
CAVI Comments: COMPLETE. BENNDORF SUGGESTED THAT A PREAMBLE ELSEWHERE CLARIFIED THE
INSCRIPTION. I RATHER THINK THAT THIS HEXAMETER IS ADDITIONAL TO A REAL
SIGNATURE (POTTER'S AND PAINTER'S, WHENCE THE PLURAL?) ELSEWHERE ON THE OBJECT.
THE WRITING IS HASTY AND FLUENT. TRIANGULAR RHO.
CAVI Number: 1544
