CAVI Lemma: BF Panathenaic prize amphora. Eucharides Painter. First quarter fifth. Ca.
490 (Hayes).
CAVI Subject: A: Athena. B: horse race.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: τον Αθενεθεν αθλον. Under the foot, Grr.: αρυσ[τηρες]. A large Ϙ (koppa).
ΗΛ[. (the third letter = digamma){1}. Also a monogram: heta with a horizontal at
the left top and the middle hasta extended to the right (Johnston (1979), 13E
has some similarity). There is also a modern restorer's signature: `Repd. W.H.Y.
Sept. 92,' referring to the second restoration of the vase by W.H. Young in
1892. The first two Grr. are close together (hence Johnston's reading is right);
the other two are on the opposite side of the foot.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Johnston discusses only the first two marks: probably 90 arysteres, the
quantity of oil sold in a secondary transaction. Is the third mark an owner's
abbreviation: Ηγ(ε)[]? Mercantile Grr. on prize Panathenaics are extremely rare.
CAVI Comments: = 919.5.148 (formerly C. 335). The reference was originally given me by E.
Langridge. A near replica of London B 133, which is also by the Eucharides
Painter. The athla inscription is not quite parallel to the column (moving away
as it goes down); at the end, vacat 1-2. Large and strong letters. aryster: see
Hdt. ii 168: a measure equivalent to the kotyle.
