  • CAVI Collection: Leuven, Katholieke Universiteit.
  • CAVI Lemma: RF plate. From Athens (probably) (Burn). Meidias Painter (Cramers). Late fifth. 420-410 (Shapiro).
  • CAVI Subject: The Childhood of Asclepius: at left, two women, that on the left leaning against the other's shoulder; the woman on the right holds the infant Asclepius; tripod on a column; a third female seated to left.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: Above the leaning woman's lost head, horizontal: Ευ[--]{2}. Above the woman holding the child, horizontal: [Επι]δ̣αυρος. To right of the child, vertically down, starting at the shoulder: Ασσ[κληπιος]. Above the seated woman, horizontal: Ευδαιμονια.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} listed by R. as `Once Leyden, Cramers G 36'; the same number in Bea. Arch. {2} Ευ[κλεια] has been suggested; it is likely (Burn after Simon and Cramers); Shapiro does not decide between Eukleia, Eunomia and Eutychia.
  • CAVI Comments: Ex Antwerp, Private = Leiden, Private = Once Leiden, Cramers G 36 [so Burn.] The plate perhaps a copy of a pinax celebrating a dithyrambic victory because of the tripod; subject of dithyramb might have been the childhood of Asclepius (Simon apud Cramers). Burn calls it the first mention of Asclepius whose introduction to Athens in 420/19 the dithyramb may have celebrated. - For the double sigma, see AttScr. Eukleia is a suitable restoration for the first name (E. Simon apud Cramers).
