CAVI Lemma: RF pelike. From Etruria. Unattributed{1}. Last quarter sixth.
CAVI Subject: A: Peleus and Thetis; at right, a fleeing Nereid. B: two nude hoplites
fighting.
CAVI Inscriptions: Nonsense: A: to left of Thetis' forehead: πσι. ιοχι{2}. B: νισι. Under the
foot, Grr.: ligatures: AF [[lig.]] and alpha with a curved line appended
(possibly Etruscan CA, Johnston (1979), 240, 1B n. 1).
CAVI Footnotes: {1} attributed to Smikros in ARV[2], but the attribution is withdrawn in
Para. Johnston (1979), still lists the vase as Smikros. {2} so CVA. According to
my note, these inscriptions may be one; at least, they are placed in intervals
of parts of the figures: πσι^ v. ι^ο^χι, with one head, one hand, and another
head intervening.
CAVI Number: 6430
