CAVI Collection: New York 21.88.174.
CAVI Lemma: RF cup. Oltos. Last quarter sixth. 520-510.
CAVI Subject: Int.: a youth with a hare (setting him to course). A: Heracles and the Lion. B: a warrior, a mounted youth, and a youth.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: Με[μ]μνον καλος. B: καλος. Σμικρος. Λεκες. [--]ι̣σχ[--].
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the name is not in LGPN ii.
CAVI Comments: The readings after ARV[2]. On p. 63 Beazley does not connect the καλος with Σμικρος, but on p. 1608 he lists Smikros as a kalos-name with a question mark. Ohly-Dumm considers Smikros here a kalos-name, and I would follow this. But cf. Williams: the youth on the left of B is Smikros; in the center is a youth on horseback to left, called Λεκες,(1) which Williams derives from λεκος or λεκις, `pot or pan.' He is not an aristocrat but a younger member of the workshop raised to a higher plane. Cf. Malibu 82.AE.53, attr. to Smikros, which has Euphronios as an aristocratic lover. Smikros is here tag-kalos.
