CAVI Lemma: RF column krater. Suessula Painter. Last quarter fifth. Ca. 410 (Beazley).
CAVI Subject: A: symposium, with Nike. B: three youths.
CAVI Inscriptions: Under the foot, Gr.: Κωρινθιωργεις Π{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Beazley gives the last two letters of the adjective as heta 1: if that is
right, it would be miswritten. Johnston, p. 232, thinks the inscription is
Attic, written by an Athenian unfamiliar with omega; but omega for omicron
occurs throughout the fifth century on Attic vases (AttScr (1990), 167). Leroux
prints as in Ionic alphabet, with omega twice. He also has the penultimate
letter of the word as closed heta. His interpretation: κωρινθιωργος π, is of
course impossible. Does he think the `heta' is a miswritten omicron? I think the
`heta' must be epsilon plus iota written close.
CAVI Comments: `Five column kraters.' Parallels in Beazley. Threatte (1996), 688, seems to
have a different reading in mind.
