CAVI Lemma: Fr. of RF cup. From Thasos, Artemision. Epiktetos (Maffre). Last quarter
sixth.
CAVI Subject: Int.: no figured representation preserved; traces of coral red. A: upper
portions of figures: Artemis with a bow; a youthful Apollo with his lyre
(barbiton); Hermes; an arm supporting a panther, probably a maenad.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: Dipp.: starting to right of Artemis' face and running across the figures
roughly horizontally: Ἀπολλόδωρος{1}. Below, also roughly horizontally and
curving downward at the end: ὁ Διϊφίλο̅{1}. Continuing downward: ἀν[έθηκε]{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the figures intervene numerous times: Απο^λλ^οδ^ω^ρ^ος | ο ^ Δι^ιφι^λο ^
αν[--]. The last two letters seem to be retr.
CAVI Comments: Note the absence of heta, although room for it is preserved; Ionic lambda;
phi with the vertical extended above and below; and omega. The inscription is in
the Ionic alphabet, which to Epiktetos would have been foreign. No doubt a
commissioned vase by a non-Athenian, perhaps a Thasian, acquired to be dedicated
to Artemis on Thasos. See Maffre in Thasiaca, pp. 67-69. Compare the dinos by
Exekias, Villa Giulia 50,599 (ABV 146/20) with an inscription in the Sikyonian
alphabet written by Exekias. Differently (and wrongly?) Rebillard.
