CAVI Lemma: Fr. of BF plaque. From Athens. Unattributed. Late sixth.
CAVI Subject: Front: Athena; below, hound chasing a hare; below: Heracles pursuing a
centaur. Back: relief instrument tried out; inscription.
CAVI Inscriptions: Back: in two lines, with stoich. overlapping: v. εποιε[σεν]{1}. .....[---
[---]δες vacat. ---]...
CAVI Footnotes: {1} or εποιε.
CAVI Comments: The second line is in larger letters than the first; yet the two overlapping
letters are stoich. The letters are widely spaced and clearly written in
`epigraphic script.' Beazley states: "The plaque was originally a big one, which
got broken before being painted and was used for scribbling on - to try the
brush. The `signature' belongs to this stage. A smaller plaque was cut from it
and painted on the other side." I think the signature was a model to be used
elsewhere. For a discussion of models see AttScr (1990), 174, where this fr.
should have been mentioned. [Cf. however Acr. i, 2517?]
