CAVI Lemma: Fr. of BF Nikosthenic pyxis. Unattributed. Ca. 510 (Simon).
CAVI Subject: A: upper part of two pairs, each of a warrior facing a youth.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: on the shield of the right-hand warrior, in white: device: rear section of
a horse to right: above it, in a curve along the shield rim, also in white:
ελανος.
CAVI Comments: Rim fr. G. Neumann refers to Hsch.: ελανος· ικτινος (kite [a kind of hawk]).
On the cavalry tickets from the Ceramicus (AM 85 (1970) 264), horse names from
birds are the most common group, although this particular one is not found.
Neumann and Simon think the inscription may give the name (or brand) of the
horse depicted on the shield, and is thus not a human name.
