CAVI Lemma: RF oinochoe (chous). From Viterbo. Shuvalov Painter; workshop (Lezzi-Hafter).
Third quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: `Zwei Knaben beim Unterricht': at left, a seated boy holding an open book
roll and looking at his companion, who stands at right, holding a lyre; a bag
hung up.
CAVI Inscriptions: On the book roll, nonsense, three horizontal lines stoich.: α(ο)δ̣ (λ)λο επ
v{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} hastily. {2} my reading from the vase, which does not quite correspond to
Immerwahr (1964) or Beazley in AJA, but the letters are not very clear. The
first letter is an alpha with a horizontal cross bar; the second letter is
probably an omicron with an extended loop rather than a rho as Beazley thought;
the third letter is either an Attic lambda, in which case the next two lambdas
would have to be read as Attic gammas (see also Beazley in AJA), or an
incomplete delta, certainly not an iota; the fourth letter is disjointed and has
a curving right hasta; the rest is clear.
