CAVI Subject: INT.: YOUTH WITH LYRE, SEATED. EXT.: PLAIN.
CAVI Inscriptions: INT.: AT LEFT, ALONG THE MARGIN, FACING IN: [Β]ουκολος, RETR.{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} THERE IS A SLIGHT VACAT FOLLOWED BY THE BREAK.
CAVI Comments: BEAZLEY, SUGGESTING THIS READING, THINKS IT IS PROBABLY A KALOS-NAME; SEE
ALSO LGPN II. HE DISCUSSES THE SPELLING `OU', WHICH HE THINKS IS FOR THE IMPURE
DIPHTHONG, AND GIVES SOME PARALLELS (MORE ARE IN THREATTE (1980), 240). BUT IT
IS NOT AN IMPURE DIPHTHONG, BUT FROM *βωυ-κολος. THE NAME BOUKOLOS SEEMS TO BE
MYTHOLOGICAL, AT LEAST IN THIS PERIOD (SEE PAPE); IT CAN REFER TO A WORSHIPPER
OF DIONYSUS.
