CAVI Lemma: Fr. of RF cup. From Eleusis. Onesimos (P). Early fifth. Early (Beazley).
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.
CAVI Number: 3427
