  • CAVI Lemma: Fr. of BF cup{1}. From Athens. Unattributed. Last quarter sixth.
  • CAVI Subject: Int.: mounted archer.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: starting to right of the horse's hind hoofs, facing the margin and originally running along it, with [κ]αλος ending above the horse's croup: Αθεν[--- κ]αλος.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} "Not as one might think from a bilingual cup of type A: the foot was of type C." (Beazley, ABV).
  • CAVI Comments: Graef–Langlotz, thinking the vase could be contemporary with RF vases praising Athenodotos (Proto-Panaitian Group, Onesimos, Peithinos, Colmar Painter), follows an earlier restoration: Αθεν[οδοτος κ]αλος, but Beazley obviously rejects this, since in ABV he prints: Αθεν..., [κ]αλος [I do not understand the comma]. A long name is however required.
