CAVI Lemma: Fragmentary WG lekythos. From Athens. Achilles Painter. Third quarter fifth.
460/55-450 (Oakley).
CAVI Subject: Mistress and Maid: woman to right; behind her, a stool; at left, at top, a
mirror hung up; woman to left, with offering tray; behind her, a stool; at top,
a shash hung up.
CAVI Inscriptions: Between the heads, at top, remains of the ends of lines 1 and 3 of a
three-liner:(1) [Δρομ]ιππος | [καλος] | [Δρομοκλει]δο{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the ph., pl. 99B, shows the letters probably stoich., and on the same
fr.; I am puzzled by the fact that the last two letters are in the same
stoichoi, although line 1 has 9 letters and line 3 has 11. Was the writing
irregular as in Athens, NM 12,788? {2} the delta is given in Oakley's cat. and
is clearly visible in the ph.
CAVI Comments: Oakley lists as Frankfurt, University 1. The dr. in CVA is wrong in showing
the first pi as a vertical line; the ph. shows that both pi's are clear Is this
now in the Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte, as are many other vases from the
university? Ionic lambda.
CAVI Number: 3751
