  • CAVI Collection: Paris, Louvre E 857.
  • CAVI Lemma: BF Tyrrhenian neck amphora. O.L.L. Group. Mid-sixth.
  • CAVI Subject: A: two Gorgons, fleeing; at right, Hermes. B: warriors between horsemen.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: A: behind (to left of) Hermes' face: hερμ(ε)ς,(1) retr. Four(?) nonsense inscriptions. Three are: by a winged creature at left: (ν)υο(λ)ιυοι{2}. By the two Gorgons, horizontal: νοιοζυι and νοζυιογιο.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} the epsilon is apparently miswritten as a slightly curved iota. {2} so my reading; from CVA, I read: (ν)υθ(λ)ιυοι. The first letter may be a reversed nu or a sideways sigma.
  • CAVI Comments: Restored: see AA 1923-24, 64 (ABV). I do not repeat the readings in CVA's text, except for Hermes, which is given as hερμις, with three-stroke sigma reversed.
