CAVI Lemma: BF hydria. Priam Painter. Last quarter sixth. 520-510.
CAVI Subject: Shoulder: Warriors Leaving Home, with a man mounting a chariot. Body:
Heracles and Triton, with two Nereids.
CAVI Inscriptions: Shoulder: nonsense, widely spaced: to right of a man at the chariot: κοικοσ.
Below the horses' bellies: χασ. To right of the horses' forelegs: τον. Between
the legs of a hoplite and a man at right: λον. Body: on either side of the left
Nereid's head: κο^νικοι. Within the coils of Triton's tail: κο. Between
Heracles' and the right Nereid's legs: σικολλσ. Above their heads: τιμυσ{1}.
Under the foot, Gr.: V plus alpha with extended cross bar having short
verticals; eta with two short horizontals; also a trace of a red Dip.: see
Johnston (1979), 129/8E 36, 140/13E 19, and 182/72. The first two signs are also
found in Hackl (1909), no. 139, the third in Hackl (1909), no. 150.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} an accidental dot after the iota.
CAVI Comments: Several inscriptions look like miswritten proper names. The above readings
are from CVA. My own readings differ somewhat: Shoulder: above the chariot and
horses: ι̣ονικο(ς), the last letter unclear. Below: three short vertical
inscriptions: χασ. χοσ. τοσ, retr. Body: above the left Nereid's head (with the
head intervening): κο^νικοσ. In Triton's tail: κο (complete). Below his body:
σιγ̣ο^λ^(ν)σ^ (feet interfere). Above Heracles and the right Nereid, very clear:
τιμλσ. Hasty brush strokes.
