CAVI Lemma: BF LEKYTHOS. UNATTRIBUTED. EARLY FIFTH.
CAVI Subject: A MAN AND A YOUTH, EACH LEADING A HORSE.
CAVI Inscriptions: IN LARGE LETTERS BETWEEN THE HORSES, IN A DOUBLE CURVE: ὀνῖσθέ με καὶ εὖ
ἐ[μ]πολέσει. ABOVE THE RIGHT HORSE (I.E., ABOVE THE YOUTH LEADING IT): καλος.
CAVI Comments: THE READING OF THE LETTERS IS MINE; I HAVE OMITTED TWO SINGLE DOTS, ONE AFTER
και, THE OTHER AFTER THE LAMBDA, AS THEY SEEM ACCIDENTAL. THE INTERPRETATION IS
BEAZLEY'S, EXCEPT THAT I TAKE THE LAST WORD TO BE SECOND SINGULAR MIDDLE. NOTE
THE CHANGE FROM PLURAL TO SINGULAR IN THE VERBS. IS IT: `HELP ME [BY BUYING] AND
YOU WILL DO GOOD BUSINESS'? CF. χαιρε και πριο με(?).
CAVI Number: 6373
