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
