CAVI Lemma: BF/RF eye cup. From Vulci. Group of Louvre F 125{1}. Nikosthenes, potter.
530-520.
CAVI Subject: Int.: BF: a bearded komast running. Ext.: RF: between eyes: A: a naked youth
running. B: a ram.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: starting below the komast's legs and curving upward along the margin to
near his left shoulder: vacat []κοσθενες v. ε̣ποι[] vacat. I.e.: κοσθ^ενες
ε̣ποι[εσεν]{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} may be by one hand (Beazley). {2} there is perhaps a short vacat between
the words. A leg interposes after the theta. No doubt incompletely written, as
the surface before and aft seems well enough preserved. A good picture: CVA, pl.
7,2.
CAVI Comments: At ARV[2] 161/1, Beazley says that the inscription is complete aft and
probably also fore; there is just room for the first two letters in the missing
patch to the right of the komast's ham, but the position would be strange [I
observed none of this in the photo.]. This seems to me a clear case of an
inscription being copied from a model.
