CAVI Lemma: Fragmentary RF hydria. Unattributed Pioneer. Last quarter sixth.
CAVI Subject: Shoulder: symposium. Body: Heracles with Athena and Dionysus.
CAVI Inscriptions: Shoulder: Ευθυ[]{1}. χαιρε, retr. χ[αι]ρε, retr.?(2) ταυτα, retr.{3}. Body:
between the lower bodies of Heracles and Athena: [h]ερακλε(ς). To left of
Athena's head: Αθεν[α]ια(ς), retr. Between her legs and a seated figure:
Ευθυμο(ς){4}. To right of Dionysus' middle: Διονυ(σ)[ος]{5}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} complete (ARV[2] 1621). {2} given with a query in ARV[2] 24/9; not
noticed when Beazley saw the vase (1621). {3} found on one of the Florence frs.
Beazley in CF translates: `yes' or `right', citing (after LSJ) Ar., Peace 275.
{4} Beazley prints Ευθυμον; the last letter is a clear nu, not a sideways sigma,
but it must be a mistake for Euthymos, since Euthymon is not found (see PA,
Pape, LGPN ii and the Greek inscriptions on the PHI disk), while Euthymos is
common later. {5} Διονυν, complete, Beazley.
CAVI Comments: + Florence 1 B 15 (two frs.) + Basel Market. The Ευθυ[] on the shoulder and
Ευθυμος on the body (my correction of an error by the painter, because of
Beazley's remarks about sideways sigma) must be the same name; see note 4 below.
I wonder if the name is a short form for Ευθυμιδες, for Beazley compares Louvre
G 41, which has the latter and has similar writing. Beazley does not specify to
which of the figures any of the inscriptions might pertain. The inscriptions
show a certain lack of literacy.
