CAVI Lemma: RF cup. From Cerveteri. Ambrosios Painter. Last quarter sixth. 510-500.
CAVI Subject: Int.: a youth, in a cloak of Thracian type, leading his horse. Ext.: komos:
A: fetching wine from a krater in the center: at left, a man; a youth leaning on
his stick is molested by the man. At right: a naked youth with an oinochoe; a
man with a drinking horn. B: similar, but more fragmentary: a krater in the
center; at left, a male (foot only) and a bearded man with an oinochoe turning
to a companion. At right: a naked boy turning away from the krater; a man (both
fragmentary).
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: Χσαν[θ]ες : καλος{1}. A new fr. shows other letters which are not
explained in GB 9: τ(ι)(α)γ^ν[---]{2}. A: the man at left: Με[..]αντετε{3}. The
youth with the stick: Διοδορος. The naked youth: Nαυβιος. The man with the
drinking horn: Αντ[ιμαχ]ος{4}. B: the man with the oinochoe (to left of his left
leg): Κραλαισχος, for Καλ[λ]αισχρος. The nude boy: hιππονι[κος].
CAVI Footnotes: {1} for the name see LGPN ii and IG i/3. 404, line 3 (434/2; a Delian). {2}
see CVA, GB 9, pl. 51,1. {3} the reading improved from the new frs. (see GB 9),
badly miswritten. Beazley's old suggestion [Ευα]ντετε is now superseded. {4}
this restoration is further discussed in ARV[2] 1564: since this is a man, he
cannot be the same as the youth so named on the outside of a cup by the
Ambrosios Painter in Villa Giulia (ARV[2] 173/5). The name appears also without
kalos on a third cup by the Ambrosios Painter, Acr. ii 58 (174/16), and the
Villa Giulia cup may have him with kalos on the Int. Antimachos is found on
several cups of the period (see ARV[2] under the kalos); Diodoros is on Louvre G
58, by Smikros, and on Munich 1416 (BF); the rest do not appear on other vases;
Naubios is a new name. Beazley has further discussion of such names on vases of
this period; generally speaking, they are ancestors of the Socratic and Platonic
circle (Hipponikos, Kallaischros. See also Immerwahr (1984), n. 23).
CAVI Comments: + a fr. ex Leipzig (see CVA, GB 9). + three frs. of the Ext. ex Leipzig,
unpublished according to ARV[2]. For the inscriptions, see, beside CB, CVA, pp.
2-3 and 105.
