CAVI Lemma: FOOT OF SMALL LEKANE{1}. FROM ATHENS. UNATTRIBUTED. SECOND QUARTER FIFTH
(LANG).
CAVI Subject: NO FIGURED DECORATION.
CAVI Inscriptions: ON THE BOTTOM, GR. IN THE CENTER, CIRCULAR: Σοσιας καταπυγον. ON THE RIM: Hος
φ(η)σιν Hο γραφσας.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} SEE SPARKES–TALCOTT (1970).
CAVI Comments: I FOLLOW LANG'S READING. THE GR. HAS BEEN READ: Σοσιας καταπυγον, Ε[υφρον]ιος
φησιν Hο γραφσας, ALTHOUGH THE INSCRIPTION IS PROBABLY TOO LATE FOR THE VASE
PAINTER. LANG HAS NOW DISPOSED OF THIS. NO DOUBT SOSIAS IS NOT THE WELL-KNOWN
POTTER EITHER. - BEAZLEY COMPARES [Αλ]καιος καταπυ[γον] ON AGORA P 5169 AND SAYS
BOTH THIS AND THE SOSIAS INSCRIPTIONS ARE NEAR PHERECRATEANS. HETA IS OF NORMAL
SHAPE BUT THE ETA IN φησιν RESEMBLES AN `ARGIVE' LAMBDA AND HAS BEEN COMPARED
WITH THE SOUTH ITALIAN ROUGH BREATHING BY M. BURZACHECHI, MON. LINC. 1961,
345-47, BUT THIS SEEMS DOUBTFUL. - A VERY SIMILAR GR. ON A VASE FROM CUMAE,
UNLOCATED, PUBLISHED BY GABRICI, MON. ANT. 22 (1913) 459, Q.V. [[CAVI 7840]].
