CAVI Lemma: RF Nolan amphora From Vulci. Oionokles Painter. Second quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: A: Theseus and the Minotaur. B: Minos (old king with a scepter) to left, with
outstretched hands.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: beside Theseus, as if proceding from his mouth: Ε v. ΠΛΙN, perhaps = ε
π(α)ι(ς){1}. Below, between the bodies: hΕΠΛΙN, retr., i.e.: hε π(α)ι(ς). B:
from the mouth, slightly upward: ΕΠΛΙN, retr.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the third letter is written on Theseus' left arm.
CAVI Comments: The information on the inscriptions in CVA is defective. There is no female
pictured: could the reference be to Ariadne (two of the inscriptions may be
utterances)? Was the painter a semi-literate (see London E 301)? Alpha lacks the
cross stroke. Sideways sigma.
