- CAVI Lemma: BF/WG mastoid skyphos. Related to Sappho Painter and Diosphos Painter;
Pistias Class M (Kurtz). Last quarter sixth. Ca. 515 (Moon).
- CAVI Subject: A: an old man, in himation and with a sakkos in his hair, seated and playing
the lyre (kithara) while singing. B: similar.
- CAVI Inscriptions: Nonsense: imitation letters: A: from the mouth, in a large downward curve:
(h)(σ)ο(θ)(ι)π(.)ποχσι. B: a similar inscription{1}.
- CAVI Footnotes: {1} Lissarrague gives a longer inscription than the above, hence it may be of
B: hh(δ)(h)ιπισοχσ(.)χσι.
- CAVI Comments: The letters are exceedingly sloppy and often only approximate. Moon rightly
thinks the inscription imitates a song, whence he calls the figure a poet.
Moon's picture of A is better than his picture of B.
