Last Recorded Collection: Athens, Agora Museum: P25960
Publication Record: Hesperia, The Journal of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens: 27 (1958) 159, NOTE 31 (NOT ILLUSTRATED) The Athenian Agora, Results of Excavations conducted by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens: 30, PL.151.1606
CAVI Lemma: Fr. of RF cup. From Athens, Agora M 18. Painter of Agora Chairias Cups{1}.
Last quarter sixth. Ca. 510-500 (Moore).
CAVI Subject: Int.: satyr carrying a large column krater.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: above the satyr, in a curve, upside down: Χαιρι(α)(ς) [---]?(2)
CAVI Footnotes: {1} my attribution after the statement in ARV[2]: "The handwriting is the
same as in [Agora P 24,102, 24,115, 24,116, 24,315, which are by this painter]."
But Beazley did not attribute the fr. to this painter in his publications,
although Hesp. 27 states that he attributed it [verbally?] to the painter of P
24,102. For Moore's discussion of Beazley's attribution and her own indecision
see above, D]. {2} positioned to avoid retr.? There may have been a kalos in the
missing part (Beazley).
CAVI Comments: Moore says the vase is not in ARV[2], but it is listed in 1570/10 as
unattributed but with the handwriting being the same as on 3 vases by the
Painter of the Agora Chairias cups. Did Beazley think that the inscription might
be put on by someone other than the painter of the figured decoration? According
to Moore, H.A. Thompson (1958), 159 n. 31, said that Beazley attributed the fr.
to the painter of P 24,102 (i.e. the Painter of the Agora Chairias Cups). [Did
T. get this verbally from Beazley?]. Moore compares the vase to vases of the
Wider Circle of the Nikosthenes Painter, but does not give an attribution. Note
that the inscription is put on in an odd way: upside down or retr. (it is hard
to decide; the only certain thing is that the last letter from left to right is
a chi). The sketch on p. 347 is inaccurate.
