CAVI Lemma: RF BELL KRATER. CASSEL PAINTER. THIRD QUARTER FIFTH. CA. 440.
CAVI Subject: A: CADMUS AND THE SNAKE. B: HERMES AND ATHENA.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: ABOVE CADMUS' HEAD AND ON ITS RIGHT: καλος (ALL LETTERS ARE
IDIOSYNCRATIC){1}. TO LEFT OF HARMONIA'S FACE, AT SOME DISTANCE: καλη(.),
RETR.{2}. UNDER THE FOOT: GR. τι[μα] IN THE CYPRIOTE SYLLABARY.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} THE LETTERS COULD ALSO BE INTERPRETED AS [Κ]αδμος, ALTHOUGH I THOUGHT
THIS UNLIKELY WHEN I SAW THE VASE. THE WRITING SEEMS ALMOST CURSIVE. {2} THERE
IS THE BEGINNING OF A DIAGONAL STROKE AFTER καλη. THERE IS ALSO A DOT AFTER THE
ALPHA, WHICH IS PROBABLY ACCIDENTAL.
