CAVI Lemma: Fr. of RF cup. Epiktetos (Bothmer). Python, potter. Late sixth or early fifth
(?). 520-510 (Giroux).
CAVI Subject: A: at left, part of a handle palmette; part of a sponge hung up; at right,
the leg of an athlete.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: Πυθον.
CAVI Comments: Ex Campana 12,135. Bothmer compares London E 38, ARV[2] 72/16, signed by
Python and Epiktetos, the only other signature of Python not on a foot profile
and the only one not on a cup by Douris. [Also the only one which has the verb
(εποιεσεν).] Giroux questions whether the cases without verb are signatures; on
our fr. there is a blank space below the name of 1.3 cm. But I think Bothmer is
right. This must be very late Epiktetos and very early Python.
