CAVI Lemma: Plain lip cup. From Orvieto. Probably Xenokles Painter{1}. Xenokles, potter. Third quarter sixth. 550-530.
CAVI Subject: Undecorated.
CAVI Inscriptions: Handle zone: A: Χσε[νοκλε]ς : εποιε(σ)[ε](ν). B: Χεσνοιε(σ)ενο, or Χεσνοιε(ς) ενο.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Beazley in ABV notes that the signatures on the undecorated Xenokles cups are `in the same style' [as the four cups attributed to one hand, ABV 184/1-4].
CAVI Comments: B plays upon the signature: mock inscription. On the handwriting of the Xenokles signatures, see AttScr. Amyx (1962) thinks the writing is in the typical hand of other Xenokles signatures, but garbled; he suggests: A: Χσε(νοκλες) : εποιεσ[ε]ν. B: Χεσν[οκλες : επ]οιεσεν. Amyx speaks of a theta, which he thinks is used as punctuation. I do not understand these readings.@@[[Diameter: 144.]]
