CAVI Subject: Erotic conversations: Int.: a man and a seated woman. A: a youth and a woman;
a woman and a seated man; a youth and a woman. B: similar.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: to left of the man's legs: Αντιφανες. To right of his head: καλιτος{1}.
I.e., Αντιφανες | καλλιστος intended. Behind the woman: καλε. A: Nικοτρατε for
Nικοστρατε. Nικον (youth). Κελιτραστε for Καλλιστρατε. Ευκλες (man). Πελεα for
Πελεια. Nικοθενες for Nικοσθενες (youth). B: Χαρινιδες. Αφρο[δ]ισια.
Διονισιγενες for Διονυσιγενες{2}. One girl is uninscribed. Λρακιας{3}. Nαυκλεα
καλ[ε] for Nαυκλεια καλ[ε]{1}. On the underside of one handle, Gr.: [hι]ερον
εποιεσεν{4}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} κ[---]τος, Richter. καλιτος, de Witte (1837), 7/12, according to Beazley
in ARV[2], who thinks the inscription may have been complete in his time.
Richter (1917a), however, denies this. Portrait-kalos as is also the Nαυκλεια
καλ[ε] on B. {2} Threatte (1980), 261. {3} probably for Larkias, though name is
unknown (but Lakris occurs); perhaps short for Lakriteides, a Eumolpid
(Richter). For parallels to the other names see Richter–Hall. {4} [h]ι̣ερον
εποιεσεν, AJA; [hι]ερον Richter–Hall, ARV[2] and Kunisch.
