CAVI Lemma: Fr. of RF amphora. From Naukratis. Unattributed{1}. Last quarter sixth.
520-510.
CAVI Subject: A: an erotic scene: head and shoulders of a bearded man holding a cock{2}.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: to right of his face, facing him: [--](ε)χσις.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} ARV[2]: of the same type as those of the Pioneer Group, but the style of
the drawing is not `Pioneer'. {2} Beazley in CVA, GB 9, following Rumpf. This
supersedes the different description in CVA, GB 3.
CAVI Comments: Lorimer suggests [Αλ]ε̣χσις. Beazley, in CVA, GB 3, suggests a kalos-name
such as that given by Lorimer, or Δεξις, or Αποληξις. But Rumpf's interpretation
in Gnomon suggests that this is the man's name. The epsilon is smeared.
