  • CAVI Lemma: RF cup. Brygos Painter. First quarter fifth. Ca. 480 (Williams). Late (Beazley, Robertson).
  • CAVI Subject: Int.: a warrior advancing; at left, an arrow flies past at knee level; at right, a small stone is about to strike the shield. Ext.: plain.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: to warrior's upper left, ending at his head: hε παις. To warrior's upper right, starting near his face: καλ̣ε.
  • CAVI Comments: Extremely sloppy letters, some disjointed, not all of which are recognizable in the photo. h^ε: a spear shaft intervenes. The lambda is in a break, although Williams gives it as complete. He gives parallels for warriors under fire, esp. from arrows. An extraordinary inscription, given the scene!
