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!
