CAVI Lemma: FR. FROM BASE OF BG SKYPHOS. FROM ATHENS. UNATTRIBUTED. THIRD QUARTER
FIFTH{1}.
CAVI Subject: UNDECORATED.
CAVI Inscriptions: ON THE BOTTOM, IN TWO LINES, GR.:(2) [κα]τ̣α̣πυγ̣[ον] AND Αριστομε[νες].
CAVI Footnotes: {1} LANG; AROUND THE MIDDLE, V.&S. {2} THE LINES SOMEWHAT SEPARATED, WITH THE
FIRST HORIZONTAL, THE SECOND CURVED AND NEARER THE RIM.
CAVI Comments: NUMEROUS SCRATCHES OVER THE WORD καταπυγων SUGGESTED TO V.&S. THAT AN ATTEMPT
WAS MADE TO ERASE THE WORD. I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT THE WORDS ARE ONE
INSCRIPTION. IT COULD BE THAT WE HAVE A KALOS-INSCRIPTION FOR ARISTOMENES, WHILE
SOMEONE ADDED THE PEJORATIVE, WHICH WAS THEN SCRATCHED OUT. ARISTOMENES OCCURS
AS KALOS ON A RF LEKYTHOS, SYRACUSE 21130, ARV[2] 535/1 AND 1167, BY THE
ARISTOMENES PAINTER WHO RECALLS THE ALKIMACHOS PAINTER; PROBABLY LATE IN THE
SECOND QUARTER OF THE FIFTH CENT., HENCE NOT MUCH, IF ANY, EARLIER THAN THE GR.
(WHICH BEAZLEY DOES NOT MENTION). - MIXED ALPHABET?
CAVI Number: 0351
