CAVI Collection: London E 109.
CAVI Lemma: RF cup. From Nola. Meleager Painter. First quarter fourth.
CAVI Subject: Int.: Triton. A: athletes and seated woman. B: youth (preserved).
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: Nηρευς(?).
CAVI Comments: Inscribed? C. Smith says that Panofka thought he could read Nηρευς, but Smith does not have this reading. Beazley says that the vase had been cleaned. Panofka's reading (which I have not seen) may have been imaginary, or false, especially since the figure is Triton. Beazley also says the woman with the athletes on A may represent the phyle.
