CAVI Lemma: Fr. of BF cup. From Athens. Unattributed. Third quarter sixth.
CAVI Subject: Int.: inscription only.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: around the margin of the inner circle, facing out, Dip.: hιερα :* τ̣ες
Α̣[θ]εναας vac.{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the inscription takes up 4/5 of the circle. {2} add 1922 -1926, etc.
Beazley thinks they are dedications, but I wonder if they do not rather indicate
ownership in the sanctuary, the cups being used in some ceremony.
CAVI Comments: In ABV Beazley compares the position of the inscription with the dedications
Acr. 1813 and 1931(2), with Vatican 456 and a fr. in Florence, which have χαιρε
και πιει, and with a fr. in Cab. Med., which has the signature Χελις :*
εποιεσεν. - A bespoken piece.
CAVI Number: 1104
