CAVI Subject: A: Heracles and Cycnus: at left, bottom part of woman to right (Artemis?);
Heracles and Athena, attacking to right; Cycnus falling; Ares attacking to left;
Aphrodite to left. B: very fragmentary: athletes excercizing (5 figures): parts
of two athletes to left, the left one with a pick; part of a flautist to left;
part of an acontist (Antias); traces of another acontist (s[--] or [--]s).
CAVI Inscriptions: A: between Heracles' legs: Λεαγρος | καλος. To right of Athena's helmet,
stoich. two-liner in larger letters: Ευφρονιος | εγραφσεν{2}. To right of her
face: Αθενα. [I think there was room to write Αθεναια.] Κυκνος, retr. [Said to
be above his head.] To left of helmet crest: Αρες, retr. To left of Aphrodite's
mouth: Αφροδιτε, retr. B: one athlete: [Αν]τιας{3}. Another: --]ς, or Σ[--{4}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Add.[2] lists as Fort Worth, Hunt; Bea. Arch. as New York, Sotheby;
`Euphronios', as New York, Leon Levy and Shelby White (so also Robertson,
Robertson (1992), ). {2} according to Bothmer; part visible in photo, p. 9. {3}
so Robertson, after Bothmer. But Euphr. has [Α]ν[τιας](?). This letter shows in
the photo on p. 101, surrounded by black surface, near the head of a javelin
thrower. {4} Cody only says that the second name begins with sigma. The
inscriptions name the two acontists. Omitted in `Euphr.'
CAVI Comments: Ex Dallas, TX, Nelson Bunker Hunt 6{1}. Once loaned to Malibu. Ex New York
market (Sotheby). Cartwheel theta. The writing is in the firmer handwriting, as
the NY krater.
