CAVI Lemma: RF ARYBALLOS. FROM ATHENS, STADIUM STREET (ROYAL STABLES). DOURIS. DOURIS,

CAVI Subject: TWO EROTES FLYING FROM EITHER SIDE TOWARD A BOY FLEEING TO RIGHT; THAT ON THE
LEFT CARRIES A WHIP.
CAVI Inscriptions: ON THE SHOULDER, ABOVE THE LEFT EROS, LEFT-ALIGNED HORIZONTAL TWO-LINER,
GR.:{1}. Δορις | εποιεσεν. STARTING TO RIGHT OF THE HANDLE, IN A LARGE DOUBLE
CURVED ABOVE THE WING OF THE LEFT EROS AND TO RIGHT OF HIS HEAD, GR. [SO STATED
IN DELT., P. 108]: Ασοποδορω Hε λεγυθος. PROBABLY WRITTEN AFTER THE SIGNATURE,
BUT BY THE SAME HAND: I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER BEFORE OR AFTER FIRING, BUT IT
CLEARLY GOES THROUGH THE GLAZE. ROBERTSON (1992), SAYS OF THE SECOND INSCRIPTIN
THAT IT IS `PAINTED BEFORE FIRING'. THE PUBLICATION OF THE VASE IN DELT. 11
(1927-28) 91-110, STATES ON P. 108 THAT THE OWNER'S INSCRIPTION IS INCISED; I
CANNOT FIND A STATEMENT THERE ABOUT THE SIGNATURE. TIVERIOS CALLS THE VASE A
BESPOKEN PIECE.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} SEE COHEN: BOTH INSCRIPTIONS ARE GRR. (BEFORE FIRING?); BEAZLEY IN ARV[2]
DOES NOT MENTION THIS. THE INSCRIPTIONS LOOK LIKE GRR., BUT THIS FACT IS NOT
MENTIONED BY B.-O, ALTHOUGH ON P. 45 SHE SAYS THAT THE INSCRIPTIONS WERE DONE
BEFORE FIRING.
CAVI Comments: FOR THE EXCAVATIONS UNDER THE ROYAL STABLES, SEE BCH 71-72 (1947-48) 390. THE
VASE WAS FOUND WITH A NUMBER OF LESSER LEKYTHOI, ALL 10-15 YEARS LATER: AN
HEIRLOOM. ASOPODOROS IS A NOT UNCOMMON NAME IN ATTICA; SEE LGPN II. - ATTIC
ALPHABET. DOTTED DELTA. TAILED RHO.
