CAVI Lemma: Handleless stamnos in Six' technique. Unattributed. Late sixth (Ede).
CAVI Subject: Continuous: two pairs of satyr and billy goat to right of a tree: billy goat
to right and satyr to left approaching each other; satyr buggering a billy goat
to right.
CAVI Inscriptions: Nonsense: between the goat and satyr who approach each other, at mid-height,
starting from the satyr: κλ(.)ε, retr.{1}. Between the backs of the two satyrs
are two inscriptions: along the right arm of the satyr at left, diagonally
downward: οχι. Between the two at head hight, horizontal: α̣εγ{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} I cannot make out the third letter which is miswritten. Johnston says
someone might suggest κλυε, `listen', although the upsilon "is not quite written
as it should"; he thinks it is nonsense. {2} I am quite uncertain of the alpha;
Johnston reads καλ (but the last letter should be an Attic gamma, since the
lambda in the the first inscription is Attic). The second inscription is
imagined by Johnston as ο[υ]χι, `not', but he obviously considers all
inscriptions nonsense.
CAVI Comments: There could be a fourth inscription to the right of the second goat (of whch
area I have no picture), in which case there would be one for each figure.
