CAVI Lemma: Fr. of RF calyx krater. From Athens, Agora N 10:1. Unattributed. Last quarter
fifth. Probably late fifth (Moore).
CAVI Subject: At mid-height, on the extreme left, a draped forearm and hand with spread
fingers of what Moore and the card think may have been a child. Most of the fr.
is a BG area.
CAVI Inscriptions: At the very bottom, horizontal: [--(?)]θυμη̣[--(?)]{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Moore reports that the record card suggests θυμε[λη], the platform for an
altar [which is not shown in the fr. as preserved.] But the sketch shows the
last letter as the upper part of a vertical (the lower part being lost in the
break) without any horizontal attached to it. Unfortunately, I cannot see the
stroke clearly in the ph. The position of the inscription in relation to the
small hand does not make it likely that we have here Θυμη̣[δια], the name of a
maenad on Boston 00.352 (CAVI 2692) and Agora P 9189 (CAVI 400). [Ευ]θυμι̣[α]
would also fit the traces, and there are other possibilities. Was the `child'
standing at ground level?
CAVI Comments: The inscription is in red.
CAVI Number: 318a
AVI Bibliography: Museum record card as reported by Moore. — Moore (1997), 181/284, pl. 38
(shows most of inscription); sketch on p. 181.
