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.
