CAVI Lemma: RF stamnos. From Vulci. Hephaisteion Painter. First quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: A: Medea and a daughter of Pelias, with the ram in a cauldron. B: boy
betweeen two youths.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: above the ram: καλος{1}. B: to right of the left youth: καλος. To right of
the boy: Nικο[στρατος]{2}. To left of the right youth: καλ[ο]ς, retr. Under
foot, in a half circle on the reserved resting surface, facing out, Gr.:
ligature ΑΛΘ. λυδια μεζω : ι : ε : λεπαστιδες : κ : ζ : [[ΑΛΘ lig.]]. See Hackl
(1909), no. 592, pl. 3, and Johnston (1979), 88/2B 14; 155/6F 1; 166/F 4; cf.
pp. 225 and 231.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} so ARV[2]; κ[α]λος, Furtw. {2} Beazley prints: Nικο[στρατος] ...,
presumably to indicate that a καλος may be lost.
CAVI Comments: For Nikostratos see Berlin 2184; Beazley, ARV[2] 1603, lists him as a
kalos-name here. λεπαστις· οινοχοη και ειδος κυλικος, Hsch. Attic alphabet for
Dipp.; Ionic for the Grr. Furtw. thought the Gr. incised before firing but this
is rightly denied by Hackl and Johnston. Threatte (1980), 35/25 notes that this
and the Gr. on Oxford 1965.121 (stamnos by the Dokimasia Painter) are by the
same hand; the date may be as late as early fourth (cf. Kirchner (1948), 15),
but see Threatte (1980), 116 [The Grr. are not Attic, I think, and the date is
not so late]. -Further: *Johnston (1979), 90/2B 14; 155/6F 1; 166/22F 4; cf. pp.
5 and 25. P. 5: Furtwängler stated that the Gr. was incised before firing when
clay was leather hard; Hackl denied this and J. agrees from the ph. in Kirchner.
J. thinks no mercantile Gr. was incised before firing. P. 25: J. discusses the
spelling of the Gr. The Gr. is also discussed on pp. 194, 225 and 231.
