this fountain hydria which was published in Antike Denkmäler and was said to be

CAVI Comments: For the question of the social status of the women see now Hannestad (1984),
252ff. Milne and many others had considered them hetaerae and thus perhaps
slaves. Further: Olmos (1986), 112 n. 2; Milne AJA 46 (1942, 218ff: hetaerae.
Bechtel, Frauennamen 79.32 (noble women). Further bibl. (Williams, Hannestad,
Olmos).
