CAVI Lemma: RF Nolan amphora Briseis Painter. First quarter fifth. Ca. 480 (CVA).
CAVI Subject: A: Zeus pursuing Ganymede. B: Bald man with a staff.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: to left of Ganymede's body: nonsense: γλιοσκγιο.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Serbeti reads: γυιοσκαι ο. Gerhard had read: Αλκαιος καλος. My reading is
probably the right one.
CAVI Comments: Beazley in JHS wrongly read: λυιοσ καλος; he rejected the earlier reading
Alkaios. Nonsense typical of the Briseis Painter; see AttScr (1990), 89 and n.
38.
