CAVI Lemma: FR. OF RF STAMNOS. PELEUS PAINTER (POLYGNOTAN). THIRD QUARTER FIFTH.
CAVI Subject: A: AT LEFT, HANDS HOLDING FLUTES; IN THE MIDDLE: UPPER PART OF A DANCING
DWARF; AT RIGHT, A RAISED ARM WITH A KROTALON.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: ABOVE HIS HEAD AND THE RAISED ARM: [Hιππο]κλειδης{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} THIS IS THE FORM GENERALLY GIVEN, BUT WHY NOT: [Ιππο]κλειδης? PERHAPS
BECAUSE THE POLYGNOTAN WORKSHOP RESISTED THE IONIC ALPHABET; SEE ATTSCR (1990),
111. A BIT LOWER, THERE IS A TRACE WHERE I READ A DOUBTFUL ALPHA FROM THE PHOTO,
BUT I AM NOT AT ALL SURE THAT THIS IS A LETTER.
CAVI Comments: THIS IS THE (STAGE) NAME OF A REAL DWARF (BEAZLEY), AFTER THE FAMOUS
HIPPOKLEIDES OF HERODOTEAN FAME. DIFFERENTLY LIPPOLD. FOR DANCING DWARFS SEE
ROBERTSON (1979) 130.
