CAVI Lemma: Frs. of BF phormiskos{1}. Unattributed. First quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: Fr. a: at left, a huge naked male on one knee, with an object (a cup?) in his
hands; black and white stripes representing rocks; a ship, with a seated bearded
man; another rock on which appears (part of) a large siren. At the extreme left,
drapery of a female(?) figure. Fr. b: ornament only.
CAVI Inscriptions: Fr. a: nonsense: behind the giant's back: imitation letters: [--]υ(τ)σι(2);
to right of his chest: υτσ(ο){3}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the shape was identified by Bothmer, Mary Moore and A.J. Clark. Not an
oinochoe as Watzinger thought. {2} my readings from the photo in Watzinger.
υτσο, Watzinger; υτσε, Fellmann; υτσϲ, Touchefeu-Meynier. This could represent
the name of Odysseus (Burow). I think it is probably nonsense. The tau resembles
an Ionic gamma. {3} the omicron open at the top.
CAVI Comments: = S./10 1507a-b. Two frs. Burow thinks with Fellmann that the rocks separate
the Polphemus adventure from that of the sirens; Touchefeu-Meynier had
interpreted the whole as the Polyphemus adventure, but that does not fit the
siren.
