CAVI Lemma: RF skyphos. Makron. First quarter fifth. 490-480. Hauptwerk II (Kunisch).
CAVI Subject: A: Briseis led away: Agamemnon leading Briseis to left; Talthybios with
kerykeion to left; Diomedes to left but looking back; tree. B: Mission to
Achilles(1): Ajax to right, leaning on his stick; Odysseus, armed, to right,
leaning on two spears; Achilles seated to left; Phoenix to left, leaning on his
stick; under the handle, stool with cushion.
CAVI Inscriptions: On handle A/B, [on the left hasta, in the BG area], Gr.: hιερον επο{2}. A:
Αγ[α]μεσμο[ν]. Θαλ(θ)υβιος{3}. Διομεδες. B: Αιας. Ὀλυττευς. [Α]χιλλευς.
Φοινι[χ]ς.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Heberdey argues that B continues A, which would differ much from Homer.
{2} so Kunisch in cat.; on p. 8 n. 35 K. notes that Pottier and Beazley differ
in the rendering of the sigma (P.: three-stroke), B.: four-stroke), but that he
himself could read nothing, because of the `starken Ausplatzungen' of the BG.
The ph. on pl. 110 does not show anything clearly. {3} the theta drawn = closed
heta. Kretschmer makes much of a supposed reading Θαλhυβιος. See Kretschmer
(1894), 150 and 231 (in the latter passage a linguistic explanation is given,
which I would question; see also Threatte (1980), p. 460.)
CAVI Comments: + unpublished fr. from the Louvre. For the handles (of cup-type) see Kunisch,
p. 15. The inscriptions here done mainly from the sketches on p. 195 of Kunisch.
Briseis is apparently not named. Probably Attic alphabet. Four-stroke sigma in
the signature (ARV[2] and Kunisch, p. 8).
