CAVI Lemma: RF lekythos. Bowdoin Painter (?){1}. Second quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: Satyr with a thyrsus holding out a kantharos from which wine is spilling
(libation).
CAVI Inscriptions: Nonsense: to right of his beard: πππππυ{2}. Below the end of the thyrsus
stalk, to right of the satyr's legs: γε(.)(υ)(σ){3}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} so Beazley in ARV[2]; but a note from Cahn in AK 16 (1973) 59 n. 15 says
that he has abandoned the attribution [which had appeared in Auktion 22]. I too
would be doubtful of the attribution as the hand-writing differs from that of
the Bowdoin Painter. {2} to the edge of the photo in AK; the inscription may
continue. {3} unclear in the photo.
CAVI Comments: Ex Philadelphia Market. Ex Basel Market (M.M.). The location of the vase is
given in ARV[2] 1665. Pi with verticals of equal length.
