CAVI Subject: A: betweeen trees, a bearded man draws water from a well with a kados. B:
palaestra: at left a small bearded man works with a pick axe; at right, a large
bearded man sprinkles water from a kados. Under the handle B/A: a pillar; above
it, sandals and, separately, aryballos and strigil hung up; at right, also under
a handle, a large wash basin on a fluted stand.
CAVI Inscriptions: On the pillar, vertically: kalos{1}. On the rim of the basin, horizontally:
kalos{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} so L.-H. in the text; the phs. in `Images' are unclear as to individual
letters.
CAVI Comments: Listed in `Images' as Küsnacht, Private. - L.-H. thinks rightly that the man
drawing water and the small man with the pick axe are slaves; she wonders
whether the large man sprinkling is not foreign too. [Are all three, despite the
difference in size, slaves preparing the palaestra, which is indicated under one
handle?]
