CAVI Lemma: RF cup. Makron. Hieron, potter. Ca. 480. Hauptwerk II (Kunisch).
CAVI Subject: Int.: young komast to right. A: three komasts, that in thecenter with a lyre.
B: three komasts, that in the center playing the flutes.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: to left of his back: Φυρμο(ς).
CAVI Comments: Type B. Beazley says the name was given in Heydemann's catalogue, but has
since been overlooked; the position is unusual, but since there is no καλος, it
is probably the youth's name. Phyrmos occurs in Anth. Plan. 322 and Phyrme in
CIG 3.6205 [the examples are taken from Pape]. Oliver denies that the parallel
for Phyrmos is valid, although he agrees with the reading. φυρμος means a
mixture or confusion: Φυρομαχος is a common Athenian name. The name only here in
LGPN ii.
