CAVI Lemma: Large lekane (see Sparkes–Talcott). From Athens. Unattributed. Second quarter
fifth (Talcott, Lang).
CAVI Subject: No figured decoration.
CAVI Inscriptions: On the bottom, in a grid of large squares, Gr.: θεο Θερικλες καλος θεοι
Πυ̣χσονος(?). Τιμοχσενος καλος. Χαρμιδες καλος.
CAVI Comments: A kind of stoich., determined by the squares. The grid no doubt for a board
game, see AttScr (1990), 105 n. 36. Lang says about the second name: "The name
..., which should perhaps be read as Πρ̣[α]ξων, is more probably genitive and
gives the paternity, whether physical or figurative, of Therikles." Entered in
LGPN ii as Πυξων. - For the invocation θεοι see R. Pounder's dissertation on
this subject.
CAVI Number: 0340
