CAVI Subject: CONTEST OF ATHENA AND POSEIDON. FR. A: ATHENA; OLIVE TREE. FR. C: MALE GOD;
HILL AND PLANT; MAN'S CALF.
CAVI Inscriptions: FR. A: TO ATHENA'S RIGHT: Αθηνα[ια]. BELOW THIS, TWO-LINER: Ευε[μ]πο[ρος] |
εγ̣[ραφσεν(?)]. FR. C: TO RIGHT OF THE GOD, ABOVE THE PLANT, TWO-LINER:
ε[ποιησεν] | Μικιω[ν].
CAVI Comments: FRS. A - E. I FOLLOW ARV[2], WHERE THE SIGNATURES ARE RESTORED FROM THE
SIMILAR LEKANIS ATHENS, PNYX 124 (P 349) [ARV[2] 1341/2] WHICH HAS: Μικι[ων]
εποιη[σεν]. BEAZLEY APPARENTLY SEPARATES THE NAME OF ATHENA FROM THE SIGNATURES,
WHILE LANGLOTZ, BECAUSE OF THE PROXIMITY (AND A NEAR-STOICH. ARRANGEMENT OF THE
LINES), HAD RESTORED A DEDICATION: Αθηνα[ιαι ανεθηκεν] | ευε[μ]πο[ρος· ο δεινα]
| επ̣[οιησεν]. HE ALSO CONSIDERED MIKION THE PAINTER, BUT THAT IS SUPERSEDED BY
THE PNYX FR. NOTE THAT A THIRD GROUP OF FRS., ACR. 1051 (ARV[2] 1341), WHICH IS
SAID BY BEAZLEY TO BE IN A DIFFERENT STYLE, HAS Μικιω[ν] AND BELOW IT γραψας;
BEAZLEY THINKS THIS MAY HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED BY ανεθηκεν OR THE LIKE. IT DOES NOT
QUITE FIT THE RESTORATION OF ACR. 594.
