CAVI Lemma: Cup (Hatzipolakis, Isidoros, "clay pot," Lapatin). From Salamis, Peristeria
cave. Unattributed. Contemporary with Euripides (pot); second century (Gr.).
CAVI Inscriptions: Gr.: either ΕΥΡΙΠΠ or ΕΥΡΙΠΙ.
CAVI Comments: The Gr. is said to be much later than the pot. Clinton, relying on the first
reading as reported to him, suggests Ευριππ[η], for which see LGPN ii. This is
denied by H. and I. Phelps points out that the cave today is much too
low-ceilinged and narrow for human use. The cave was first associated with
Euripides by Sylvia Benton and so is the inscription by Lapatin and others. This
is highly speculative.
CAVI Number: 7423
