CAVI Lemma: BG skyphos (glaux). From Tarentum. Unattributed. Second quarter fifth.
475-450 (?) (Johnston).
CAVI Subject: No figured decoration.
CAVI Inscriptions: On the base, Gr.: ΑVΤΟΜ(1)ΕΡΑΜΕΜ(1)Σ(2)ΕΘΕΡΕΣ(2)ΚΑΜΕΨΡΕΕΣ{2}.
CAVI Comments: The vase is perhaps not Attic. The letters marked {1} are = M with the second
vertical shorter than the first; those marked {2} are three-stroke sigmas. CVA
says the inscription is in the language of the early inhabitants of Tarentum,
while written in Greek letters. Gill in Ant. thinks the vase was made in a
Lucanian workshop. An owner's Gr. under the foot made before firing (Johnston).
