CAVI Lemma: BF aryballos. From Attica. Nearchos. Second quarter sixth. 560-550.
CAVI Subject: Handle plate, front: three satyrs masturbating. Left side: Perseus. Right
side: Hermes. Rim: battle of pygmies and cranes.
CAVI Inscriptions: Handle plate, front: behind the upper body of the left satyr: χαιρει. In
front: Δοφιος{1}. I. e., Δοφιος | χαιρει. Above the head of the middle satyr:
Τερπεκηλος{2}. In front of the right satyr, not facing: Φσολας{3}. Behind his
upper body: hαοι. To right of his legs: λει and (separated by the tail): βρε.
Under the plate, Gr. in the black glaze: Nεαρχος | εποιεσεν με{4}. On the left
side of the handle plate, to left of the body: Περσε|ευς, retr. At right:
hευ|σετι{5}. On the right side of the handle plate: in the upper left: τει.
Between Hermes' legs: hοδι. On his lower right, down: hερμες{6}. On the rim,
scattered: ριο, retr. θ[--]. αυασ, retr. κρο. καλ, retr. χοσ. αρυσ. ρορυ. θεν.
ακι. ϙε. θοι, retr. βαυσ, retr. πυ. οαι{7}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} cf. δεφομαι (Beazley (1931–2)). {2} cf. Il. 5.759-60: οι δε εκηλοι
τερπονται (Richter as a second suggestion, accepted by Beazley in AJA). {3} from
ψωλή. {4} Beazley originally doubted this signature [probably because the
incision caused much flaking of the glaze], but later recanted; see JHS 52.
Cohen points out that the BG segment under the handle was planned for an
inscription (which was executed after firing); this BG segment imitates
Corinthian practice. {5} hευς ετι, "noble Perseus furthermore" (Richter), but
Beazley rightly considers the letters meaningless (BSA 32). {6} hερμες hοδιτες
has occurred to me, but the letters are in the wrong sequence and the last
letter seems to be an iota. τῃ Ερμης οδι (Richter) is hardly right. {7} Hampe's
attempt to read these inscriptions as the cries of cranes (cf. Il. 3,1 ff.) is
not convincing.
