CAVI Lemma: Fr. of large pot or pithos{1}. From Athens. Unattributed. Sixth{2}.
CAVI Subject: Undecorated.
CAVI Inscriptions: In the center of the disk, Gr.: Βλοσυς.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} roughly cut into the shape of a disk. Probably prehistoric, Lang. {2} so
Lang; V.&S. say that late seventh or early fifth centt. cannot be excluded, as
the date is based on letter forms; see the comment above. {3} for the numbers of
the letter forms, see the chart in AttScr (1990), xxii-xxiii.
CAVI Comments: Name-on-sherd. - Letter forms are given differently in V.&S. and Lang
(1976):(3) V.&S.: beta 1. Lambda 1 with curved short hasta. Omicron S 1. Sigma
near S 1 and S 2. Upsilon near S 4. Lang (1976), pl. 8: beta 3, open at bottom.
Lambda 2, slightly backward. Omicron S 12. Sigma 1, once with attempted curve S
1). Upsilon S 2. Since the date is entirely dependent on letter forms, it
remains uncertain. -V.&S. derive the (unknown) name from βλοσυρος `virile' and
refer to the known name Βλοσων with reff.
CAVI Number: 0510
