CAVI Lemma: RF cup. Apollodoros. Last quarter sixth. Ca. 500 (Giroux).
CAVI Subject: Int.: a youth reclining and playing kottabos with one cup, while holding
another. A and B, each: three reclining youths, mostly playing kottabos.; one on
A has a lyre as well.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: along the top margin: Ε[υ]ρυπτολεμος καλος. In BG on reserved ground:
on the side of the cup used for kottabos: καλ[--]. On the lip of the other cup:
καλο(ν){1}. On the fillet (bound around the head, with free-flowing ends): hο
παις καλος. A: near the lip: Ευρυπτολεμ[ος κ]αλο[ς]. In BG: on the lip of the
cup held by the left youth: καλος. On the body of the cup held out by the
central youth (who has the lyre): καλε{2}. On his fillet a few letters can be
made out: [--]α[--]. [--]σ[--]. The right-hand youth holds an oinochoe on which:
καλε{2}. On his cup: [κα]λος. B: near the lip: Απολλοδ[ορος εγραφσεν]. On the
body of the cup held out by the left youth: καλε. Below the rim of the skyphos
held by him: καλε.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} reversed nu or sideways sigma? {2} so the text.
CAVI Comments: A type B cup. 17 joining frs. and 2 non-joining. Beazley added two more. D.
Williams joined Cp 11,348, ARV[2] 801/13. Giroux compares Athens,
Theodoracopoulos, ARV[2] 120/12, and other pieces including the Unlocated cup,
q.v., with the word κοτ[τ]αβος. Schefold follows Töpffer 244 in assuming that
Euryptolemos kalos was the nephew of Cleisthenes [PA 5983]. But Kirchner, PA
5979 identifies him with the son of Peisianax (PA 5984). For the genalogical
problems see J.K. Davies (1971), 376-78; he tentatively adopts Kirchner's
identification. Dotted delta; tailed rho.
