CAVI Subject: Shoulder: lion and bull; lion and boar. Body: Athena mounting a chariot with
Heracles. Predella: swan and goat; siren and goat; swan.
CAVI Inscriptions: Above the horses' heads: Αυτομενες καλος. Nonsense: to left of Athena's head:
[--]τ̣ειε{1}. Between the horses' legs: ειελειεισ. In front of their legs,
similar: ειειελσλ. Two more inscriptions at right. Beazley also read: παι
καλος{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} uncertain reading from the photo. To right of her head more letters in a
glare. {2} in ABV: nonsense resembles strings of letters on London B 333 (BF
fountain hydria, ABV 677/3, q.v.), which has ελετειεν, etc.; cf. also Brussels R
291 (BF neck amphora by the Antimenes Painter, ABV 270/52). παις miswritten?
CAVI Comments: Automenes occurs as a kalos-name also on Rimini, another hydria in the manner
of the Lysippides Painter, ABV 261/36, and on Florence 81,601 [[CAVI 3606]], a
RF cup by Oltos, ARV[2] 64/96 and 1568, but the last may not be the same person.
- Beazley compares the vase with Louvre F 295 (ABV 260/31).
