CAVI Lemma: RF lekythos. Unattributed. Second quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: Youth with staff and woman with fruit(?) and a small basket.
CAVI Inscriptions: Between the heads: horizontal two-liner, probably stoich.: α(λ)κ ... | κκλ
... {1}. C] To right of youth's head, stoich. two-liner, both lines bearing
downward: ακκ(κ)(.) | κ(α)λ(α)(λ){1}. ..... .....
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the last letter in line 1 is a `quotation mark' (intended for kappa?).
The third letter is a sort of cursive kappa. Line 2: the first alpha is
miswritten; the second is a disjointed high-kicker. The second lambda is puny.
Both lambdas are Attic and leaning back.
CAVI Comments: A very large vase. Würzburg K 1819 is attributed by Guy to the same hand
(`Kiseleff Painter'). - The second line is clearly an illiterate attempt to
write καλος. Karouzou thinks the first line may be an illiterate attempt to
write Alkimachos [which of the two kaloi does she mean?]. [Note that the
Kiseleff lekythos has a similar inscription which Neumann could not read.]
