CAVI Lemma: BF hydria. From Vulci. Leagros Group (Simos Group). Last quarter sixth.

CAVI Subject: Shoulder: Heracles and the Cretan bull. Body: Man mounting a chariot.
CAVI Inscriptions: Shoulder: some dots to right of Iolaus and behind Hermes. Body: In front of
the man's face: Σιμος. The woman holding his spear: Κλειτα, complete{1}. To her
right, above and below the horses bellies: Τελοhυυς = Τελ[λ]ο hυυς(?){2}. To
right of the horses' bellies: Κ.ΟNΟΥ{3}. Under the foot, Gr.: an incised
character (CVA): Siglum of beta pierced by a horizontal upsilon, see Johnston
(1979), 127/5E,13 and Hackl (1909), 516.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} so ABV; CVA suggests Κλειτα[γορας], but there is no room for the rest of
the name. {2} so ABV; I do not know to whom this would refer; perhaps nonsense
(but listed as hυυς in Threatte (1996), 221). Another Tellos appears in Hdt.
1.30. {3} ABV; CVA has what looks like an incomplete pi instead of the dot.
CAVI Comments: LGPN ii has Σιμος, Κλειτα and Τελης (not Τελλος). Boeckh read Κλειτα[γορας],
Τηλ(εκλη)ς, and Κ[ρ?]ονων.
