Publication Record: Hoorn, G. van, Choes and Anthesteria (Leiden, 1951): FIG.380, NO.181 The Athenian Agora, Results of Excavations conducted by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens: 30, PL.71.667
CAVI Lemma: Fr. of RF oinochoe (chous). From Athens, Agora D 11. Unattributed. Late fifth
(van Hoorn, Moore).
CAVI Subject: Head, shoulders and start of outstretched arm of wreathed youth to right.
CAVI Inscriptions: Nonsense. Groups of letters, above the head, horizontal, in white: λα. λκ.
λη(?)/[--](α)(ρ)[--]{1}. L] Ionic? (The lambda is.)
CAVI Footnotes: {1} so apparently the ph. in Moore (1997), pl. 71, but the letters are
unclear: the alpha may be a gamma and the rho is smudged; if a rho, it would be
tailed rho with a round head. Van Hoorn's reading is impossible as there are
probably only two letters on the fr. (unless a dot near the left-hand break is
part of another letter); his λα, λκ, λη(?) must be possible readings of the two
extant letters. My earlier reading from van Hoorn's ph., `λκ', is certainly
possible, the photo shows λκ above the head.. The sketch on Moore's p. 237 is
altogether different and does not jive with the ph.: [--](.)ς. (.) is drawn as
the bottom of a diagonal line from left to right.
CAVI Comments: Inscription in white.
CAVI Number: 0370
