  • CAVI Subject: A woman spinning.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: To right of the distaff, in dark brown: hε παις καλε.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} Beazley attributed the pot to the Foundry Painter, but Williams to the Brygos Painter, with Robertson concurring.
  • CAVI Comments: Williams connects the inscription with the woman (whom he considers a free woman). He compares Cab. Méd., ARV[2] 624/81, q.v., with the inscription φιλεργος [I think he takes this as an adj.; I take it as a name].
