CAVI Lemma: Fr. of BF Panathenaic prize amphora. From Athens, Agora U 22:5. Unattributed.
First half fourth (?) (Moore–Pease; but see below).
CAVI Subject: A: part of a column shaft.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: to left of the column, not facing: [τον Αθε]νεθεν αθλον̣.
CAVI Comments: Attic alphabet with Ionic lambda. The lettering is not calligraphic but
stilted [it looks late]. - The inscription seems to be on the right side of the
picture (right-hand column!) as there is a considerable vacat at the left; hence
Athena probably faced right and the fr. is presumably later than mid-fourth. The
prize inscription appears in this position in the Nikomachos series: London B
607, 336/5 B.C.; Louvre MN 704 (323/2); Louvre MNB 3223 (324/3); cf. also London
B 607.1.
CAVI Number: 0405
AVI Bibliography: Moore–Pease (1986), 137/279, pl. 31.
