CAVI Lemma: BF lekythos. From Rhodes. Unattributed. Date unclear.
CAVI Subject: Dance: woman on a bema, clapping; two women dancing; between them, a woman
playing the flute; altar; youth{1}.
CAVI Inscriptions: Above, over the whole scene, in large letters: επαλκαλε{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Neugebauer calls the figure a youth, Furtw., a priestess(?), and the
scene `Sakraler Festtanz.' {2} Επαλ[κε] καλε̣, but it is not listed in Beazley.
Επαλκος is listed in Pape; Επαλκειδης (409 B.C.) in LGPN ii. Or: hε παυ[ς] καλε̣
Or nonsense? Neugebauer says: "Im Raume die Inschrift Epalke," which presupposes
an error in Furtw., or the reading Επαλκ{αλ}ε. καλε-name without kale?? Or name
of a figure?
CAVI Comments: After the text in Furtw.
CAVI Number: 2275
