CAVI Lemma: RF pelike. From Cerveteri. Hermonax. Second quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: A-B: Dionysus with maenads and satyrs.
CAVI Inscriptions: A, and under the right handle: to Dionysus' right is a satyr playing the
flutes and on his right, under the handle, another, dancing. Between the two, a
left-aligned stoich. two-liner: hερμονα[.] | εγραφσεν{1}. Under foot, `graffito
non chiaro' (Caruso).
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Mingazzini, who shows the end of the name as missing and restores a xi;
the facs. shows only one empty space if both words are of equal length. But
restoring [χς] is certainly possible, assuming that the end is really missing.
ARV[2] has the name complete. Caruso also reads: Ηερμονα[ξ] εγραφσεν.
CAVI Comments: For Hermonax' signatures, see AttScr (1990), 102. Mingazzini has a long
dscussion of Hermonax. Attic alphabet. Tailed rho.
