CAVI Subject: Musaeus and Seven Muses: left to right: a muse standing in front of a column
and a chair, holding a stylus and open tablets; a muse (Calliope) seated on a
chair, playing the flutes; a heron; a muse greeting Calliope and holding a lyre;
a muse seated on a rock and playing an instrument; Museus seated on a rock,
playing the lyre; a muse holding a lyre; a muse (Ligeia) seated on a rock, with
the chin in her hands; a muse with a lyre.
CAVI Inscriptions: Καλλιοπα{1}. Μωσαιος{2}. Λιγεια. Under the foot, Gr.: Α.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} so CVA; I had read Καλ[λ]ιοπα, perhaps wrongly. {2} my reading; CVA has
Μοσαιος.
CAVI Comments: For the inscription Mosaios, Beazley compares London E 271, by the Peleus
Painter, ARV[2] 1039/13: Musaeus plays the lyre, one muse plays the flutes,
another the magadis. Ligeia is listed in Pape as a daughter of Nereus; as a
siren; and as an island in South Italy. There is no book roll. Probably mixed
alphabet; some letters miswritten.
