CAVI Lemma: RF lekythos. From Gela. Aischines Painter. Second quarter fifth. Ca. 460-450.
CAVI Subject: Preparations for sacrifice: a woman with a phiale, a youth with meat on a
spit and a sacrificial basket.
CAVI Inscriptions: Nonsense: to right of the woman's face: δ(ε)υ(.){1}. To right of the back of
the youth's head: κκκκ{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the epsilon lacks the top horizontal, which makes it look like an
upside-down digamma. Beazley in CVA has lambda for upsilon, I think wrongly. The
last letter consists of the tops of two parallel verticals, which makes it
impossible to read δευρο. {2} so CVA. I saw only three kappas in the photo. The
second and third are lying sideways.
CAVI Comments: = G 300.
CAVI Number: 5920
