CAVI Lemma: RF lekythos. From Eretria. Syracuse Painter{1}. Second quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: Winged figure with torch and taenia, rushing to right and looking back,
before a burning altar{2}.
CAVI Inscriptions: The ph. in AM shows: to left of her middle, a horizontal two-liner, perhaps
stoich. (or accidental?): κα̣λ̣ε | (γ) Εος{3}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} follower of Makron. {2} Nike, ARV[2]; Nicole: winged Eos with torch and
serpent to right. {3} so interpretated by Nicole who actually reads: καλε πεος.
CAVI Comments: So Brückner [obviously following Nicole]. α̣λ̣ are almost gone in a break.
The inscription should be καλε (h)εος. The winged figure should then be Eos, not
Nike as Beazley.
