- AVI Record Number: 2702
- CAVI Collection: Boston 01.8024.
- CAVI Lemma: RF cup. From Orvieto. Ambrosios Painter. Last quarter sixth. Ca. 510.
- CAVI Subject: Int.: boy fishing. A: kneeling satyr to right with rock and empty amphora
threatening his companion, also kneeling, who is balancing a kantharos on his
erect penis. [My interpretation: Lissarrague thinks the left satyr is lifting an
empty amphora and turning its neck toward his erect penis; L. ignores the rock].
B: two satyrs.
- CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: at the top of the scene, ending near boy's head, slightly curved:
πα[-3-]ος. A: above left satyr's head and to its right, horizontal:
κρα̣τεσελεο{2}. B: to right of left satyr's forehead, horizontal: εακεα(.)σε{3}.
- CAVI Footnotes: {1} Int. is often reproduced. {2} this looks suspiciously like the name
Κρατες with nonsense letters added (or a father's name?). Lisarrague's dr.: to
right of top of head of left satyr bearing upward along his outstretched arm:
κρατεσελ[.](.). {3} this could conceivably be badly miswritten for εγραφσε. The
sixth letter an indistinct rest.
- CAVI Comments: The spacing of the inscription on the interior does not allow for the reading
παις καλος. Could it be Πα[ραλ]ος, which is known both as a mythical and as a
personal name, here used with a punning connotation? Cf. Beazley (1928), 127.
But the inscriptions on the exterior are miswritten, hence this one could also
be. To read on the exterior Κρατες Ελεο (for Ηλειο) and εγραφσε is surely wild
speculation. - A. Boegehold in a letter of 4/13/1992 suggests that the object
lying under water on the Int. may be a κημος [like a lobster trap, I think], for
which see scholia to Ar., Equites 1150 and LSJ, s.v. II 1 (eel-basket).
