- CAVI Collection: Naples Stg. 172.
- CAVI Lemma: BF cup. From Capua. Kallis Painter. Third quarter sixth.
- CAVI Subject: A: heads of Dionysus and Semele. On the left a vine and a satyr under the
handle; on the right, a vine with a satyr climbing and another under the handle.
B: heads of a maenad, Dionysus and two other maenads.
- CAVI Inscriptions: A: by the satyr under the left handle: nonsense: νι(.)(ν)ριο, and down:
γειογ(υ){1}. Above Dionysus' head: Διονυσος. Along Semele's forehead: Σεμελε,
retr. Above her head: σνσο(ν)(ν)υ, retr.(?). Along the back of the climbing
satyr: (.)ε(.)]γειο(.){1}. B: above Dionysus' head: χπιογνιτκπ. Between Dionysus
and his drinking horn: Διονυσος, retr. Above the head of first maenad to his
right: Καλ[λ]ις. Similar for the maenad at right: Σιμε. The left maenad is not
inscribed.
- CAVI Footnotes: {1} the reading is doubtful.
- CAVI Comments: Cup proto-A. - The handwriting resembles that on Athens, N.M. 17,873, by the
same painter, q.v. K.-F. thinks the subject of A is the chthonic Dionysus
bringing back Semele from the Underworld and celebrating the rising sap of the
vine by raising his kantharos. Discussion of Buscher, Feldmäuse 5 and Berard,
Anodoi 72. The inscriptions are a mixture of sense and nonsense.
