- CAVI Collection: Harvard 1960.345.
- CAVI Lemma: RF bell krater. From Vari. Hephaistos Painter (Later Mannerist). 430-420.
- CAVI Subject: A: Bouzyges(1) and the first plow; olive tree; woman{2}. B: three youths.
- CAVI Inscriptions: Graffiti: Modern: redrawn: B: Διο^κλες ^ hαλαι^ευς. A: continued from B:
Κε...πια.{3}. Ancient: Δι̣οκ̣λ̣ε̣[ς] ḥα̣λα[ι]ε̣υ̣[ς] | [Κ]εκροπιδ̣ο̣ς.
- CAVI Footnotes: {1} Beazley puts a question mark. {2} falsely identified with Athena by
Robinson, see Beazley (1938). {3} ^ shows intervening heads, which are not
disturbed by the inscription; in the first rendering (called `Modern') single
underlining [[both final sigmas]] shows letters that are partially redrawn on
plaster; double underlining [[αι of hαλαι^ευς, Κ of Κε...πια..]] shows letters
fully in the plaster; the other letters are ancient. [However, the rendering of
the inscription above is unclear: the second alpha of Halaieus and the kappa of
Κε..πια... are partially in plaster; the two final sigmas and the iota of
Halaieus are totally in plaster. In the last line (`Ancient:'), which is based
on Beazley's photo, both the dotted and undotted letters are ancient.
- CAVI Comments: Ex Baltimore, Robinson. From a cemetery at Vari, Attica. Robinson says some
bones were found in the vase. A photo in Beazley's possession showed the vase
before its reconstruction. Large coarse letters. Mixed alphabet.
