- CAVI Lemma: BF Tyrrhenian neck amphora. Timiades Painter (Bothmer). Middle period
(Kluiver). Second quarter sixth. 560-550.
- CAVI Subject: A: The Sacrifice of Polyxena. B: komos: youths dancing between cocks.
- CAVI Inscriptions: A: by a bearded hero: Nεστορ Πυλιος. By a bearded warrior, facing him:
Διομεδες. Between the legs of a bearded warrior: Nεοπτολεμος, retr. Above
Polyxena's head: Πολυσχενε, retr., for Πολυχσενε. Behind a warrior's legs:
Ανφιλοχος, retr. Behind another warrior's legs, similar: Αντ̣ιφατες, retr. To
right of another warrior's body, two inscriptions, both downward:{1}. Αιας v.
Ιλιαδες̣. Φοινιχς{ι}, retr. [[Addenda, a shorter version:]] C] Nεστορ Π̣υλιος.
Διομεδες. Nεοπτολεμος, retr. Πολυσχενε, retr.{2}. Ανφ̣ιλοχος, retr. Αντ̣ιφατες,
retr. Αια̣ς Ιλιαδες{3}. Φοινιχς, retr.
- CAVI Footnotes: {1} For the arrangement of the two inscriptions and the extra iota see
AttScr. Ιλιαδες is probably for Οιλιαδες, referring to the Lesser Ajax, although
no omicron was ever written. {2} [[from Addenda]] σχ may be metathesis for χσ
(R. apud K.). {3} [[from Addenda]] need not be a misspelling as HRI, AttScr
(1990), 41 n. 24, suggests; "it is a synonym." [Meaning what?].
- CAVI Comments: Large and coarse letters. Sigma is always reversed. Threatte (1996), 148,
gives parallels for the name Antiphates.
