- CAVI Comments: Hartwig attributed the cup to the Diogenes Painter, Murray with reserve, to
the style of the Brygos Painter. - The inscriptions done from the drs. of A and
B in JHS 26 and for the Int. from CVA, GB 17. Beazley, lecture 80: "On the
inside and outside of the London cup there are imitation inscriptions, without
meaning, of a particular kind: the letters nu, sigma, epsilon, upsilon are
prevalent. This form of inscription is found on many of the Foundry Painter's
cups, and, like the way the letters are formed, is characteristic of him."
Beazley compares New York L.1981.91a-b (ex Heidelberg 73(c) and 74(a) + New York
(ex Vatican, Astarita L.1986.41) + New York 07.156.8 (q.v.). Dotted alpha.
Epsilon variable. Kappa once miswritten. Nu sometimes reversed.
