- CAVI Collection: Tarentum, Museo Nazionale I.G. 4434.
- CAVI Lemma: BF Droop cup. From Tarentum{1}. Unattributed. Antidoros, potter. Third
quarter sixth. 550-530.
- CAVI Subject: A-B: chariot race: three chariots with charioteers on each side. Under one
handle: a standing figure; under the other, a seated figure.
- CAVI Inscriptions: A-B: nonsense: A: to left of the leftmost chariot:(2) (ν)σλνιν. To right of
the chariot rail: νυν:{3}. To right of the charioteer's hands: ν(.)νσ{4}. Below
the horse, close to the bottom of the picture: ν(π)νhνhν(.)[--(?)]{5}. Under the
foot, around the central hole: Αντιδορος εποε.
- CAVI Footnotes: {1} from the same tomb as I.G. 4435: Via Nitti, 1897. {2} see pl. 31,3. {3}
the two dots may be accidental, as they are fainter. {4} the first nu could be a
sideways sigma; the second consists of two parallel vertical strokes; the final
sigma is three-stroke. {5} the inscription extends to the break.
- CAVI Comments: The location of the signature is as in 4435, but it is more carefully done;
the words are NOT separated as they are in 4435; the signature fills 1/2 of the
circumference and there is no word separation at all. By the same hand as the
signature of 4435 [if so and if, as it seems to me, the nonsense is NOT by the
same hand, then the signatures must be written by another, e.g. the potter,
which would explain their position.] Pl. 31,1 shows all of B, with 10
inscriptions (one is fragmentary), mostly horizontal and mostly in sequences
featuring nu's. The scheme of two short horizontal inscriptions to the
charioteer's right and a long one under the horses is repeated; in addition, the
central charioteer has a short one behind his back as does the lefthand
charioteer illustrated in pl. 31,3 (from A). These inscriptions do not look to
be by the same hand as the single one on 4435; note what Beazley says about the
hands of the figured decoration.
