CAVI Lemma: RF plastic rhyton (head vase: ram's head). Triptolemos Painter (Ohly-Dumm). Charinos, potter. 480-470 (Neils). The latest signature of Charinos (Cohen).
CAVI Subject: Neck: RF: symposium of Attic kings: in the center, a bearded lyre player; at left, a bearded man and a white-haired bearded man reclining; at right, a youth and a bearded man reclining. Between the figures, three lyres hung up.
CAVI Inscriptions: Above the head of the left-most symposiast: Κεκροφς. The second figure's name is lost; Neils thinks he might be Erechtheus, Guy that he might have been Aegeus, less likely Erichthonios. The lyre player: [--]υποπ[--], which cannot be restored as a king's name, unless it is badly miswritten for Hippothoon; Neils thinks it may be the name of an unknown bard who is called in for entertainment; Guy suggests tentatively [Ε]υπο[μ]π[ος], as the name of a bard or amateur performer. Above the fourth symposiast: Θεσευς. The fifth figure (with white hair and beard) has: [--]ον, perhaps [Πανδι]ον, Theseus' grandfather. Along the middle of the ram's head, down, Dip.: Χαρινος με εποιεσεν.
CAVI Comments: A similar, but mortal, symposium is found on Berlin 2298, ARV[2] 364/52, by the same painter. Cohen says the signature was written by the Triptolemos Painter, not by Charinos.
