CAVI Lemma: RF hydria. Unattributed. Ca. 450 or a little later (Beazley).
CAVI Subject: Apollo and Seven Muses: Apollo tuning his lyre and a muse with an open book
roll facing him; a seated muse playing the flutes and a muse holding tablets.
CAVI Inscriptions: On the book roll, in BG (^ marks a break running down through all lines):
α[ιο^λ̣ιο̣ μνοσ(α)^ λοιλυο̣^{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Reading sent me by Elizabeth Rohde, of the museum in East Berlin; see the
facsimile in AK. For earlier readings and attempts to make sense of them, see
Studies Ullman. In AJA Beazley says he had no note on the inscription.
CAVI Comments: Berlin East. Probably not a sense inscription. The last letter in the second
line looks like a delta. Ionic alphabet?
CAVI Number: 2373
