CAVI Collection: Paris, Cab. Méd. 523.
CAVI Lemma: RF cup. From Vulci. Proto-Panaitian Group. Euphronios, potter. Ca. 500.
CAVI Subject: Athletes: Int.: at right, two wrestlers, one throwing the other (who is upside down); at left, young trainer. A: wrestlers, boxers. B: hoplitodromoi.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: Ασοποκλες (young trainer). Euenor (wrestler). [Α]ντιμαχ[ος] (wrestler). A: Kleiboulos (trainer). Phoinix (boy){1}. εανος{2}. Euagoras (bearded trainer). Timon (youth). Kleon (athlete).Επιχαρες, retr. (wrestler){3}. Ε[ρατο]σθενες. Kleisophos (trainer). Phormos (wrestler). Batrachos (wrestler). B: Αντιας (hoplitodromos). In two lines, the second word in smaller letters: Κεφισοφον | καλος{4}. Ambrosios (trainer). Δοροθεος, retr. and καλος. Batrachos (arming). καλος Ολυνπιοδορος. Under the foot, Gr.: ΑNΙ, retr.{5}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the facs. in de Ridder gives Φοινιι. Threatte (1980), 190 and 463, discusses this name as a doubtful occurrence of ει for ι Φοινεις(?). Ibid. mentions also a reading Χλισοφος (for Κλισοφος), once read but now painted over. Threatte thinks both probably wrong readings. {2} de Ridder, text. {3} perhaps the father of the kalos Alkimachos (ARV[2] 1561). {4} tag-kalos, ARV[2] 1589. {5} Etruscan? Not in Johnston (1979).
CAVI Comments: Very much restored (repainted); the inscriptions now largely obliterated by repainting (ARV[2]). Done after de Ridder (whose readings are very poor) with corrections from ARV[2] so far as they are given. Tailed rho. CVA, France 14, III H e, under pl. 93,1-5 (on Louvre MNC 332) mentions an inscription παυσαι on Cab. Méd. 523, which is now invisible under repaintings: does it exist? Notes from Bearard's picture of Int.: to left of trainer's lower half, downward in a curve, and facing: Ασοποκλες, retr. Above the feet of the `upside-down' wrestler, in a curve, also upside down: Αντιμαχο̣ς, not retr. Of the third inscription only an omicron shows, below the two wrestlers. [I do not know to which wrestler each name attaches.]
