- CAVI Lemma: BF neck amphora. From Vulci. Unattributed; related to later Group E (CVA).
530-520 (CVA).
- CAVI Subject: A: Ajax and Achilles playing a game. B: Dionysus between a woman and Hermes.
- CAVI Inscriptions: A: nonsense: blots and imitation letters: a horizontal row above the scene.
From the mouth of the hero at right issue six letters{1}. On the extreme left,
following the shoulder of the left hero: a row of imitation letters. Behind the
right hero: two blots, unclear whether intended for letters. - Under the foot,
Grr.: ligature pi-delta (or pi rho?) and internal ligature epsilon-rho. CVA also
mentions a Dip., which is not listed in Johnston (1979). See also Johnston's
comments in CVA.
- CAVI Footnotes: {1} the hero is either Ajax or Achilles.
- CAVI Comments: Ex Durand and Pourtalès collections. - The inscriptions imitate sense
inscriptions by their positions: signature or kalos-name; spoken words; names of
heroes. They are in the tradition of Group E, Exekias and his followers.
