  • CAVI Collection: New York, Leon Levy and Shelby White.
  • CAVI Lemma: BF hydria. Priam Painter (Bothmer). Last quarter sixth. Ca. 510 (Bothmer).
  • CAVI Subject: Shoulder: chariot race: two chariots. Body: nine maidens (muses?), between Dionysus and Hermes with a dog.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: Shoulder: Τυλιος. Λυσιος. Μινονχς. Μικοννιος{1}. Under the foot, Gr.: H with two diagonals and V. See Johnston (1979), 139f./13E; this is common on vases by the Priam Painter.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} so Bothmer in the text; the photos. are not much help. I think the first two names are written by the charioteers, the last two under the horses.
  • CAVI Comments: Bothmer says the inscriptions are hard to read and may be garbled. Illiterate? Mock inscriptions? Bothmer also refers to "another, similarly tantalizing" inscription on an amphora by the Priam Painter, Oxford 212, ABV 331/5, with the kalos-name Μυν[ν]ιχος. [[CAVI 5876]]
