- CAVI Lemma: RF cup. Douris, or school piece (ARV[2]){1}. Python, potter (Cahn). First
quarter fifth. Ca. 480 (Cahn). 480-470{2}.
- CAVI Subject: Int.: intercourse: woman standing and bending forward; man entering from
behind; at left, head of a couch with a cushion; at right, a bundle of clothes
on a low table (the woman leaning on it); above, at right, strigil and aryballos
hung up. Ext.: plain.
- CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: above the scene, following the margin: hε παις καλε. The man says
(vertically down from below his face, through her body and the BG below): hέχε
hέσυχος{3}.
- CAVI Footnotes: {1} B.-O. 40 attributes to Douris himself. {2} late period (B.-O.). {3} "the
earliest evidence for the expression," Beazley. For εχε Beazley refers to Acr.
2644, Graef–Langlotz (1925–33), i, pl. 112 (BF). B.O. in cat. has: hε παι[ς]
κ[αλ]ε. hεχε hεσυ[χ]ος. I am not convinced that the bracketed letters are not
there. Auktion 40 gives the kale-inscription complete but brackets the second
chi in the other inscription. The photos are unclear. Threatte (1996) reads
hεσύχο̅ς, perhaps rightly.
- CAVI Comments: Ex Lucerne Market (A.A.). Ex Arlesheim, Schweizer.
