INSCRIPTIONS ON CORINTHIAN VASES
65. Crater no. 1474 (K. 21, no. 21).
Obv. MO . ASST (IIpianos), FAKAlPA (Faicdpa), SOT?a ("E/cto/)), 20M3A (4/y&),
KSAfSM (Kiam), MOXAMOTI^B ('iTTTro/xaxo?), MIASO? (9<W?), KBlPPSON'AM
(KePpiovas), MO&MAI (adv0oi)) M0M0(j)5AA (Aafyofios), KBMAMARA {KzcrdvSpa),
AMaiV\OT (iloX^ei/a).
Rev. FSON'SM (ftcof«). Kiam and from? (or from) are explained by Kretschmer
(pp. 32 and 43) as derived from k'«o and Uo-dai. The suggested derivation of the
former from the Bithynian town Kto? (Braun, Annali 1855, 68 ; cf. Wrede, A. M.
1916, 356) is however more probable. On the unusual form K^dvSpa see
Kretschmer p. 28 ; on the M in Aafyo(3o9 (?) and the R in Kco-disSpa see above
pp.158,160.
66. Crater no. 1475 (K. 24, no. 29).
____AHjVSVa (E6pv/3d[Ta$]), 20\2(j> ($l\d>i), FSO* (Ft&n), 50T5B (Two*), MV?01 00.
The last words are hard to read, but the letters given above are certain; Graef
read OB only, Pottier MV20 .OB). They stand by the boy who is holding the
horses' heads, and I take it that they refer to him. 'O mows, as a Corinthian
equivalent of 6 irah, can be explained in the light of other forms, if we allow
that either the 1 or the v is redundant; for v, as we know, had almost the same
value as 1 (cf. no. 44). We thus have ncovs otttwls. The use of &> for a at Corinth
can be paralleled, for example, in the form TerpaxovTa (Bechtel, Gr. Dialekte ii,
253). With the Corinthian ncoivs one may compare several by-forms of the
word which occurs on Attic vases : novs and nois (Kretschmer p. 190), navs which
occurs on a number of vases mentioned by Kretschmer (p. 188), and navis
(Kretschmer p. 189, two examples : add one mentioned by Beazley, G.V. in
Poland p. 13, note 3). This last form is obviously parallel to nwivs in the
reduplication of the 1 or i' sound, while -rrovs and nois are likewise parallel in
the substitution of 0 (or o>) for a.
67. Crater no. 1477.
Obv. A$OV {Aimv), MVPSM (2vpis)> FAPSM (Fdpis), POPSM (IIopis), . VPOM
(? IIvpos), M*MA (2t>«).
Rev. TA*AAM (AaSas), FAS"M (FdXv<:), ,oiA {Aloov). The first letter of AaSa?
may be H not r ; the surface is in a bad state and I could not decide which
was the form used. The chi of Fdxvs is defaced but appears to have the unusual
form shown above (cf. no. 49).
The names are discussed at length by Fraenkel in ' Satyr u. Bacchennamen
The importance of those on the obverse lies in the fact that several of them recur on
a Chalcidian crater, as the names of maenads who are dancing with silens (Rumpf
no. 13, p. 47) (IJ6(p)ls, 2(i)p.os, 2(T)fiis). There are other curious coincidences among
the names used by Corinthian and Chalcidian artists; such points of contact are
important evidence of the close connexion between the two fabrics. In addition to
those mentioned by Rumpf (pp. 50 and ff.), cf. Xopm on no 50, X6pa R. 46, no. 2.
68. Crater no. 1478 (K. 25, no. 36).
Obv. MAAV \01 (IloXvSas), AA/T£(J)ATAH (AvTicpdras), POA V<j)AM (IloXvcpas), MOqO-
AV8 (EvSoopos).
