The high degree of interest possessed by the subject-matter of the design upon the two fragments numbered 2351 in the National Museum at Palermo, and here published for the first time, has induced me to bring them to public notice earlier than I intended, and apart from the wider subject with which they are connected by their style. I am indebted to the kindness of M. Salinas of Palermo for the drawing of the fragments which was executed there by Signor Carmelo Giarizzo. They have been noticed already on several occasions by Klein, Euphronios, pp. 53–4, by Koepp, Arch. Ztg., 1884, p. 42, note 21, and recently by Hirsch, De Animarum apud Antiquos Imaginibus, p. 10, No. 19, and are described in greater detail by Klein, Meistersignaturen, p. 113, No. 11. Klein has classed these fragments on which ἐποίησεν twice repeated is still preserved with the group of red-figured vases signed ἐποίησεν only. Certainly the master who painted them belongs to the earlier group of painters of red-figured vases, the so-called ‘Epiktetic school.’ To this point, however, further reference will be made at a later point.
