Psoieas

Psoieas ( Greek Πσοιεας ) is the presumed name of an ancient Attic potter who lived in the 3rd quarter of the 6th century BC. Worked.

It is only known from the unsecured reading of a signature on the fragment of a black-figure rim bowl depicting a rider from Naukratis , today in the British Museum in London (inventory number 1886,0401.1240 [B 600.40]).

The inscription ΠΣΟΙΕΑΣ PSOIEAS may not be complete, however, letters in front of the Π (Pi) may be missing, and the name Psoieas is otherwise not attested. If John D. Beazley thought the inscription was a potter's signature, then according to Henry R. Immerwahr it is one of the nonsense inscriptions often found on black-figure vases .
