Potheinus
2. A vase-painter, whose name appears on a beautiful vessel, in the ancient style, representing the contest of Thetis and Peleus, which was found in 1833 at Ponte dell' Abbadia, and is now in the museum at Berlin. It is doubtful whether the name inscribed on the vase is Ποθεῖνος or Πείθινος; but it looks more like the latter. (Levezow, Verzeichniss, No. 1005, p. 246; Gerhard, Berlins Ant. Bilduerke, No. 1005, p. 291; R. Rochette, Lettre à M. Schorn, pp. 56, 57.)
