lekythoi (jugs (vessels), vessels (containers), ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Ancient Greek one-handled, usually tall and slender narrow-necked vessels used for oil and unguents and as an offering for the dead. The form resembles the aryballos in that it has a narrow neck and a single handle, but the lekythos is generally a taller vessel with a small, deep mouth. The Greek word lekythos was undoubtedly used for the various forms called "lekythos" today, although it also appears that the term was used for oil vessels in general in Ancient times.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Klassieke Griekse houders met één handvat, meestal groot en slank en met een nauwe hals, die werden gebruikt voor olie en zalf en als offerande aan de doden. 
German ..... Antikes griechisches einhenkeliges Gefäß, gewöhnlich hoch und enghalsig für Öle und Salben und als Totengabe genutzt. Die Form erinnert an den Aryballos dadurch, dass sie einen engen Hals und einen einzelnen Henkel besitzt, aber der Lekythos ist im allgemeinen ein höheres Gefäß mit einer kleineren Mündung. Das griechische Wort Lekythos wurde ohne Zweifel für verschiedene Formen genutzt, die heute "Lekythos" genannt werden, während der Begriff in antiken Zeiten vermutlich für Ölgefäße im Allgemeinen verwendet wurde. 
Portuguese ..... Recipientes gregos antigos, geralmente altos e esguios, de pescoço estreito, usados para óleo e unguentos e como oferenda aos mortos. A forma deste recipiente lembra o aryballos por ter um pescoço estreito e uma única alça, mas o lécito é geralmente um vaso mais alto com uma boca pequena e profunda. A palavra grega lekythos foi sem dúvida usada para as várias formas de recipientes hoje, embora também pareça que o termo foi usado para recipientes de óleo em geral na Antiguidade. 
Spanish ..... Vasijas de un asa de la Antigua Grecia, generalmente altas y esbeltas de cuello angosto, usadas para aceites y ungüentos y como una ofrenda para los difuntos.
