note
| - Like the aryballos, in that it has a narrow neck and a single handle, the lekythos (pl. lekythoi) is generally a taller vessel with a small, deep mouth. The Greek word lekythos was undoubtedly used for the various forms considered here, although it does appear that it was used for oil-vessels in general.

- Un lécythe (du grec ancien λήκυθος lếkuthos) est un vase grec antique utilisé pour stocker de l'huile parfumée destinée aux soins du corps. La forme est inventée dans la première moitié du VIe siècle av. J.-C.. Un type particulier, le lécythe à fond blanc, est très fréquemment utilisé comme vase funéraire.
