Judging from the references I found to that vase on the internet, this
is probably a very well-known vase, too.

This might explane why the Greek "oi" is transcribed as "oe" in Latin.

I wonder if this is one of those misspellings which provide us with
indications about how ancient Greek was pronounced.

Indeed!
