He tragically died at age 16 on January 2, 2009, after suffering a seizure and hitting his head in a bathtub while on a family vacation in the Bahamas. Jett had a history of illness, including Kawasaki disease and autism, with frequent, severe seizures.

Staff

Picture

Treble Clef
Picture
There are two main clefs. The first is the treble clef, sometimes called the G clef, as it loops around the G line. The treble clef has the "fancy" letter G on the far left side. The treble clef is the higher staff of music, so if your instrument is in a higher pitch, you will be reading in this clef.

Instruments: Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Saxophone, French Horn, Trumpet

How to remember these note names?
For lines, E G B D F, “Every Good Boy Does Fine.” 
For spaces, F A C E is just like the word “face,” so I like to remember FACE -- SPACE. 

Bass Clef

Picture
The second main clef is the bass clef. Some also call it the F clef, as the bass clef loops around the F line. The bass clef is the lower staff of music, so if your instrument is in a lower pitch, you will be reading this clef.

Instruments: Baritone, Trombone, Tuba, Bassoon


How to remember these note names?
For lines, G B D F A, “Good Boys DFine Always.” 
For the spaces, A C E G, “All Cows Eat Grass.”

Notes: Parts

Notes placed on the staff tell us which note letter to play on our instrument and how long to play it. There are three parts of each note, the note head, the stem and the flag. 

While I am demonstrating with a treble clef, the same rules apply to the bass clef.

Note Heads

Picture
Every note has a note head, either filled (black) or open (white). Where the note head sits on the staff (either on a line or a space) determines which note you will play. *Sometimes note heads will sit above or below the five lines and four spaces of a staff. In that case, a line is drawn through the note, above the note, or below the note head, to indicate the note letter to play, just like B and C in the picture.

*Attention! Everyone will run into these notes at some point, especially FLUTE AND OTHER HIGHER REGISTER INSTRUMENTS, so don't get caught off guard!

Stems

The note stem is a line that extends either up or down from the note head. The line extends from the right if going up or from the left if going down. Stems do not affect how you play a note, but is a way to make the notes easier to read, and allows them to fit neatly on the staff. 

Flags

The note flag is a curvy mark to the right of the note stem. Its purpose is to tell you how long to hold a note. 
We’ll see below how a single flag shortens the note’s duration, while multiple flags can make it shorter still.

Notes: Values

Now that you know the parts to each note, we’ll take a closer look at those filled and open note heads we talked about. Whether a note head is filled or open shows us the note’s value, or how long that note should be held. 

Quarter Notes, Half Notes, and Whole Notes

Let's start with the basics:

AI Overview
Perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a two-dimensional shape, calculated by adding the lengths of all its outer sides. It represents the length of a boundary, such as a fence around a yard, and differs from area, which measures the space inside.
Key Formulas
  • Square: 4 \times \text{side}
  • Rectangle: 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width})
  • Triangle: \text{side}1 + \text{side}2 + \text{side}3
  • Circle (Circumference): 2 \times \pi \times \text{radius} or \pi \times \text{diameter}
  • Regular Polygon: \text{Number of sides} \times \text{side length}
How to Calculate Perimeter
  1. Identify all side lengths: For any polygon, identify the length of every outer edge.
  2. Sum the sides: Add all side lengths together.
  3. Irregular Shapes: If sides are missing, determine them based on parallel sides, then add all sides.
  4. Units: Ensure all units of measurement are the same before adding (e.g., convert inches to feet).
Examples
  • Rectangle: A rectangle with a length of 6 units and width of 3 units has a perimeter of 6+3+6+3 = 18 units.
  • Triangle: A triangle with sides 3, 4, and 5 cm has a perimeter of 3+4+5 = 12cm.

In Hesperia, XII, 1943, pp. 25-27, Raubitschekpublishedpart of a casualty list which he identified (following Wilhelm) as the first such list from the Peloponnesian War. The letters of the present text are not by the same hand, but they are of similar monumentalsize and may well be from approximnatelythe same date. Apparently this too was a funeral monument, commemorating allies of the Athenians whose names might reasonably have been inscribed in Ionic letters.

20. Two contiguous fragments of an inscribed stele of Pentelic marble. One fragment, brokenon all sides, was found in December, 1934, in the wall of a modern house in Section II. The other fragment, with the smooth right face and rough- picked back preserved, was found on TMay22, 1933, in a modern house in Section I.

Height, as joined, ca. 0.50 m.; width, as joined, ca. 0.55 m.; thickness, 0.247 m. Height of letters, 0.011 m.
Inv. No. I 888.

I.G., 12, 956 (Photograph from Squeeze)

The text has been given here in connection with I.G., I>, 956. The lettering and spacing seem from the squeezes to be so nearly alike as to permit this association.'butthetestmustsomedaybemadeinAthenstoseewhetherthestonesjoin. Itmay be that the lacuna indicated in the text above can be so reduced that some of the fragmentary names in Column II will be shown to belong together. The stone was evidently part of a public funeral monument of the latter part of the fifth century.

21. Fragment of a block of Hymettian marble, broken on all sides but with the rough-pickedback preserved, found on March 4, 1933, in Section H.

Height, 0.22 m.; width, 0.16 m.; thickness, 0.065 m. Height of letters, 0.011 m.-0.016 m.

The spacing on I.G., I2, 956 seems slightly wider. The thickness is recorded as having a maximum of 0.24 m. This corresponds well with the 0.247 m. of the Agora fragment.

DEDICATIONS OF THE FOURTH CENTURY (23-25)

23. Three fragments of a sculptured stele, which are published here for the sake of the names on the moulding which divides the stele horizontally. From left to right, the fragments bear the epig,raphical inventory numbers I 3193, 1 1759, and I 289, having been accessioned, respectively, on January 27, 1936, on April 3, 1934, and early in 1933. The fragment at the right shows a seated satyr, playing the double pipes, and looking toward flames which are rising from the ground above the mould- ing. In the field below the moulding are dolphins. The fragments all deserve studv and publication as sculpture; so further details are reserved until then. The inscrip- tion is cut in characteristic letters of the fourth century B.c. and reads as follows:

[---

-] vEavLaW vacat K-]'Xj ITVKVE'[O] vacat IJtXXOKW/VOS

Apparently there were three names, each given with its patronymic. If this is true then VEavWLa is an epithet, and not the name itself; of this first name nothing is now preserved. The second name was IDtX6'KcouK[--- -] and the third name was

[--- -] EAX) ITVKVE [O]. Here the patronymic is new, representing probably a nomina- tive llvKvEag, otherwise unattested. There is room on the stone for the restoration of only one letter, so that the choice seems limited to the patronymic form here given.

The Dionysiac character of the relief is evident, and is further emphasized by the inscription, which has certain resemblances (vEavtcac with NEavtcsa; 4I XOKKUO gwith Kct)oo) to the legends on a cerenmonialvase described in Roscher's Lexicon, der griechischcn und r5inischen Mythologie, I, 1, s. v.

This dedicatory base carried the names of ten members of a board or commis- sion, one from each tribe, arranged in tribal order, and followed by the name of their secretary. Kallimedon is already known (P.A., no. 8033) from an honorary decreepraising his son (I.G., II2, 1214), and his name has been used as the guide in dating the text. Above the list of names there was room for four lines of the larger letters of the dedication proper. In many respects this inscription resembles I.G., 112, 2822, which is a dedication by the Board of Treasurers of the Goddess in 349/8 B.c. The names appear in two columns (not rigidly separated in I.G., 12, 2822) in tribal order, with the name of the secretary in the concluding line. This does not prove that this text names Treasurers of the Goddess, but if this should be the case the approximate date 325 B.C. might with some probability be made definite as suiting a secretary from Leontis (Sounion) to the requirements of the tribal cycle.3

The inscription is on a taenia below a double crowning
moulding. On the surface of the relief below the inscrip-
tion are traces of a head, much broken. The father, 
Rhinon,
probably lived in the late fifth century, a contemporary
of the other known men of that name, or perhaps to be identified with one of them.4

juxtaposed if the document is so reconstructed that the Agora fragment falls below I.G., 112, 1579. Moreover, the Agora fragment introduces a category of houses for which the listings were made by the demarchoi (line 32). If the Corpus fragment were to be placed below the Agora fragment it would have to be far enough below to allow room for a different heading, for it is obviously not possible to assume that Leukolophos (line 8) was a demarchos. The better arrangement is that shown in the text above. An additional epigraphical argument is that the unit of verticalspacing on I.G., II', 1579 agrees with that of the upper lines of the Agora piece

(0.011 m.).

page16image1855240352

184 BENJAMIN D. MERITT

The letters in line 32 are not strictly stoichedon, and I have assumed that the 24 letters of the restored text filled out the line completely. On an unpublished frag- ment of the Fifth Century from the Agora (Inv. No. I 236e) the phrase 8&j,/apXogacTEYpaIE, entirely preserved, gives the parallel for the restorations in lines 32 and 34. This r6le of the demarchos is attested also in the literary tradition, and a similar reference is partially preserved in No. 32, line 25, below.

The character of the present document, already assumed as a record of the poletai, is further shown by the reference to the Eleven in line 30. One can restore [rTcV] 'V&KKa, indicating the source from which the poletai received the houses for

sale. A similar procedure is illustrated in the poletai record of 367/6 published in

Hesperia, X, 1941, pp. 14-30. There in lines 1-7 (loc. cit., p. 14) appears the statement

&XA77raT Ta8E d7TEovro 7Tapa r&wvEv8EKa, and the first item was a --- 7TapaXa,80ovTrEs

house which had been listed (the verb is &7E'ypafEv) by a certain Theomnestos. There is not room in the present text to restore in line 30 the complete phrase [7rapa -rwV] EV8EKa,though it is of course possible to read the aorist of the verb T7roypakEtvas well as the imperfect in lines 32 and 34. These responsibilities of the Eleven to the poletai are described also by Aristotle ('AO. HAo., 52): Kat ra. a7ToypaoOLtEva Xwpta KcLLOLKWas EUTcLovTas EL9 To &KaoT7)ptov, Kat ra ooavra &Y7/ tOO tvat 7Tap c8ooovtag

rots rcoXranta -- -.
One must assumnethat Nothippos (line 34) was demarchos of Oion. The property

which he listed with the Eleven must therefore also have been in Oion. The locative phrase EvOt'otis too short by one letter for the restoration of the lacuna in line 35, but a more specific designation of locality within the deme would in any case perhaps be preferable.8

In Hesperia, IT, 1935, pp. 570-571, I exposed the difficulty of accepting the interpretation EyyV(z-) or EyyV(-qg)for the abbreviated form of the word in lines 14 and 20, and even suggested that this form should not be restored at all in line 6. suggested rather that the expanded form should be Eyyv(-p-r'), as in I.G., 12, 1590- 1593, though it was obvious here that in no preserved instance was a bondsmar. mentioned by name. There is now aniother passage (line 35) where E[yyv] must berestored and where no name can be joined with it. Rather than assume that no bondsman was named in connection with any purchase in this inscription, and rather than assume (which seems to me still more awkward) that the purchaser was in each instance himself the bondsman, I now believe that E-yyv should be expanded to

and that in each case the translation should be: that so-and-so, properly bonded, purchased the property.

See Busolt-Swoboda, Gr. Staatsku'nde,p. 968 and note 2, with references there cited.
See, e. g., lines 10-11 and 16-17.
Plato (Laws, 855 B) shows that one could be bonded by his friends: Eav aOpa /wrvEElOESA@CtV

This is a record of sales of property by the poletai. Many of the readings are doubtful, because the stone has been so worn as to make certainty in many cases impossible. In line 12 the -beginningsof a consecutive text, however, can be made out. I assume that Glaukippos was the father of the man who purchased the property describedimmediatelyabove. Then in line 13 comes the name of the man who listed the house of Xenokles. The demotic is supplied in line 14 from the probable reading of line 20. This property is described and its record comes to an end in line 19. Kallisthenes listed another house (and lot and shed) belonging to Xenokles. The purchaseris namedin line 23, and what appearsto be one paymentmadeto the poletai appears, at least in part, in line 24.

The inscription begins with a list of names arranged in the official order of the phylai, lines 2, 3, and 4, respectively showing demotics which belong to Aigeis (II), Akamnantis(VI), and Hippothontis (IX). If these lines are filled out with an allowance of about sixteen letters for the name and demotic of each missing member

of the board the length of line is determinedas ca. 58 letters. In line 5 the name of the secretary must have followed without a break after the member from Attalis

(XII).
These men seem to me to represent a board of 
iroX-rrai. The fragment was found

in Section Z, where numerous other fragments of poletai-records were found; the beginningofline7mayperhapshavebeen[a&vEwypa]tiaavn;dthemonthofThargelion is the date when payments on houses sold by the poletai were due.10 Hence my tenta- tive suggestion of the identification.

The date is determinedby the lettering.

HONORARY DECREAES EMENDED (34-36)

34. Several suggestions for the text published as Hesperica,III, 1934, no. 6, have been madeby Helen Pope, NTonA-Athenians in Attic Inscriptions, p. 230. It seems quite possible that Aischron of the Hesperia text is the same as Aischron from Chalkis in I.G., II2, 491, lines 9-10. I therefore adopt her restoration [XacXKC8J&]for line 12 and its accompanying ['EpErpCEv1]for line 13. It is more difficultto follow Mrs. Pope's suggestion of reading K[at 'ApXE'XE&XVaAXK]8Es9in I.G., II2, 491, lines 11-12, because the lacuna there in line 11 is too long by one letter for the restoration of 'ApXE'XE&V.

J. H. Oliver has reportedby letter from Athens that the reading of the last line, in the Hesperia inscription,which I had given as [.]E.. .01, is [.1 EE[a]ya[0]ot.

10 See Aristotle, 'AO.1IoA., 47, 3. The date named by Aristotle is the ninth prytany, but in the second century this would have been nearly equivalent to the eleventh prytany and Thargelion.

So the completephrase may be developedas the conventional [d'v8p]Es [d]ya. [6]oi of honorary decrees, leaving in line 13 just the correct amount of space for the ethnic 'EpE-rptEv's,as suggested above.

With reference to Hesperica,IlI, 1934, p. 5, no. 6, one may now read lines 12-14 as follows:

[K] ai 'ApXE'XE(o AC'-Xp(oV[o? XaXKl8JZ9 K] [a]i NlKrq1(ras Ir[apX] ov ['EpErpLEEv aV8]

35. The documentpublishedin Hesperia, III, 1934, pp. 43-44 (no. 32) as part of a tribal decree yields a consecutive text with a stoichedon pattern of eighteen letters.

Lines 7-8 must have carried the name of the phyle which Timokrates represented as thesmothetes. The stoichedon order limits the choice to [AtcavrC8]avg or [AEawv-

C38]acu. For this use of the tribal name in the formula of resolution, see I.G., II,1163,line15.Myearlierrestorationwas[0vXE&r]qvb,utthepublishedphotograph shows that part of the tau should have been visible if this restoration were correct. Epigraphically it is much more probable that the fourth letter of line 8 was delta rather than tau.

36. The decree first published as Hesperica, III, 1934, no. 8 has yielded at least some of its meaning to further study, and it is possible now to make corrections in the reading and disposition of the text. The new version is presented here.

Evidently lines 8-9, at least, contained the names of men who belonged to sonme

reasonable to estimate that the board consisted of six members. It is clear that it numbered at least two, and (because of E'KaO-roivn line 13) probably more than two. No intelligible text can be decipheredin lines 4-6.

In restoring the later lines of the inscription I have made the assumption that syllabic division was employed, though I confess that in the earlier lines there is an apparent exception between lines 3 and 4. L)ow called to my attention some time ago that the restoration [e'vr)r lTpVravlK]w4 [i], which I had proposed as the place for erecting the stele, could not be correct because the letter before the preserved omega is notkappa.Itseemstomerathertohavebeeniota,sothatIsuggest [E'VCO'EXEvO-LVi]cot as a supplementwhich meets the requirementsof space and which names a known locale.

The preliminary reports from Athens indicate that several small unpublished fragments from the Epigraphical Museum are perhaps part of this inscription, but no account can be taken of them until there is an opportunity for further study.

The present text is of interest chiefly because of the names and titles of the trainers preserved in lines 15-17. These items can be restored completely with the aid of the corresponding passage in J.G., I12, 900, lines 21-23, which in turn can becorrected and restored from this inscription. It is clear from fragment b that the

0eo4T7)gwas Sosos. Hence this title should be restored for him in I.G., 11, 900,14

14 The suggested text in Hesperia, XI, 1942, pp. 300-301, note 57, is incorrect, and should b- replaced by the text suggested here.

40. Study of the stone in Athens. and of the published photographs, has mad( possible many new readings in the text of Hesperia, III, 1934, no. 17. In the follow ing version the restorations in lines 51-52 were supplied by Sterling Dow; those i] lines 20-23 were supplied by Meritt. The name in line 6 was read by Meritt an} Raubitschek, and the other readings and restorations of lines 1-49 and 53-56 wet communicatedfrom Athens by G. A. Stamires, whose study of the Agora documen has in many instances been a source of valuable help to the editors. Prompted by tl study of a small Agora fragment (Inv. No. I 1015c) which he had previously mi interpreted,16Meritt also proposes a new text for lines 115-120. A. W. Gomme, tyl letter, has called attention to the fact that Kromachos of Pallene (lines 124-126) was descendedfromKp&4,ua[xos]'OXvu,7Tto&C6HpolaXX-qvEvolfI.G.,II2,2374.

41. Several new fragments have been added to the stele of ephebic inscriptions publishedby Dow in Hesperia, IV, 1935, pp. 71-81, so that it is now possible to give
a more nearly complete, and in some instances, an improved text. In an addenadum to his earlier study Dow reportedtwo of these pieces.17One of them, itself consisting of two fragments, joins Fragments A
and E and so fills out the completewidth
of the upper section of the stele.8 I
give it here as A2. It was found in the
wall of a modern house in Section II
on February 14, 1935.

Fragment A':

Height of letters, ca. 0.008 m. Inv. No. I 286e.

No. 41. Fragment A

17 Loc. cit., p. 90, no. 37. The description of the larger piece should indicate that the left edge, not the right edge, is preserved.

18 Fragments already published are listed by Dow, loc. cit., p. 71. One should note that Frag- ment FF is Agora Inv. No. I 286d.

Sokolowski has already indicated the correct reading and restoration in line 18,'" and part of the sentence now appears on the new fragment: E'-[oo-avaro &EKat] Trv abowordtiav r[?)v EtIs AEX]04oiv. Several lines earlier (lines 13-14) a reading left by Dow without restoration should be [Ka't ras Xavwa]at3a E'[p3patoiv], and in line 14

(near the end) the reading 8-pov seems to me correct, rather than oz'V. The hitherto enigmatic letters at the bottom of Fragment E in line 28 are part of the name [eE] 9[Watptir] for the restoration, see I.G., 112, 1009, lines 7-8.

For the most part the restorations can be made with reference to similar docu- ments, particularlyI.G., 112, 1006-1011. The length of line at first was about sixty letters. This was increased in line 13 to sixty-five letters, in line 15 (according to my reckoning) to seventy-three letters, and then in line 21 to seventy-eight letters. There is very little uniformity, and one can notice that lines which contain proper names are apt to be somewhat more widely spaced than the others, doubtless so that more prominencemay be given to the names. In the second decree (lines 76-98) the lines vary in length from 77 to 89 letters, and subsequentlythroughout the text of the other decrees about this same average is maintained.20

Dow noted that the trainers must have been honored in the latter part of Decree I, as well as in Decree V. One of the new fragments discovered in Section I (E 1299) proves this to have been the case. The contribution of this fragment is represented in the text below in lines 40-48 and 57-58, though without further advice from Athens it is impossible now to say with certainty what its lateral position in the stele must have been. I publish the piece here as Fragment E2.

It is possible now also to present a photograph of Fragment FF, which gives the text of lines 50-56 and part of lines 76-78. This was mentioned by Dow in Hesperia, IV, 1935, p. 71, note 1, and the text was given by him (loc. cit., pp. 73-74) as lines 29-33h and lines 34-36.21

With the hel]pof other new fragments it is possible to recover an almost complete text of Decree II. Fragment H2, found in Section I (E 1298) joins Dow's Fragment H,andpreservespartofthetextoflines81-91. BelowthisFragmentG2makesajoin, and gives part of lines 92-102. I suspect also a join between Fragments G2 and G, but hesitate to claim it as certain until all the records are available. Fragment G2 was found in Section I and was also given the temporary number $11299. These pieces all must have further study in Athens, together with other small fragments found with them on or after February 27, 1937, and for which no texts are now available to me.22

19 B.C.H., LX, 1936, pp. 386-388. See also P. Roussel, B.C.H., LVIII, 1934, pp. 92-93.

20 I attribute the wider spacing which differentiates the preserved parts of Decree IV from Decree V to the presence of proper names rather than to a general relaxation. Cf. Dow, loc. cit., p. 77. 21 The patronymic which Dow records in line 33a does not appear on the stone, and in the

second crown I read only part of the word e [ovs].
22 One of these unpublished pieces is known to be 1333.

Although the entire inscription was cut by one hand there are nevertheless two different chancery styles discernible. Decrees I and II, from the archonship of Theodorides, usually omit iota adscript (there are exceptions); Decrees III, IV, and V, from the archonship of Dionysios, use iota adscript consistently. Decrees I and II spell with nu instead of mu before labials; Decrees III, IV, and V have the more usual mu. Examples of these differences are numerous in the text, and it is not neces- sary to single them out for reference. They do, however, condition the restorations. I have restored, for example, OrV1-7TpoEsfJoL in line 4 and OrV/L7TpoEsfJoL in line 116,23and followted the same style elsewhere.

This difference must depend on the source from which the stonecutter received

23 The reading from the stone of 7r4K7r7in Hesperia, IV, 1935, p. 73, line 3, is an error. The correct form is -rEvwFrn.

his copy. I suggest that the list of names, on the basis of this evidence, was prepared in the archonshipof Dionysios-not later-and that this fact is attested by the spelling 1Ka)mg3)vC8-&)in line 170. At least for Decrees III and.IV we know the name of the man (or part of the name) from whom the copy was received.?4The rypabE1',
or copy-clerk, apparently provided copies of these decrees of the previous year from the archives in the Metroon to be used by the stonecutter of the year of Theodorides. Probably the restorations in lines 102-103 and lines 114-115 complementeach other, so I suggest a common wording: acvrtypawEOS H+aLor ca.24 KaraG- ,raOE\tg E'rIT jr,\ pOv Kara qlcoHa Tia,pXog 'EnnparwAov lqn-rrtos E7TEV.25 Evi- dently there was a decree, proposed by Timarchos, which regulated the appointmentI of the dvrtypa4EvE, and which among other things defined his duties in charge of the records in the Metro6n. Inasmuch as Timarchos was active in political life and pro- posed a decree (not the one to which reference is here made) in 145/4,26 it is reasonable to suppose that his decree about the Metro6n was introduced at about the same time, approximatelyeighteen years before the archonshipof Dionysios.

In Decree II, lines 83-86 have already received a correct interpretation and helpful criticism from F. Sokolowski.27With reference to our earlier publicationone should note that it is the name, and not the patronymic, of the kosmetes which appears on the stone in line 79.

Decree III can be almost completelyrestored. Together with Decree IV it makes a pair which correspondto Decrees IV and V of I.G., 112, 1011. Hence the restora- tion in line 109 ought probablyto be KTTrov o-Eafvct instead of Xpvot,Oot EcfaJvcot as in lIesperia, IV, 1935, p. 75, line 65. In line 107 the phi in the phrase e' [iytE'a ] was cut over a nu, and in line 109 the first three letters were cut over the word Kat, evidently repeated erroneously from the end of line 108. A date in Elaphebolion is now confirmedfor Decree III by the discovery of Fragment I2. The date of Decree IV shouldprobablybe Mounichion,or later.

Dow has already observed that Decree V was passed by the Salaminians. It honors the trainers of the epheboi, who were also honored in Decree I, and so the seven citations with their names must have appeared at the end of the inscription. Parts of two citations are preserved, that of the o1TXo,4aXboeging on Dow's Frag- mentlM.

This fragment was brought into the Mtuseumof the Agora from the Stoa of

24 See Dow's suggestion, loc. cit., p. 79.

25 Dow assumed an error in the patronymic of the name of Timarchos, and corrected it to 'Er<tK>paT8ov. The reading of the stone is clear, and should not be chanlged,especially since the name E7r?paros is attested (cf. Pape-Benseler, W5rterbuch). This name, TV,apXos'E7n7[part]o0[V]

26 I.G., II2, 967 Dow, Prytaneis, no. 85. See also note 25, above. The date of the decree is

given by Pritchett and Meritt, Chronology, p. xxxi.

Attalos in February of 1936. It is a small piece, broken on all sides, but it preserves parts of two lines of text and parts of two wreaths. The height of the face is 0.05 m., the width of the face is 0.146 m., and the thickness is 0.10 m. It now bears the Agora Inventory Number I 3457.

The reading of this fragment has not been correctly given. The two preserved lines begin close to the left circle of the wreath, and the text should be read as fol- lows: [rov 6iXo Jjf.LaQXolovT]racq [v] | oXE'a.

The names of the epheboi were ar-
ranged in three columns. The 46 lines of
Column I name 6 tribes and 40 epheboi. The lines in Column II are more widely spaced, and the complete column must be restored with 3 tribes and 34 epheboi. Column III was spaced to correspond with Column II, and it may therefore be restored completelyto name 3 tribes and 33 epheboi, its last line being left uninscribed. The number of epheboi named in the total list, as restored, was 107, the figure de- mandedby the count 
EKalroV Erra of the text of line 87.29

Not all these epheboi escorted the Pythais to Delphi in the archonship of Diony- sios, for the Delphic inscription (Fontillesde Delphes, III, 2, 24) names only sixty- nine. Moreover, the Delphic text makes no mention of the adE'r7) Pedieus, son of Neandros, from the Kerameikos. Presumably he also was absent. The assistant

Artemidoros, son of Neon, of Tarsos did go to Delphi, and he is named O1rXo,paXoX

at the end of the list of trainers. There is no mention of him in the Athenian text, and his name should not be restored in the citations. These citations (lines 264-302) name the trainers who were honored in the decrees (lines 43-46, 133-136), and succeed each other in the same order. Patronymics seem not to have been used (cf. lines 273- 274), but they are known when other evidence is lacking from Fouilles de Delphes, III, 2, 24.

no.8465) thatintheDefixtouun11T1.abellae(ed.Wiinsch,no.42) thenamesFvtct'8zqs, KXE'av8po9rvtfwv8ov, and Ei9'(Evo9 OopatEv' appeared close together. I restore the demotic [eopacEv's] above in lines 1 and 4, but the date must be about one hundred and fifty years later than the predecessors in the same families from the fourth cen- tury. ApparentlyKv8&[ax]os [F]vti[fo]v[os] eopatE [vs] of I.G., 11, 6214 (fourth century B.C.) was also a relative. There is also a T'iFtc0v IllpoKXE'o[v ....] who appearsasguarantortoacontractorca.33413inI.G.,II2,2495. Heretherestoration should probably be Fvzt'baVIIpoKXE'o [vs Oopa(tEvs)]. The father llpoKXA rvtkWvog is named on a dedicatory inscription about the mniddleof the fourth century (I.G., 112, 12523).30

In view of the easy interchange of initial TN and KN,3' I suspect that Kv[t'ov] of Antiochis, who was one of the heroes of Phyle, may also have been a member of this family from 'rhorai. If so, the restoration in Hesperia, X, 1941, p. 288, line 67., should be changed from Kvov .... 'Ar-v] Ev1 to Kv[itrov ... eopat] Ev&. He may, indeed, have been identical with the elder rvtfiwv mentioned in I.G., I12, 12523. Alternatively, this elder Fvz4icom&ay have been identical with Kvctbv 'P [--],whose name appears on a grave monument of the early fourth century now published by

E. Vanderpoolin Hesperia, XIN, 1945, p. 149.

45. A stele of Pentelic marble, broken at the top, but with both sides and the bottom preserved, found on May 12, 1933, in a loose fill of earth in Section e. A small fragment, broken on all sides, was found at the same time and in the same place, but it makes no join with the larger piece. The sides of the stele were picked with a fine chisel; the back was rough and is now much worn and hacked.

Height of the face, 0.445 m.; width, 0.275 n.; thickness, 0.065 m. Height of letters, 0.017 m.
Inv. No. I 806.

The space allotted to each line was ca. 0.024 m. The lettering indicates a date near the beginning of the Christian era.

30 This is published by Kirchner amiongthe sepulchral inscriptions, but P. Wolters, Ath. Miltt., XIL, 1887, p. 268, noted that it was a dedication made by a hipparch. This has been recalled by 0. Walter, Ath. Mlitt.,LXVI, 1941, p. 152, note 1.

The fact that two paredroi and a secretary are mentioned indicates that the name to be supplied before them belongs to one of the principal archons,32while the small fragment may be tentatively so placed as to yield the restoration so [Xt,uapXoq]. My interpretation of the monument is that it contained also-above the record of the polemarchos-the rec- ords of the eponymousarchon and of

the basileus. The initial letter of line 2 may thus be explained as part of the name of the secretary of the basileus.

Cuttings in the bottom of the slab seem to have been designed to fit a bracket, or clamps, so as to fix the slab against a wall. Since the record of the polemarch required about 0.30 m. the sum of all three records would have been about 0.90 m. Added to the uninscribed portion at the bottom and a probable crowning moulding, this makes a plaque about 1.25 m. tall.

restoration of I.G., II2, 1738 presents some difficulty, but I believe it names an archon, his two paredroi, and a secretary.

It is difficultto explain the letter in line 2 without assuming that the record of the basileus precededthat of the polemarch. If one wishes to assume that this is rather the recordof the eponymousarchon (like Hesperia, II, 1933, p. 150), he may restore

[apXcwv] in line 3 and regard the letters Io - as the beginning of the archon's name. But this still leaves unexplained the lone letter of line 2.

In line 6 I have restored the one name attested in Kirchner's Prosopographia which suits the preserved letters. This name Pediokles is rare, and one may prefer an alternative reading of a double patronymic in lines 5-6, as follows: [.1e.- yovp I8]E Awo[---], representing both the adoptive and the natural father of the archon or polemarch, as the case might be. I have preferred to show a restoration which gives the more normal form.

It is possible that the secretary, Dion, should be identified with the Dion of I.G., II2, 1043, line 5, in which case the restoration there should be Aico[v 'A4qvtE]v'.

46. A block of Hymettian marble, found on May 24, 1933, built into a modern wall in Section I. The block had served as a threshold with the inscribed face upper- most, and before being used for the inscription it seems to have been part of a wall. The observed end of the stone has anathyrosis.

Men named Apollodoros are known to have belonged to the deme of Otryne in the Hellenistic period (cf. P.A., 1433-1435). It is not possible to identify surely the Apollodoros named here with any one of them, nor to say what the name of his son may have been. The hero Strategos, to whom the dedication was made,'is otherwise known at Athens from an inscription of the second century after Christ,33which deals, among other things, with the restoration of sacred shrines.

The lettering of this dedication indicates a date in the second century B.C. or later. Possibly the name of the,earchonto be restored is Charias of 164/3.34 The inscription can hardly be so early as Charikles of 196/5. Should it be later than Charias, there is no known archon within the probable range of date down into the first century. Hence the suggestion in the restoration above.

50. I owe to Wilhelm the suggestion, which I believe to be a good one, that

in Hesperia, III, 1934, p. 76 (no. 76) the restoration of the last line should be

51. Seven fragments of Hymettian marble. Fragments a-d unite to form a group with part of the base preserved. Fragment a (at the bottom, right) was found on April 28, 1933, in a modern foundation in Section H. Fragment b (at the bottom, left) and Fragment c (center) were brought into the museum from the Stoa of Attalos in February of 1936. Fragment d (top) was found on April 10,-1934, in a late fill in Section B.

Fragment e, broken on all sides, was found on October 16, 1933, in a modern house in Section B. Fragment f, also broken on all sides, was found on May 8, 1936, in Section KK. Fragment g is in the Epigraphical Museum at Athens (E.M. 2934) and is published here from a squeeze in the collection at the Institute for Advancecl Study.

Of these fragments, b and c have already been published as I.G., I12, 3152 and 3153, and c has been the subject of a more recent note by L. Robert in which he vindicates the reliability of Fourmont's original copy and proposes new restorations.35 Robert's arguments are now brilliantly confirmedby the rediscovery of the fragment in the Stoa of Attalos.

There is some doubt whether fragments and g belong with this inscription.
In 
the case of g I have seen only the squeeze. The letters are the same, and in spite
of the unusual decoration of the relief below them there is the same crown of olive leaves above that appears on fragments a-e. Also [AE/3]a8'a in line 28 exhibits the same orthography as [ll]vOar)a in line 20 and omits iota adscript as does Aco&dv(-7q) in line 6.

Games named HvOuva(ioar HvOaE'a)are knowvnin Sparta (I.G., V, 659) and in Megara (I.G., VII, 48), and one of these should be restored in line 20. The text within the crowns in lines 9-10, 17-18, and 23-25 does not refer to the contests and categories of competition, as elsewhere. I suspect in lines 23-25 the name of the athlete honored, possibly an Athenian with demotic B-q[o-atE'a]. I should feel more confidenceabout it if it were possible to restore the same name in all three passages. Perhaps this can be done. The monumentwill then record honors voted to the athlete,

with the usual citations of the name within crowns, as well as the victories, also repre- sented by crowns, won in athletic contests.

The positions assigned in the text above to fragments trary. I believe only that the crowns which contain the athlete's name (if this interpretation is correct) should be near together and preferably at the same height on the stone.

Dow's association of the two fragments is confirmedby the fact that the deme Paiania (line 15) belongs to the tribe Pandionis (line 7). The privilege of setting up an E&KWV EV oirAXw(line 4) was frequently given in the prytany-decrees of the first century to the honored treasurer of the prytaneis. In spite of the difficulty of interpreting many of the lines of the present text, it is perhaps reasonable to suggest that it is a decree honoring the treasurer of Pandionis, with an appendedlist of the prytaneis of that tribe arranged according to demes, and without patronymics.

Shear calls attention to the desirability of datirngthe inscription before 102 A.D., because the emperor Trajan is named in line 1 without the cognomen Dacicus, an(l he identifiesthe priest of the Muses, T. Flavius Pantainos, with the archon of approxi- mately the same date, [H[]avatvoa Yapy[ rrto1]."36 This identification may indeed be correct, though it should be noted that the absence of demotics in our present text indicates that the men named were not Athenian citizens when the dedication of the library was made. Our suggestion is that the priest came from the famous library in Alexandria.37 Pantainos, the archon, was of course an Athenian.

The father of Pantainos was Flavius Menandros, and Pantainos named his owln son after him. But the grandfather had the distinguished post of ta&8oXogatitle given to the heads of various Schools at Athens, which the son was evidently prou(d to record with his name. The remains of the building of which this lintel formed a part have not yet been completelystudied, but a preliminaryground plan may be seei in Hesperia, IX, 1940, Plate I (no. 28), -in which the outer porticos are clearly delineated.

Shear has published in Hesperia, V, 1936, pp. 41-42, a stone from the Agora (Inv. No. I 2729) which gives notice of library regulations and which was found

near the dedicatory inscription recorded here.

Publius Appuleius Varus is not named in the Prosopographia InmperiiRonani2, unless indeed one deems it possible that he is the same as the famous author and philosopher (no. 958). So little is known of the author's name that this contingency may be given at least some consideration, though one ought to mention the slight evidence of one codex that his praenomen was Lucius.38 On the other hand, if the inscription belongs to an earlier date, a possible identification may be made with the Appuleius of Iuscr. de Delos, no. 1702.

This commemorative inscription honors the father of the famous philosopher. Reasons of symmetry preclude here the possibility of expanding pi and alpha in line 2 as a demotic, and the narrow width of the stone suggests that the fragment is part of a herm.

From about the same date as this text we possess a letter to the Epicureans at Athens from Plotina, the wife of Trajan (I.G., 112, 1099) and a record of her inter- cession with Hadrian to extend the rights of succession to those also who were not Roman citizens. The new inscription makes a small documentary contribution to the activity of the school.

This inscription seems to be like that for
Erechtheis published by Dittenberger as 
I.G.,
III, 3868 ('EpEXOZSat),and not repeated in
Kirchner's editio m1inor of the dedications.
Dittenberger's text was taken from Pittakys,
L'anzcienenAethenes, p. 288, who recordedmerely
" Sur un fragment le mot: EPEXOIAAI." Dit-
tenberger edited the text to read 'EpEXO(E)8aU, and added the note: Si modo Pittakis haec recte exscripsit, anathema fuit a tribu Erechtheide dedicatum.

A similar interpretation may be given to the present text. Evidently it was a dedication by the tribe Aiantis. One is inclined to assume that there may have been similar dedications by all the tribes, and the date of the lettering suggests that they may all have been statues of Hadrian. The reasons for the erasure remain obscure.

A thin vertical guide-line marks the left face of the column of names. For this reason, and also because of the extent of uninscribed stone at the left, it must be assumed that the present text belongs to a column of the original monument other than the first. The tribal connection is indicated by the name of the deme Sypalettos, which-so far as present evidence shows-remained throughout antiquity wholly in Kekropis.39

ERYTHRAI AND ATHENS

77. Last year I publishedthree fragments which I thought belongedwith known decrees concerning Erythrai (I.G., 12, 10-13).4 The stoichedon pattern, so far as it could be determined,was in all instances the same, but there remained the thickness of the fragments that had to be questioned in further study. I am now convinced that a difference in thickness between fragments a and b of I.G., P2, 12/13 was the ground on which Nesselhauf based his assurance to Highby that these two stones were from different monuments." The larger Agora fragment (Hesperia, XIV,

1945, p. 82, no. 2 a) has approximately the same thickness as- I.G., I2, 12/13 b (0.093 in.). This may now be stated with confidence,though one must still compare the treatment of the reverse surfaces before claiming finally that they belong together.

Neither can belong with I.G., 12, 12/13 a, and since neither has any mention of Erythrai in its text it is best provisionally to assume that they have nothing to do with that city or with the other Erythraian documents. Similarly, the attribution of Hesperia, XIV, 1945, no. 2 b and no. 2 c must be considereduncertain.

This leaves for Erythrai only those fragments which mention the name: I.G., I2, 10 (known solely from Boeckh's publication of Fauvel's copy), I.G., 12, 11 (in the British Museum), and I.G., 12, 12/13 a (now in Athens). Quite recently I have had an opportunity of examining the stone in London.45 It has a rough back with som-e few marks that may represent strokes of a chisel. If they are such strokes, the back is probablyoriginal. Rough as it is, it may be original anyway. The thickness varies

from 0.15 m. to 0.18 m., and is thus almost precisely that recorded for the fragment still preserved in Athens.46 There is no published record of the thickness of I.G., 12,10; and I doubt if it will be known for certain unless the stone (or some part of it) is recovered.

So I.G., 12, 11 may be assigned to the same text with I.G., 12, 12/13 a. Neither has rho with a tail, in spite of the notes by Hiller," though the London fragment has many different shapes of rho, mostly quite angular and all more or less so. The only obstacleto uniting both fragments with I.G., 2,10 is the apparentprevalenceof the rho with tail in that inscription.48Highby has considered this and come to the con- clusion that the rho with tail in Boeckh's version of Fauvel's copy may be attributed to the printer (C.I.G., I, Add. 73 b).49

In my judgment the use of the rho with tail was an embellishmentof the text introduced by Fauvel, or whoever it was that made Boeckh's copy. Whenever he knew the word he wrote rho with a tail: line 3, rptOv, 'EpvOpaiov,irapo-t; line 7, 'Epv6paiov; line 8, a'vpas; line 10, rptca'Kvra;line 11, rErTapov;line 14, ---apXov; line21'E,pvt1paiov; line29,h&Epov;line31,xp4tara,'EpvOpa'ov;line32,rvpa'vvov3, 'EpvOpaiov;line 35, 'EpvOpatov, XPEIaTa; line 38, EpvOp&n. This is a formidable array, but less significant than the mistakes which show the character of the letter in cases where the word was not known. Occurrences of rho with tail copied for sonmeother letter may be dismissed as of no value in evidence for our present purpose: line 7 (beginning), probably for epsilon; line 14, for the initial letter of E'-Epas;'? line 31, for epsilon in 8E'. There are left the following instances: line 4, tau for rho in hLEp0to1w6 (implying no tail) ; line 5, iota for rho in TptOV (implying no tail), rho for rho in 7Tpiato-Oat(implying a tail, but Fauvel may have guessed the word); line 6, kappa for rho in hdEpEav(implying a tail), omikron for rho and iota for rho in 'EpvOpatoov(both cases implying no tail) line 13, rho for rho in ~po'papXov (implying a tail), but in the same word pi for rho (implying no tail) and rho without a tail

(but rounded) in its own right; line 14, pi for rho in rptaKovTa (implying no tail) line 15, rho for rho in E'rapaJiEvos (implying a tail); line 17, kappa for rho in htEp6v

of line 45, where rho with tail occurs twice, are uncertain. When one bears in mind the possibility that Fauvel thought all the rho's had tails and that he so wrote them whenever he knew from the context what the letter was it is not surprising that some letters which actually were rho, even in unintelligible words, should be so recorded.52But it is surprising to find also that letters we now know to have been rho were copied by Fauvel as iota (four times), pi (twice), nu (twice), once as rho without a tail, andasomikronandtau. WherewefindthatFauvelwasnotexercisinganintellectual judgment about the identity of the letters he copied the evidence favors rho's without tails in I.G., P2 10. Yet it must be concededthat the evidence is ambiguous, and that the two instances of kappa for rho, at least, would be more comfortably explained if the rho's had tails.

Both Fauvel's copy and the Athens fragment are to be restored with a stoiche- don line of 47 letters.53 Both unquestionably deal with Erythrai. And these are the considerationsthat led Highby to bring them together. Another small consideration may now be added, for lines 17-19 of I.G., 12, 10 make reference to an oath to be sworn by the Erythraian demos, and the formula of this oath appears in I.G., 12, 12113 a. Last year I ventured the suggestion 5 that more might yet be done with Fauvel's text. Now I wish to propose readings for lines 17-19 which, except possibly at the begin- nings of lines 18 and 19, must surely give what was once on the stone. Indeed, much of what I suggest is even in Fauvel's copy-like the verb Ka-raKatEv-but not recog- nized by editors of the document:

/---roXeva ,Ev H'X[E o]4oV Kacra[KaCt]

52 Fauvel's copy was communicated to Boeckh by H. K. E. Koehler, of St. Petersburg. One wonders whether Boeckh depended on Koehler's copy of Fauvel's copy (apparently Boeckh thought he had the original) or whether Boeckh's directions to the printer were to use angular rho, the result being a rho with tail when Boeckh intended one without (this is almost the same as Highby's view, but seems unlikely because Boeckh must have noticed the error when he read the proof). Our conclusion is that the rho with tail goes back at least to Koehler, and if to him probably to Fauvel. It is more difficult to explain how Fauvel came to make the error in the first place. Never- theless, the stone must have been badly corroded and he may have mistaken the shapes of one or two rho's at the beginning and gone on recording them incorrectly throughout. Or perhaps it is best not to try to rationalize the error; if we had only Hiller's notes on I.G., I2, 12/13 a and the stone were lost, we should have thought that it too had rho with a tail. A cursory inspection of Fauvel's copies of other early Athenian inscriptions reveals that when he saw rho with a tail in C.I.G., I, Add. 527 b he failed to recognize it, and copied a sigma with three bars instead.

53 R. Meiggs, J.H.S., LXIII, 1943, pp. 33-34, has made an epigraphical analysis of the Erythrai decrees which deserves careful attention. He discusses the form of rho in I.G., J2, 10, and the length of line. Highby's difficulties with the stoichedon pattern, which led Meiggs to think that perhaps the text was not stoichedon, can all be overcome; I regard a stoichedon line of 47 letters as practi- cally certain.

The words KaTa hEpEo8VKato,uEvov were in part deciphered by Kirchhoff at the beginning of line 17; thus it is a natural continuation to read the lines that followed as specifying the value of the sacrifice. Of especial interest is the discovery that the Demos, like the Council, was required to take an oath, and that it should be over burnt offerings of no less value. The text of the bouleutic oath is given in lines 20-28 of I.0., 12, 10, but the oath of the Demos was not recorded until the end of the inscription, in lines 15-17 of I.G., 12, 12113 a.

In Hiller's version of the text, as also in Highby's, the last sentence has been incorrectly restored, for it implies that one stele (XtOt'VEoTtE`XEt being singular)56was set up in Athens and in Erythrai, and it gives to Erythrai, apparently, the extra- ordinary privilege of vetoing the whole decree: [--- av Kat 'EpvOpatotg 8oXO-E]l -rav^[ira]. Surely this cannot be right. These lines provide for inscribing the present document (rair-a) and the oath Just recited (-rowv ho'pKOV) and the oath of the Council

(Kat TOv hOpKOV TO?VTE` /3oXE, I.G., 12, 10, lines 20-28) on a stone stele on the acropolis; on the acropolis at Erythrai the phrourarch, so I assume, was directed to inscribe the same.57

78. There are new facts to report about I.G., 1, 6, the text of which I published last year in Hesperia as no. 1 (XIV, 1945, pp. 61-81).

tional text of Face A necessitated a new examination of this stone in London, and earlier this year I spent two days studying the readings not only of Face A, but of Faces B and C as well.58

The new text from the lower part of Face A may be presented as follows (cf. Hesperia, XIV, 1945, p. 79):

In lines 45-46 the adverb may be read alternatively asp [E]8E
the letter hitherto read as the rho of [- -1 pao-Oa seenmedto me, when I saw the stone, better read as iota. If the letter is iota the verb [,8]tao-Oatis almost inevitable. Nor- mally one would expect ,8taLEO-Oabtu,t the rarer form may not be out of place in this early decree about Eleusinian affairs, and if Taylor's judgment is correct, though he disagrees with Kiihner-Blass, the present passive /3tara- appears in the Timaeus of Plato (63 C). Hence the verb may not be completely foreign to Attic Greek, and I should interpret the form here in question also as present passive: The Athenian shall not in any way be forced from the land of any one of these cities, unless he has been convicted in a local court or has gone over to the enemy." At the end of line 46 there is no trace of tau of r[t]s, and the sigma is surely kappa. The word to be restored must be [&I K[E]v, with the alleged upsilon on I.G., 12, 9 being read as nu.

Presumably the last two strokes of it alone were preserved. In line 47 E1Oiro becomes ,,
E Es IO-.

In lines 48-51 the relative clause ends with EOE'XEL"Whatever one of the cities is not willing shall have recourse to arbitration with the Athenians by agreement." Clearly here is mention of the &K3Kal Ji-oi (vpoXwv and a valuable addition to our testimonia concerning them."9 The letter usually read as nu in Xo-vvoXovin line 51 isbeta:itsverticalstrokemeasures0.013mna.ndthetopandbottomslopingstrokes each measure 0.008 m.

the letter read as mu of [e] is alpha. Part even of the theta following it is preserved, to yield the reading 'AQEvat[ot]o-urv.

These necessary changes in the accepted readings of Face A emphasize the great difficulty that scholars have experienced in deciphering the letters of this worn and corroded surface. I wish to record here two other observations in earlier lines,though I have no suggestions for a continuous text:

In line 42 the word after EX06o-avseems to have been aJ&K[C. ]. believe that the first three letters are certain. This suggestion was made to me by A. M. Woodward, and the study of the stone confirms it.

In lines 43-44 the word hEV [i] o-Ealv] is doubtful. The fourth letter looks like omikron, and I see no reason now, from the stone, why the fifth letter should be sigma. I should think he [/3]oXE'a possible reading except that the fifth letter looks no more like lambda than it does like sigma. The doubtful mu of hEq[i]L-ca [v] I think may have been almost any letter.

On Face B there is an error in my transcript of last year (loc. cit., pp. 78-79) in line 11. Instead of roZ'the correct reading, as given by earlier editors, is roto-t. I made also something of a point that the masculine relative ho[i] in line 32 could not refer to the feminine 1oXE0-Lv which immediately precedes it, and my suggestion was to read the clause as an expression of purpose: ho[s] av xpovrat. It was at once evident, upon examination of the stone, that the second letter of line 33 was not nu but iota. Hence all difficulties of interpretation are resolved by the reading [ho-] at Xpovrac,the verb being in the indicative mood.

Face C continues to offer its full share of unsolved problems, but two minor points may be disposed of at once. The verb in line 20 (Hesperia, XIV, 1945, p. 77) is avEXoro. Lambda, not delta, is quite clear upon the stone. And in line 29 thereadingis7XEiog,not7rXEOogT.henecessaryadjustmentintheinterpretationisnot great, and is easily made.

Last year made no restoration of lines 22-25, and I realize that it is hazardous to do so even now. But one may go a certain way with confidence. In line 22 the tenth letter from the end is nu. In line 94 I believe that one may write [U]V i;Erq,T the upsilon determined more by the general aspect of weathering than anything else and the sigma represented by its preserved upper stroke. At the end of the line the letters are EVE[---1. Almost the bottom third of the last epsilon is preserved. In any event the restoration cannot have been E' because one notes

be the specificationof the amount the Eumolpidai and Kerykes are to receive. If one tries to restore an amount at the end of line 22, there is hardly room to prepare a subject for what has always been taken as the verb OE'XEiLn the middle of line 23, and it is awkward if the amount is postponed until after the verb. This consideration, together with the fact that where the same verb appears in line 49 of Face A the form is E6OE'XE,leads me to suggest a radically different solution, and to take the letters in the middle of line 23 as part of the genitive plural OEXEL[ov]. In a measure, this read- ing is supportedby the fact that the letter after [h]EKa6o--oin line 22 seems to have been pi. The perquisites of the Eumolpidai and the Kerykes were five portions from the female sacrificial victims, and the following restoration assumes that they could initiate no one-unless &k'Eo-Irtacs-WhO had not met the obligation of this sacrifice. The ir[E]v[[-E pE] of line 22 have the same meaning, for example, as the 7rEvTE

JEp8a& of I.G., 12, 334, lines 8-16, and the use of OEXE6o[v] in line 23 is paralleledby that of 1.G., 112, 21316v1, linesvt6v-7: &Ao'vat 8e ra iEpELt%vvct p ]v 6WrqX[e]tv CEpEat, -r8vE3a&ppEvwv -rWEpEt. At the end of line 23 a vertical stroke after the phi

(which may have belonged to epsilon) confirms the restoration a+' E[o-ritas. In line 26 a double mark of punctuation follows [/xvoEdv]o, and so ends the clause.60

The most significant changes in readings gleaned from a study of the stone occur in lines 33 and 34. Unquestionably the main body of line 33 is occupied by the phraseEX[O-E]ivat 'AOEV[aCdots]T.hestonehereyieldsreadingswhichareacom- bination of Cr6nert's and of my own. And the riddle of iav7iTav o Xot7o6vin line 34, always unsatisfactory, is solved by the reading h[4]og aiv oXo[vrat]. This clause comes to an end in line 36, and -as have restored it-may be translated as follows: "It shall be permitted to the Athenians to take care for the protection of the sacred money as long as they so desire just as for the money of Athena which is on the acropolis."

The next clause, lines 36-38, states that the hieropoioi shall steward the money on the acropolis. I have a note on line 37 that the initial tau in the phrase r[o] ro[Z 6E0ot1v does not show clearly and may perhaps have been epsilon; the note continues with a query whether the restoration may not be [Ev] rod[t htEpot].

Lines 38-42 present still a serious problem, though there is little to add in the way of new readings. The left stroke only is preserved from the last letter in line 39. It slopes slightly. There is nothing certain preserved from the third letter of line 40; it need not have been omikron. The fifth letter of line 40 has left no trace, but there is uninscribedstone to show that it cannot have had a broad lower stroke, as of delta or epsilon. Letters like pi and nu are possible. At the end of line 42 the stroke following mu is upright and correctly placed for epsilon. believe that it should be so read.

60 Forthetextsseebelow,p.253. IwishtothankW.S.Fergusonforhelpfulsuggestions. In lines 39-40 I regard the problem of restoration as still unsolved.

Possibly the clue to how these lines should be restored is given in an item of

the Kerykes do not appear. The single delta is not much on which to base the name,

but if the succeeding lines do in fact call for a monthly record of the initiates the known responsibility of the Eumolpidai for this record makes the restoration almost a necessity. My suggestion is that the Eumolpidai also had charge of the roster of orphans, and that these last lines are concernedonly with the keeping of the rosters, and the publishing of them, and that they offer no evidence for the place of ,IUvu-ctr

The photographsof the London fragment publishedlast year (Hesperia, XIV, 1945, pp. 64-65) were intended to show the relative disposition of the three faces of the stone, but the result has not been entirely successful. Face B must be lowered

slightly (toward the bottom) in its relation to Face A. What I had taken for traces of the set-line on Face B turn out to be quite extraneous markings and may be dis- regarded. The chequer pattern of the stoichedon order on both Faces A and B is 0.018 m. (vertical) by 0.0173 m. (horizontal). On Face C the horizontal measure- ment is almost the same (0.0175 m.) but the vertical unit is smaller (0.0176 m.), and the chequer pattern evidently was planned in squares.
