FOREWORD
The present volume, No. XIX in the series on the Athenian Agora, is the third devotedto inscriptionson
stone. The first epigraphic volume, No. XV, The Athenian Councillors(1975) by the late Benjamin D.
Meritt and John S. Traill, contains all known epigraphictexts recordingthe activitiesof the Councillors.
No. XVII, The Funerary Monuments, by the late Donald W. Bradeen (1974), deals with all gravestones
found in the excavations.
The present volume is triple in both substanceand authorshipbut homogeneousin that all its parts are
alike in presentingdocumentsof civic importance.In Part I Gerald V. Lalonde publishes all the boundary
markers (horoi)found in the excavations.Only a small proportionof the stones had stood originally in the
ancientAgora;the majority,as in the case of the tombstones,had been broughtinto the area in late times for
re-use.
Part II, by Merle K. Langdon, comprises all known epigraphic records of the transactionsof the
Vendors (poletai), a boardof civic officialsresponsiblefor the sale or lease of public and confiscatedproper-
ty, the lease of mines and taxes, and the letting of contractsfor public works. The majorityof the stoneshave
been found in the excavationof the Agora where all the recordswere originally displayed.
In Part III Michael B. Walbank deals with the terms and procedurefor the leasing of public and sacred
property.The responsibleofficialsmight be those appointedby the state, i.e. the Vendors,or representatives
of lesser political bodies such as demes, or spokesmenfor sacredestablishmentssuch as sanctuaries.By no
means all the recordsof such transactionsneed have been set up in the Agora, but the present study is con-
finedto those inscriptionsthat surely had stoodin the Agora and that are now to be foundeither in the Agora
ither
Museum or in the EpigraphicalMuseum in Athens.
In keeping with the policy,announced in The Athenian Agora XV, p. v, the authors of the present
volume have confinedtheir editions to texts based on fresh autopsy with epigraphicnotes and bibliography
but without translationor detailedcommentary.In each part of the volume, however,the catalogueof texts
is precededby a discussion of the theme based on all the available evidenceboth epigraphic and literary.
Again in line with establishedpractice in this epigraphic series, illustration is generally confinedto those
stones for which photographsare not availableelsewhere, almost always in Hesperia.
The individual authors have made their personal acknowledgmentsto helpful colleagues and bene-
fact or s in turn deservethe gratitudeof the PublicationsProgramof the Agora Excavations
for the years of back-breakingand eye-trying labor devotedto the study of these precious but sadly frag-
mentedpublic recordsof ancient Athens. Equally deservingare the Editor and her staff who have made the
results of all that researchso readily accessibleto the reader.
The manuscriptsfor two more epigraphicvolumesare now nearingcompletion:Vol. XVI, The Decrees
by GeoffreyWoodheadand Vol. XVIII, The Dedicationsand Imperial Lettersby Daniel J. Geagan.

PREFACE
In cataloguing the inscribed horoi found during the excavation of the Athenian Agora by the American
School of Classical Studies, I have dividedthe texts into seven principalcategories,and within these catego-
ries I have further arranged the inscriptionsaccordingto textual variations and, insofar as they could be
dated, in chronologicalorder.The usual statistics,bibliography,and notice of publishedillustrationprecede

the editedtext of each inscription.Photographsof horoi in this volume are limited to heretoforeunpublished
examples and a few others that illustratethe variety of types discoveredin the Agora.
To the scholarswho have studied these and similar inscriptionsbefore me, especially the late J. V. A.
Fine and the late M. I. Finley in the case of the securityhoroi, I am much indebted.I would like to thankthe
membersof the PublicationsCommitteeof the AmericanSchoolof Classical Studiesat Athens who gave me
helpful advice about the form of this work. Particular thanks are due to the Field Directors of the Agora
Excavations,Homer A. Thompson (1946-1967) and T. Leslie Shear,Jr. (1968 to present),for puttingthese
documentsat my disposal for study and publicationand for giving me accessto the fine staff and facilitiesof
the Stoa of Attalos. I mentionin particularthe late SpyrosSpyropoulos,Agoratechnician,whose friendship,
generosity,and assistanceduringthis and other projectsare cherishedmemories.I am gratefulto StephenG.
Miller and William D. E. Coulson, past and presentDirectorsof the AmericanSchool,and to their staffs for
extendingto me the hospitalityand privilegesof the Schooland its Blegen and GennadiosLibraries.When I
had occasionto study inscriptionsin the National EpigraphicalMuseum at Athens, the cordialhelp of the
Director, K. Peppa-Delmouzou, and her staff was very much appreciated.Special thanks are due to Doro-
thea Lalondeand Pamela Lalondefor their help in preparingthe manuscript.I am gratefulto my co-author,
Michael B. Walbank, for collating the indices to this volume. I am greatly indebtedto Marian H. McAllis-
ter, Editorof AmericanSchool Publications,and her staff for their skillful and patient assistancethroughout
the processof editing. Finally I would like to express my deep gratitudeto Grinnell College and to Agnese
Lindley and the Trustees of the Agnese Lindley Foundation,whose interest and generositymade possible
my pursuit of this work.

HOROI
Horoi are among the many types of inscriptionsfound in extraordinarynumbersin the area of the ancient
Agora. This epigraphicalbounty is the result of the extent and intensivenessof the excavationshere and of
the area's having been a focal point of Athens throughoutits history.A very small numberof the horoi are in
situ, and not many more can be assigned to known establishmentsin the ancient Agora. Most of the stones
are not traceableto any identifiableproperty,and the great majorityof these, includingcertainlythe numer-
ous private funeraryand securityhoroi, were broughthere throughthe ages as incidentalbuilding material.
Thus, the inscribedmarkerscataloguedbelow are to be viewed and understoodnot so much in the contextof
the Agora as in that of the whole city.
NATURE AND PURPOSE

Whether the original meaning of b'poswas "boundary"or "watcher",1Wade-Gery has shown that the word
is not always to be translatedas "boundarystone";many inscribedhoroi, especiallysecuritymarkers,did not
delimit property but only marked its general location and provided informationabout it.2 These simple
markers,however,sharedwith true boundarystones the purposeof protectingpropertyfrom encroachment
or violationand, in the case of securityhoroi, protectingthe real estateof creditors.The integrityof property,
public or private, was supportedby strong religious sanctions,of which the horoi were both practicaland
symbolic expressions. A lst-century B.C.Athenian decree from Eleusis3 mentions Athena Horia and Zeus
Horios as protectorsof boundariesor horoi. Plato (Laws 842E-843A) probablyreflectscontemporarylaw
when he puts at the head of his codeon agriculturea statuteagainstthe movingof another'shoroiand asserts
that violatorsshall be guilty at the bar of heaven and that of the law. The texts of horoithemselvessometimes
includeprohibitionsagainst violationof the property:a markerin the Amphiareionin Oropos (IG VII, 422)
forbidsbuilding within the boundariesof the sanctuary;two horoi of the Athenian Koinon of the Eikadeis
(IG II2, 2631, 2632) warn against the dumping of trash on their property.In 422 B.C. the Athenian Demos
decreed (IG I3, 78, lines 54-59) the protectionby horoi of shrines in the Pelargikon,the impeachmentof
violatorsbeforethe Boule, and a statutoryfine of 500 drachmas.A decreeof 352/1 B.C. (IG II2, 204) ordered
the re-establishmentof horoi on the Eleusinian tepyaoIpyast(sacredland), which had been invadedby private
parties. Disputes between private citizens over boundariesand their markerscould be settled amicablyby
mediation or arbitration,or through such judicial processesas biLabLKacria,NiK71 ovo-las, or lK71 fovAs.4
While horoi were not a priori proof of ownership in such litigation, they were sometimescited as evidence,
especially if the correctnessof their locationcould be in some way verified.5
Below the ultimate authority of the Boule and Demos, the protectionof public property was the re-
sponsibility of particular magistrates and, when circumstanceswarranted, of ad hoc commissions.Plato
(Laws 760B) and Aristotle (Politics 1321b.18-30) drew on the Athenian constitutionwhen they allocated

the superintendenceof boundariesin their philosophicalcities and countrysidesto aorvvot1Aot and aypo-
v6oAotrespectively.Ath. Pol. 50 reflectsthe historicalreality of this assignment,at least as regardsthe Asty-
nomoi, when it notes that these magistratesare to see that building constructionsdo not encroachon city
streets.6Various other officials,however,sharedthese responsibilitieswhen the boundariesin questionwere
in their jurisdiction. The Basileus, as chief religious magistrate, oversaw the placement of horoi in the
shrines of the Pelargikon (IG I3, 78, lines 54-55) and around that of Kodros (IG I3, 84, lines 6-8), and
the Hierophant and Dadouchostook part in the re-establishmentof the boundariesof the Eleusinian tepa
opyad (IG II2, 204, line 13). These last two projectswere of such importanceor magnitudethat the Athe-
nians augmentedthe forceof magistratesby the appointmentof specialcommissionsof optoatl ("Boundary-
men").The commissionersfor the Eleusinian temenos were not explicitly called Horistai, but they clearly
had duties similar to those of boardsof that title at Athens and elsewhere.7This body of ten men from the
generalcitizenryand five(?) fromthe Boule (lines 5-7) was to hold sessionsof inquiry for five days in the city
Eleusinion, to determinethe correctboundariesof the temenos (lines 10-12), and to see to the placementof
new horoi (lines 74-75).
CHRONOLOGICAL RANGE
The historyof horoi in Athens, as in all of Greece,probablygoes backbeforeliteratetimes, but the evidence
for pre-inscriptionalstones is slight and speculative;we might posit their use on the analogy of a variety of
uninscribednatural and artificialboundarymarkersof the Classical and Hellenistic periods;8furthermore,
horoi are mentionedin very early literature, such as the Iliad (12.421-423; 21.404-405) and, at Athens,
the iambic lines attributedto Solon (Ath. Pol. 12.4-5). Athens has yielded inscribedgravestonesas early as
the late 7th century, but its earliest extant horoi are from the second half of the 6th century:the Archaic
boundarystones of the Agora (H25-H27) are dated about 500 B.C., and the rupestralhoros of Zeus on the
Hill of the Nymphs (IG I2, 863) shows somewhatearlier letter forms. While most horoi can be dated only
from their letter forms, and the shabby lettering of funerary and security horoi is particularlydifficultto
date, it is fair to say that the great majorityof Athenianstonesare fromthe Classicaland Hellenisticperiods.
Of the horoi from the Agora excavations,twelve at most can be dated to the 3rd century or later, and the
Roman period is representedby only three stones (H18, H23, H24). Thus, inscribedhoroi in general were
used in Athens from the late Archaic period through Roman times, although, as will be shown below, the
peculiarlyAthenian trittys markersand securityhoroi had shorterhistories.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Enough Attic horoi have been found that the range of their physical properties can be readily assessed.
Practicallyall identifiablehoros inscriptionsare cut on natural rock, stelai, or wall blocks. The rupestral
inscriptionsare understandablya minoritywithin Athens,but their use in the outlyingplains and mountains
to mark shrines, farms, mines, tombs, and other propertieswas widespread.As difficultas these texts are to
notice in the field, new specimensare discoveredregularly.The predominantmediumof horos texts within
the city was the stele of marble or limestone, rectangularin shape9and rough picked except for the upper
front face, which was dressed smooth as a backgroundfor the inscription.Sharing with modernsigns the
objectivesof conspicuousnessand easy legibility, the texts of horoi are usually brief and cut in large letters.
Except for a few examples of vertical (H2, H31) and retrograde(H26) lettering,10the texts are horizontal

and orthogradewith little sculptural embellishment.11Leaving aside the private horoi (funerary and se-
curity stones) and trittys markersfor discussionbelow, we can sum up the texts of other horoias usually, but
not always, including the word b'posand usually having one or more of the following informativeelements:
type of property(e.g. H22); epithet or descriptionof the property(H33, H34); name of the divine or human
owner (H6; IG I2, 870); epithet of the owner (H10); prohibitionor warning (IG I2, 870); dimensionsof the
property (H23, H24). A number of horoi are written in unsystematicabbreviations,usually with the pur-
pose of getting large letteringon a limited space:e.g., OX for o'(pos)X(wplo)(IG 12, 879), OPSIIM probably
for o'p(os)7r(apaAila KaL)c,u(o-oyaias),12 and hopos K (IG I2, 876), where the kappa may standfor KpeVs.13
LOCATION AND ORIENTATION

Despite the great numberof extant boundarystonesfromAttica, not enoughof them have been foundin situ
to suggest any clear-cut set of rules about location and orientation.The survival of one Archaic and three
Classical horoi around the Tritopatreionin the Kerameikos14 representsthe commonand practicalplace-
ment of stones on the limits, particularlythe corners,of property,with the inscriptionsfacing outwardso as
to be clearly visible to passersby.15There are, however, exceptionsto this simple and logical arrangement:
Some horoi have a single inscribedface referringto propertieson both sides of the boundaryline (e.g. IG I2,
887 a and b); the inscribedArch of Hadrian at Athens (IG II2, 5185), itself a boundarystoneof sorts,implies
a familiaritywith opisthographichoroi on which each inscriptionrefers to the land on its side of the boun-
dary.16In the realm of rupestralhoroi, the inscriptionsare usually cut on horizontalstretchesof rockwhen
available,but the orientationof texts to propertiesis less conclusivethan with stelai. On the west slope of Mt.
Hymettos above Kaisarianiis an exceptionalgroup of four simple rock-cuthoroi (OPOE), three equidistant
fromone anotherin a line, and the fourthat a right angle fromthe line at the same distance.17As one follows
the line and turn of these inscriptionsin a clockwisedirection,one reads all four texts right side up and at
right angles to the apparentboundarylines. Also noteworthyis the line of six rock-cuthoroi which appar-
ently demarkedCoastal and Inland Lamptrai. The texts are in a line roughly from east to west with the
bottomsof the letterstoward the south, and thus would be read right side up by one facingthe boundaryline
from the coastal side.18These cases are obviouslynot enough to yield clear patternsin the arrangementof
rupestral boundary inscriptions, but more thorough and systematic field study than is pertinent to this
volume would undoubtedlyproducemore satisfactoryconclusions.
HOROI OF SANCTUARIES
The ancient Athenians, having nothing like our notion of separationof church and state, thought of their
Agora as a religious domainas well as a politicalone. It is not surprisingthen that in the Agorainventory,as
The Grammarof Attic InscriptionsI, Berlin 1980, p. 55); IG 12,863 is printedas boustrophedon,but the two lines are really distinct
inscriptions.

8 I. HOROI
in that of the Attic Corpus, the horoi of sacred precincts comprise the largest class of public property
markers.19This is not to say, however,that all the sacral horoi cataloguedbelow once stoodin the Agora or
that the Agora did not have many more markersof shrines than can now be verified.Of the 25 sacral horoi
treatedhere, four (H7, H8 [in situ], Hll, H14) markedprecinctswithin or close by the Agora;five (H2 [in
situ], H5, H13, H18, H21) come from identified shrines at various distances from the Agora, and three
others (H3, H4, H6) are probablyof similar origin; the horos of a clan sanctuary(H20), one of a phratry
shrine (H131), and two of a large clan temenos (H23, H24) stood at locations,now unknown, beyondthe
Agora;the remaining nine (HI, H9, H10, H12, H15-Hi7, H19, H22) are from sanctuariesof unknown
location.Only three (H4, H9, H10) were found at Hellenistic levels and two (Hi9, H20) in Roman strata.
Except for these five and the two found in situ, all the sacral horoi were discoveredin late contexts.
Of the dislocatedhoroi,three (H7, Hll, H14) are fromthe majorprecinctsof Zeus Eleutherios,Apollo
Patroos,and the Metroon,respectively,all identifiedwith extantfoundationsalong the west side of the Agora.
Zeuthis hatision
epitherolibergotepithetupon the liberationsn
uponfrom the
of Athe site of his cult below the
KolonosAgoraioshad a modestshrine that antedatedthe Persian invasion.On the basis of its three-barred
sigma, the horos of Zeus (H7) is dated about the mid-5th century, but his Stoa was not constructeduntil
sometimeduring the PeloponnesianWar.20The horos, therefore,would have been first employedafter the
Peace of Kallias to delimit the precinct after it had beencleard cleared of industries that had squatted there in
the decadesafter Xerxes' retreat.At some time this stone was trimmedas if to fit a wall, possiblythat of the
Stoa itself or an old altar on the east side of the sanctuary.21
Although the horos of Apollo Patroos (HIt) is dated from its letter forms to the beginning of the 4th
century, a successorto the ruined Archaictemple of this god on the west flank of the Agora was not built
until about 330 B.C.22This stone, like that of Zeus Eleutherios,must have servedin the interveningyears to
mark the precinctin some open form after it had been cleared of the Persian rubble. The epithet Patroos
reflectsthe civil and religious characterof this cult, to which devotion,in eithe Agora shrine or that of
one's phratria,was a sign of eligibility for citizenshipand public office.23
The horos of the Metroon (HI4), dated about 400-350 B.C., is crudelyletteredfor an importantpublic
prlace of its finding
marker,but the relative proximity to the famous Metroon24just south of the precinctof
Apollo Patroos prompts assignmentto that temenos rather than to another of the Mother Goddess.25The
horos antedatesby at least two centuriesthe large Hellenistic Metroon, but that building was precededon
the site by an Archaictemple of the Mother, which Xerxes destroyed,and by the Old Bouleuterionof the
early 5th century,which the Atheniansrestoredafter the Persianevacuation.It must be to the latterbuilding
that mid-4th-centuryoratorsrefer when they speak of the Metroon as a depositoryof documents.26About
this time the horos would have been fashionedto mark either a shrine of the Mother inside the Old Bouleu-
terion or the entire temenos, including the open space to the north left vacant by the destructionof the
Archaictemple. Whether the horosstayedin place until the 2nd centuryand then continuedto servethe Me-
tro6n in its latest form is uncertain.Since this new buildingcoveredvirtuallyall the originaltemenos,it may
have had no need of boundarystones.
19 The Athenianswould have thoughtodd the divisionof sacraland civil horoi,but I have followedthis modernconvention.I have
not, however,distinguishedpublic sanctuariesfrom private (clan temene, for example, and their horoi [H20, H23, H24]).

HOROI OF SANCTUARIES 9
The small shrines of lesser deities and heroes would have had particular need of the security which
boundarystones could provide in an area like the Agora, where space was at a premium. In fact, some of
these heroa, which were originally constructedin associationwith Mycenaean and Geometrictombs and
were, in some cases, elaboratedin a religious reawakeningafter the Great Plague of 430 B.C.,27 had a partic-
ularly generous allotment of horoi. Just southwest of the Agora, a small three-sidedhieron of the late 5th
centurywas discoveredwith one horos (H8) in place and cuttingswhich are probablythe beddingsfor two
others.28A rectangularshrine of similar size and age near the center of the Agora Square had at least two,
and probablyfour, horoi, as we mayjudge from the stele beddingsat its survivingcorners.29This liberal use
of boundarystones may well be relatedto the vulnerabilityof the shrines.The triangularhieron stoodat one
of the busiest intersectionsof the ancient city.30Its rectangularcounterpartmust have encounteredstress
from the political and commercialactivities in the open square, particularlyin its early phase when horoi
guarded the sacred plot without benefit of walls.31But as the investigationsof these two shrines indicate,
neither the numbersnor the sanctityof horoi were proofagainst war, urban renewal, or the declineof piety.
During the PeloponnesianWar, when the rural populationof Attica crowdedinto the city and settledin and
around accessiblesanctuaries(Thucydides, 2.16.2-17), the triangularhieron fell into neglect, and within a
short time much of its walls and the horos at the northeastcornerwere buried in debris.32The rectangular
heroonin the Agora Square was ruined, and its boundarystoneswere destroyedor scatteredby the construc-
tion of the Middle Stoa about 180 B.C., but, except for a revivalnear the end of the 3rd century,33this shrine,
like many others of its type, was in disuse long beforeits final ruin. Such decline in devotionto heroesin the
Hellenistic age is evident in the scarcity of votive offerings from that period, in the number of sacral ho-
roi that were dislocatedby Hellenistic or Roman times, and in the rarity, after the 4th centuryB.C., of new
horoi which would be evidenceof the continuingestablishmentor revivalof minor cults.
Horoi with inscriptionsas brief as opos (H2), TOhLepo(H8), and opos lepo (H12, H17, H22) are vexing
to archaeologists,particularlywhen, as in the cases of H2 and H8, the stones are found in situ at precincts
which offer no clue to the identitiesof their gods or heroes.Atheniansmay usually have known by name the
beings honoredby these cryptic horoi,just as they may have known the specificcult or epithet of Zeus at a
shrine marked simply hopos Alto (e.g. IG I2, 863). The archaeologicalevidence,however, is rarely suffi-
cient to allow us to link anonymoushoroi with shrinesknown by name from literaryor epigraphicsources.34
It is plausible that some of the small unidentifiedsanctuarieswith their horoi, as well as some dedications
inscribedsimply rT) 7'pp,were intendedto honor heroizeddead who were not known by name.35A circum-
stantial argument for such anonymous heroizing can be made in the case of the early phase of a sacred
precinct in the southwest area of the Agora. This hieron has been tentativelyidentified as belonging to a
Hero Strategos,who is the subjectof a dedicatoryinscriptionof about 200 B.C.36and a provisionfor sacrifice
in a decreeof the 1st century B.C. (IG II2, 1035, line 53). The former inscriptionis the earliest evidenceof

this hero, but the reservationas sacredgroundof the area betweenthe Tholos and the putativeStrategeionis
very early and is probablyto be associatedwith a large family burial plot of the 8th and 7th centurieswhich
lay beneath.37If, as its locationsuggests,this sanctuarywas that of the Hero Strategos,its early historywas
very likely that of worship of the anonymousdead of the place, and only much later did it acquire its imag-
inary hero by associationwith the adjacentStrategeion.
HOROI OF CIVIL ESTABLISHMENTS

The most extensiveAthenian civil "precinct"was, of course,the polis itself, and, althoughno horoi of Attica
have been found,they are alludedto at least once in literarytradition(Plutarch,Aristeides11.3-8). Whether
the Attic demes had official geographic boundaries has long been a matter of controversy,but growing
evidence and arguments favor an affirmativeconclusion.38Although it is not clear that the demes were
customarilydelimited by inscribed horoi, there is mounting evidence that their boundarieswere system-
aticallymarked.City walls, streets,and precinctssuch as the Akropolisand Agoramay have servedto demark
the urban demes, while in the countrysidenatural landmarks,cairns, and roadswould have supplemented
inscribedrupestralhoroi of the sort that have turnedup in fair numbersat locationsthat are logically deme
boundaries.39Apart from these larger political divisions, Athens and Peiraieus have yielded a number of
examples of horoi of public properties which were rather more secular than religious in character:
Mounychia(IG 12,894), the asty (IG 12,893), publicsprings(IG 2,874,875), the Pnyx (IG 2,882), clubsor
meetinghalls (IG 2, 888; II2, 2620), publicanchorages(IG 12,889,890), the mercantileexchange(IG 12, 887
a and b), a path around the Akropolis (IG II2, 2639),40and a defensivemoat outside the Themistoclean
Wall.41Of the seven horos inscriptionsof this sort unearthedin the Agora excavations,one found its way
there from the Peiraieus (see H29 and commentary),and the othersare remnantsof systemsof horoi of the
Agora itself and of the Kerameikos.The boundariesand boundarystones of these two precinctshave had
considerabletreatmentelsewhere42and warrantdiscussionhere only as regardssome continuingquestions.
Of the three related horoi of the Agora which can be dated to about 500 B.C., two (H25, H26) were
found in situ facing east on the west side and near the south end of an ancientroadwhich borderedthe open
square of the Agora on its west flank.43These markershad the objective,which we see in the cases of other
agoras in Attica,44of protectingthe chief civil quarter from encroachmentand defilement,but, as the exca-
vators have noted, Athens particularly needed to specify the limits of its Agora, because by legal atimia
accusedhomicidesand certain convictedcriminals were excluded from it.45 M. H. Hansen makes a good
case that legal atimia, in the sense of deprival of citizen rights as opposed to the broaderand earlier "out-
lawry", was invented in connectionwith the overthrowof Hippias and the birth of radical democracyin
Athens.46The horoi of the Agora are certainlycompatiblewith a Kleisthenicdate, and they have an added
significanceif their placementcan be associatednot only with the renovationof the Agora to accommodate

ical precinct.
With only two horoi in situ, it is difficultto speak with any confidenceabout the official limits of the
Agora, or even its relation to these two markers.The discoveryof H26 nullified the commonview that H25
markedthe southwest cornerof the Agora but allowed the slightly variantopinion that both stones stood at
the southwestentrancesto an Agora consistingof the open squareto the east. As a place of public gatherings,
particularly for the ostrakophoriai,47 this open space was doubtless part of the Agora. If it were the full
extent of the Agora, however, the two horoi in situ would have servedtheir purposesbetter by standingon
the east side of the road and facing outward from the ar.open the
Furthermore, mainly political mean-
ing of "agora"in its early use and the strongly legal and political characterof atimia give considerable
support to those who now tentativelyor definitelyinclude in the Agora the importantcivil and religious es-
tablishments from the Tholos northward on the west side of the road below Kolonos Agoraios.48This
compositeAgora of open square and adjacentbuildings still leaves unansweredthe question of a western
boundary.Some testimonia put the Kolonos itself in the Agora,49but they are late and suspect, at least in
regardto the Archaicand Classical periods.
I will concludediscussion of the horoi of the Agora with anothertentative explanation of the location
and orientation of H25 and H26 in relation to an Agora which included both open square and buildings
along the west side of the north-south road. Whether the two stonesin situ were entrancemarkersor part of
a line of horoi along the road, it is plausible that the road itself was neutral groundand not part of the Agora
surroundingit. This thoroughfarelinking importantjunctions southwestand northwestof the Agora would
then have interruptedthe officialprecinctbut been accessibleto all, even atimoi.The exclusionof roadsfrom
civil and religious precincts and their service as boundariesof such precinctisis evident in other Athenian
horoi (IG I2, 887 a and b, 892-895; II2, 2630). If there were not originally horoi along each side of the
north-south Agora road, a line of horoi on just one side, or at entry points to the road, may have been under-
stoodto delimitthe groundboth east and west.50This may have been the case also with the Kerameikoshoroi
which lined the left side of the road leading from the Dipylon to the Academy,but, as will becomeevidentin
the following paragraphs,the meaning of those markersis also much debated.
The first horos of the Kerameikoscataloguedby Agora archaeologistsis a stele of the early 4th cen-
tury B.C. (H30), discoveredin situ just northwest of the Agora and facing north on the road leading to the
Dipylon. The second,from a moderncontext, is a fragmentof one of a series of verticallyinscribedstelai of
the mid-4th century,of which anotherwas found displacedand three others are in situ outside the Dipylon
on the southwest side of the road leading to the Academy (see H31 and commentary).On the basis of the
position of these last three horoi, A. Bruecknerand some later scholarshave suggestedthat Kerameikoshere
refers to the adjacentroad.51Two other facts have been seen as lending credenceto this theory. First, the
stelai are inscribedopisthographically(nevertheless,the outer two were set up against tombs and thus were
legible only from the roadway).52Second,there is in situ on the north side of the Dipylon a beddingblock

from the right. Since the reverse would also be true, an alternationof the directionof lettering from stone to stone would have fa-
cilitated reading by passersbyin both directionsalong the road.

12 I. HOROI
containingthe stump of a marblestele which approximatesin its horizontaldimensionsthose on the opposite

side of the road.53Against the interpretationof the b'potKepaplcEKOv as markersof the road are two argu-
ments ex silentio, but cogent. First, all verifiablehoroi of roads use the word WT. Second,and more com-
pelling, is the fact that many ancient sources refer to the Kerameikosas a district but none uses the name
unequivocallyof a road. The width of this thoroughfarebeyondthe Dipylon looks less like that of a normal
road than of a ceremonialdromoswhich might have been used for funeralsand festivalevents.54 Still, this is
not strong evidencethat this via lata, as Livy (31.24) called the road beyondthe Dipylon, is what the horoi
mean by the Kerameikos.
Some ancient commentators55speak of a deme Kerameikos,and a few modern scholarshave assumed
that the Kerameikoshoroi refer to such a deme.56Although the Kerameikosmay have been popularly con-
fused with the deme Kerameis,most scholarsnow agree on good evidencethat only the latter was a deme.57
The Kerameikosor "Potters'Quarter"existed long before the Kleisthenicreforms,and the name of Kera-
meis, like that of many other demes,would have been derivedfromits locale.58From the extant evidenceone
cannot determinewhether the deme was coextensivewith the district, lay within it, or overlappedit. The
quality of the horoi, their prominentlocation,and the mentionof the Kerameikosin at least one decreesug-
gest an officialregion59ratherthan simply a popularlynamedquarterof the city, but here again there is no
certainty.
The Kerameikoshoroi offer no clues as to how far the Kerameikosdistrictextendedlaterally from the
road. Southward,the so-calledStreet of the Tombs near the SacredWay was probablypart of the cemetery
with which the Kerameikoswas often equated,and the area of Skironon the Eleusis road,with its prostitu-
tion and gambling, may have contributedto the Kerameikos'reputation for porneia.60 If the quarter ex-
tended also north of the Dipylon road, a logical limit might have been the road to KolonosHippios, which
exited the ThemistocleanWall at the Eriai Gate. The extent of the Kerameikosalong the horos-linedroadis
a slightly more profitablequest. The boundarystone inside the Dipylon (H30) shows that the districtover-
lapped the Themistoclean Wall and explains the ancient referencesto "two Kerameikoi",which modern
writers sometimescall Inner and Outer Kerameikos.Some sources,especiallyof late antiquity, includethe
Agora in the Kerameikos,but Thucydides implies that its easterly extent was short of the Agora when he
says (6.57.1-3) that Hippias was "outside in what is called the Kerameikos"and that the tyrannicides
"rushedat once within the gates, and meeting Hipparchos by the so-called Leokorion,61they immediately
fell upon him."Presumablythe Archaiccity wall and its gate were closerto the Agorathan to the later Dipy-
lon. This wall probablydefinedthe inner limits of the ArchaicKerameikos,and, with its demise,the name
became less precise and was eventually extended to include the Agora. Outward from the Dipylon, the
Kerameikosmost likely extendedalong the one and a half kilometersto the Academy.62Archaeologistshave

HOROI OF ROADS 13
had only sporadicglimpses of the northwesterlyroad beyondthe excavationsof the GermanArchaeological

Institute aroundthe Dipylon, and no furtherhoroi have been foundin situ. Nevertheless,one of the stonesin
this series was discoveredin 1955 lying loose beneathAlexandriaStreet,about 200 metersfromthe entrance
to the Academy(see commentaryon H31). It is likely that this was one of the outermostof a line of roadside
horoi markingthe extent of the Kerameikosfrom the Dipylon to the Academy.
HOROI OF ROADS
Excavations in the Athenian Agora have yielded four of the twenty or so extant road horoi from Athens,
Peiraieus, and Eleusis. As all but two of the total have been displaced from their original locations, it is
impossibleto estimatewith any confidencethe volume and distributionof this type. It is probable,however,
that the Agora and its environs, as the hub of many importantroads, had a considerablenumber of these
markersduring the Classical and Hellenistic periods. The texts of road horoi fall roughly into two groups,
those with the words b'po 6obovalone in one order or the other, and those which identifythe road by name,
destination,particularuse, or referenceto the propertywhich it bounded.
The usually fine craftsmanshipof road horoi and the fact that roadswere chiefly public propertymake
it likely that most of these markers were erected by the state. The ten Astynomoi, as overseersof public
boundaries in Athens and Peiraieus, had among their duties the protectionof streets from obstructionby
buildings, balconies, open drains, doors, and windows (Ath. Pol. 50.2). To these ends, boundary stones,
including the simple b'posobo8v(H32, H35),63 would have markedthe legitimate expanse of roads at busy
and vulnerable points. Like other horoi at the sides of roads they would also have served to deter the en-
croachmentof roads upon public precincts,a problemalreadynoted in the cases of small shrines in areas of
heavy traffic.64This dual role of demarking roads and adjacent property is evident in the texts of several 5th-
centurymarkersfrom the Peiraieus which have been associatedwith the planning of that region by Hippo-
damos of Miletos.65The double duty indicatedby the texts of two companionstelai (IG I2, 887 a and b:
/jTroplo KaLhobo hdpos)is provedby the discoveryof the first of them in situ just southeastof the Kantharos
harborbeside a road borderingthe merchants'exchange.66Althoughwe have no boundarystonesof the city-
demes, streets and roads may have served as their borders,67as we know they did for other divisions and
propertiesof the city. The Peiraieus district again providesexamples in the form of scattered5th-century
horoi with texts indicating that they stood at the edges of roads and delimited,respectively,the naval har-
bor,68the asty,69Mounychia,70and one unidentifiableprecinct.71Among the elaboratehoroi of roads are
those which not only servedas boundarystonesbut also had an informativefunctionlike that of modernroad
signs. Three extant stelai with the message "Horosof the road to Eleusis"72exemplify the special attention
given to highways which were importantfor their traffic,destination,and use as processionalroutes. Wide

14 I. HOROI
roads, particularly those used for festival parades, were sometimes called obo\ wrAareaior simply 7rAa-
rTeZa.73A late Athenian horos (IG II2, 2628: 8p[os] 87r[,uoarias]wrAa[reras]), if correctlyrestored,marked
such an avenue. A decreeof 320/19 (IG II2, 380) chargesthe Agoranomoiof the Peiraieus,who at the time
had taken overthe responsibilityof the Astynomoifor boundariesand streets,74 with care of the broadstreets
used for the ritual processionsof Zeus Soter and Dionysos. Of the two "roadsigns"found loose in the Agora
excavations,the "Horosof the Ancestral Road"(H33) suggests a route of long-standingimportance,but it
cannotbe assignedto any road known from literatureor archaeology.The even more solemn "Horosof the
SacredRoad by which the Pythaisjourneysto Delphi" (H34) was foundnear the PanathenaicWay and may
have markedthat thoroughfareas the first stage of the theoriaof the Pythais from the Pythionon the north-
west slope of the Akropolisto the correspondingsanctuaryat Delphi.
Anotherkind of roadsign, of which we have little extant archaeologicalevidence,is that which informed
the public of the distancesbetween points. For example, the 4th-centuryrock-cuthoros markingthe upper
path aroundthe Akropolisalso notes the length of the circuit(IG II2, 2639: [r]ov 7TEpr1aro7rEpioIoS7r(vr)
or(riaba) wo,ev Anill). Similarly, a verse inscription (IG II2, 2640), not strictly a horos, tells us that the
distancefrom the harborto the Altar of the Twelve Gods is 45 stades. This altar in the Agora Square was,
accordingto Herodotos(2.7.1-2), the centralmilestonefrom which the Atheniansreckoneddistancesin the
city, the country,and beyond.
TRITTYS MARKERS
Since the 1860's, excavations and chance finds in Athens and Piraeus have yielded 15 trittys markers,75
which are divisibleinto two categorieson the basis of their textual formulas.The "complex"or Aevpe type,
which I shall discuss first, is representedby five inscriptionsfrom the Agora excavations(H36, H38, H39,
H41, H42), one from the Akropolis, and five from Peiraieus.76Although these stones show evidence of a
variety of letter cutters, the letter forms, especially Land 5 when they occur, date all of them to about the
middle of the 5th century. Each of the texts began with the word 86Epe("here")to mark a dividing point
where, as it goes on to say, either a tribe and one of its trittyesend and anothertribe and trittysbegin, or one
trittys ends and anotherof the same tribe begins.77
Early in the study of the AeSpe inscriptionstheir formulasand limited proveniencemade it apparent
that they were not boundarystones of the trittyesbut markersof public stations where citizens were segre-
gated accordingto tribe and trittys. If the ancient arrangementwas linear, with the first stone markingthe
divisionof the first and secondtrittyesof the first tribe and the last stone markingthe divisionof the second
and third trittyes of the last tribe, then there was a total of 29 stones, 9 of the tribe/trittys type and each of
these followed and precededby 2 of the trittystype. In a circulararrangementthe total would be 30. A third
possibilityneither indicatednor precludedby the evidenceis a linear series of 31 stonesin which an opening
stone markedthe beginningof the firsttribe and its firsttrittys,and a closingstone markedthe end of the last
tribe and its third trittys. The orderof the tribes as far as it can be reconstructedin this system differs from
the tribal cycle that is "regular"from the early 4th centuryon, but since it is approximatedin severalother
sources, it was possibly an earlier canonicalorder.78The extant texts also indicate that the tribal stations

Ypos does not appear on these stones,nor do scholarsclassify them as horoi in the commonsense of the word. Never-

the traditionof the Corpusand treat them togetherwith the horoi.

TRITTYS MARKERS 15
were, with the exceptionof that of Hippothontis,subdividedin an officialsequenceof city, inland, and coast-
al trittyes.79
Not long after the Peiraieus texts came to light, scholars made the connectionbetween them and the
testimonyof Demosthenes (14.23) that Athenian seamen were marshaledby tribe and trittys near the ship-
sheds in the naval harbor of Zea.80 After five more Advpe inscriptions were unearthed in the Agora exca-
vations, Raubitschek, while accepting the theory of their use at the military parade stations, adduced further
literary evidence to show that the markers served also at gateways where magistrates could check citizens by
tribe and trittys as they entered enclosed areas to receive allotments of grain (in the Agora and market area of
Peiraieus) or to cast ballots in the ostrakophoriai(in the Agora).81Thus far, the evidenceof the texts and
their provenienceleaves open the possibilitythat there werejust two systemsof trittysmarkers,one for each
of the chief open areas of the upper city and the port.82The limited chronologyof the stones is harder to
explain. The cessationof ostracismmay have contributedto their demise,but their other functionsmust have
continued.One may speculateeither that the original sets of markerslastedfor a long time, or that they were
eventually replacedby others of less durable material such as wood. In either case, the use of such markers
would not likely have survived the addition to the constitution of the tribes of Antigonis and Demetrias in
307/6 B.C., at which the trittyes lost most of their political significance.83
Of the trittys markersthat may be called the "simple"type, only four (H37, H40; IG I2, 883, 884) have
thus far come to light. Each is inscribed, apparently by a different letter cutter, with the name of the collec-
tive members of a trittys in the genitive case followed by the word rpLrrVS, or vice versa. This textual brevity
and the mixing of old Attic and newer Ionic forms discourage close dating by letter forms, but the three-
barred sigmas of H37 and IG I2, 884 put them near the mid-5th century, while the lettering of the other two
is datable from mid-centuryto as much as three decadeslater.84Thus, they are somewhat lacking in uni-
formity, but their being parts of a single system is not precluded.
When the first two simple trittys markerswere found, their provenienceindicatedthat they might be
marshaling stones for the assembly on the Pnyx,85 but, as they were of the city trittyes Kerameis and Lakia-
dai, they were also interpretedas boundarystones of the actual political districts.86The Agora excavations
subsequentlyproducedthe marker for another city trittys, Skambonidai(H37), but also one for Sphettos
(H40), the inland trittys of Akamantis. The latter stone, therefore,either found its way to the city center
from the Mesogeia, or it is not a boundary stone. If the trittyes customarily had boundary stones, the
discoveryof only four singletons in Athens, and even fewer and less certain candidatesbeyond the city,87
would be surprising. The hypothesis that the simple trittys stones are from the Pnyx has recently been

16 I. HOROI
closely re-examined by Siewert,88who concludesthat they were used as markers,either of sections of the
auditorium where citizens were seated by trittys or of gateways outside where officials, such as the o-vA-
XoyetL rov bgt/Aovattestedin later sources,89could verify the credentialsof citizens before they enteredthe
assemblyplace. Two 5th-centuryallusions to the Ekklesia90imply that seating was a matterof choice, and
even in cheirotoniathe countingof votes by seating sectionsdoes not necessarilyimply division by trittys.9'
Nevertheless, Xenophon's account of the Demos voting by tribe at the trial of the strategoi of Arginousai
(Hellenica 1.7.9) implies tribal seating in which subdivisionsby trittys would have been plausible. Three
stele beddingswere found in the excavationof the auditoriumof Period I of the Pnyx (latter half of the 5th
century),92and Siewert makes a good case for their compatibilitywith the simple trittys stones.93
These simple markers then, like their complex counterpartsin the Agora and Peiraieus, designated
places where citizens mustered by trittys, in this case for meetings of the Demos. Whether they were in-
stalled inside or outside the auditoriumof the Pnyx, it is evident from their dates that they were in use at
least during Period I. Beyond that we can only speculatethat they may have been saved at the time of the
radical reconstructionof the auditoriumabout 400 B.C. and re-used in the following century. In any case,
they, like the ALvpe inscriptions,would not have survivedthe reorganizationof the constitutionin 307/6.
HOROI OF GRAVE SITES

Althoughburials ceasedin the immediatearea of the AthenianAgora at the end of the 7th century,and from
the late Archaic period they were largely restrictedto ground outside the city walls,9420 funerary horoi
(H53-H72)95 have been found scatteredthroughoutthe site. Their largely "homemade"letteringand ma-
sonry allow only rough datingswithin the 5th to 3rd centuries.As the following list illustrates,the funerary
horoi vary considerablyin their basic formulas(all these variationsappearin some instanceswith the proper
name in the genitive,but the additionof a patronymicor demoticis rare;e.g. IGII2, 2556, 2558):

Although these terms differ etymologically and connotatively,their meanings in the texts of horoi are

centurythe extensionof this term to the entire burial plot is evidentfromtexts which definethe vvfipaby its

HOROIOF GRAVESITES 17
as these featuresalso were evocativeof memoriesof the dead, and as this term too was used on multiple horoi
arounda single plot (e.g., H68, H69), its meaning in this contextwas not significantlydifferentfromthat of
AMvi/ja.The famedpublic burial site of heroicAthenianwar deadwas calledeither rO il/7LUO8Lov -rijMa(Thu-
cydides, 2.34.5, 8) or simply robuvl7,/a (Lysias, Epitaphios 2.63; Plato, Menexenos 242C).96 Horos texts
likewise extend the term 0 'KT?,technically a receptacleor urn, to signify the grave site or, in the plural, a
group of related graves. Finally, the simple inscriptionb'poSxwoplov, which in itself could mark land of any
kind, clearly becamea funeraryhoros by locationat a grave site (e.g. IG II2, 2593). And yet Xwoplov, with its
basic meaning of "ground",is not redundantin the formula 'povxoplov /ylv/aro (IG II2, 2560).
The archaeologistsometimesfaces another ambiguityin horoi with the formula 'pos TOV bO eivos or the
proper name alone in the genitive case. Without contextual evidence, such an inscription is as plausibly
the markerof any real propertyas that of a grave site, and, if the name is that of a god or hero, it would refer
to a shrine. For a case in point, the meaning of hopos heAi'K71(H72) was disputeduntil it was determined
that Fauvel had found the stone while excavatinga cemeterybeyondthe AcharnaiGate and that thereforeit
was the funeraryhoros of a mortal woman, Helike.97Conversely,two rupestralinscriptionsclassifiedin the
Corpus (IG II2, 13246, 13247) as tituli memorialeshave recently been identifiedfrom the evidenceof im-
provedreadings ('AVTLoX?)S and opos AaobIKnts) and their topographyas private-propertyhoroi in which a
term such as XWoplovis to be understood.98
The great majorityof extant horoi of burial sites are singletons. Since proper protectionof a site pre-
supposesthe markingof its full dimensions,we may assumethat these stones are either partsof lost multiple
sets or single markersof sites otherwise defined, for example by walls or platforms.99As mentionedabove,
the use of multiple horoi around burial plots is evident in the Agora inventoryof three stones (H54-H56)
that are clearly a set and of two of the three extant horoi of Onesimos (H68, H69). Atheniansalso delimited
burial sites by means of horoi inscribedwith the dimensionsof two adjacentsides (e.g., H66, H67).100The
areas known from these sorts of inscriptionsvary from 9 by 10 feet (H67) to 30 by 25 feet (IG II2, 2563). In
orderto indicateexact location,such stoneswould have to be employedin threes at plots on open groundand
in pairs at plots beside roads;the latter case is exemplifiedby two identicalhoroi discoveredin situ adjacent
to ancient Peiraieus Street in the Kerameikos.101
Although funeraryhoroi are usually distinguishedfrom regulargravestonesby the delimitingor mark-
ing function implied in the term o'pos,the two types of inscriptionswere probablyused interchangeablyto
some extent. Gravestoneswere intended primarily to memorializethe deceasedby naming them, by dis-
playing sculpture of a decorative,and sometimesbiographical,nature, and by locating, but not necessarily
delimiting, the tomb. It follows that plots boundedby horoi, especially those without proper names, must
ordinarilyhave had gravestonesalso. It is also possible, althoughnot demonstrable,that horoi in some cases
served in lieu of any registry of cemeterypropertiesas temporarymarkersbefore all the burials took place
and the site was elaboratedwith regularmonuments;the relativelypoor quality of the stone, stonework,and
lettering of funeraryhoroi may in part reflectsuch interim use. Yet horoi with propernames, such as those
of Onesimos,couldwell have serveddoubleduty as boundarystonesand memorials.102 Like all horoi,those of
grave sites implied sanctions against intruders by virtue of their sacral and legal character,but at least one

of them, like many gravestones,has an explicit prohibitionin its text (IG II2, 2567). Thus, the importance
of these markers,which is reflectedin their relative abundanceamong all horoi, lay in the protectionof the
gravesite as a significantpart of the ritual of honoringthe dead.
SECURITY HOROI
In the inventoryof inscriptionsfrom the Agora, as in that from all Attica, security notices constitutethe
largest class of horoi.103As private documents,few, if any, of these stones would have stood in the ancient
Agora.With the exceptionof a single text (H89) in situ on an ancienthouse wall south of the Agora Square,
all these horoi were displaced and scatteredover this area through the ages. Called "horoi"probably by
analogy to other property markers, these inscriptionsgave notice of the encumbranceof real property as
security for debt, thereby protectingthe interest of the creditorby warning off other lenders. Since many
security horoi were singletons, they could not usually have delimitedproperty,104 and even in multiples105
they need not have servedthis secondaryfunction.
Although the use of real securitywas general among Greek peoples, inscribedsecurityhoroi seem to be
peculiarto Attica and the islands of Amorgos,Lemnos,Naxos, Skyros,and Syros.The presenceof Athenian
demoticnames on Lemnian horoi suggeststhat their use was exportedto the Aegean by cleruchfamilies, yet
Amorgos,which had no Athenian colony, had a substantial number of stones.106A decree of the deme of
Myrrhinous (IG II2, 1183) orderingthe placementof horoi on propertyit had acceptedas securityfor loans
indicatesthat the markerswere not a generalrequirementof law. They might be citedin courtasprimafacie
evidenceof debt,107but their limited textual informationand vulnerability108rule them out as official con-
tracts. The need for official documentationwas undoubtedlyservedby such written agreementsas are re-
ferredto on at least 16 of the securitystones.109

SECURITY HOROI 19
managers who put up real security in the value of the estate and probably its rent and interest. By full term,
usually when the oldest child reached maturity, the lessees returned the estate plus agreed earnings or for-
feited their a7rorL'/A,ua.The EponymousArchon,who was responsiblefor the welfare of orphans(Ath. Pol.
56.7; Isaios, 6), probably oversaw the evaluation and leasing of their estates. The orphans, as beneficiaries of
the security,are identifiedon the horoi, usually by the term ird, rarely by their own names, and always by
their patronymics. The second common use of a7rorl'rMT,a in real security is succinctly described by Harpo-
kration (s.v. 'A7rorLpq7rTai):"The people of that time had the custom, when relatives gave a dowry to a
woman who married, of requiring of the husband some security equal to the value of the dowry, such as
house or land." Thus, on the horoi of a7roTLpjL,ua7pOLKOv (H78-H83),l1 the security referred to is always
real estate, but most of the dowries, as large as they are, were probably money and other movable goods.115
The term of dotal contractswould naturallybe indefinite,with forfeitureof the dowry or its securityusually
occurring only with divorce or the death of a wife without issue. Unlike the orphan in the notice of Alor6woorLs
oucov, the bride is usually named on the dotal horos.
Although no extant literary source mentions 7rpao1s9f7r' Avro-eby name,116this mode of contractual
creditemployedmore horoi (H84-H113, H124?)117than any other. As the name of the procedureindicates,
the debtor sold real security to his creditor while retaining the right of redeeming the property upon ful-
fillment of the contractat an agreed or indeterminatetime.118The typical horos in these cases says nothing
about the debtor or the nature of his debt but always mentions the kind of property offered as security, often
listing the amount of debt and usually naming the creditor. When the horos text lacks the words 7r' AVErL
(H91, H108; IG II2, 2763, 2764; XII 8, 22), it is probablyan abbreviatednoticeof the creditcontractrather
than one of a simple sale.
Security horoi rarely indicate who held the securing property during the life of the contract, but their
protective purpose and naming of creditors make little sense unless the debtor retained possession."19Thus,
7rpaSOl in these cases denotes"sale"without changeof possession.As for cases of airo,trjAqua,there would be
little incentiveto lease an estate or accept a dowry if the prospectivelessee or bridegroomhad to hand over
real estate of equal or greater value. An exception to this rule of possession is evident in the texts of horoi for
a type of hypothecwhich some scholarscall antichresis(H115).120The partiesto these contractsapparently
agreed that the creditor, instead of taking interest or rent, would possess the real security of his debtor and its
usufruct. This possession, like the ownership in 7rpatL TrA XVcrEL,was provisory as long as the debtor met
the terms of the contract. In antichresis, the horoi would still have been intended to discourage further
financial risk of the property, but for the protection of the debtor rather than the creditor.
Since the location of security horoi, and any pertinent written agreements, would have identified clearly
the nature, use, and location of the real securities,most horos inscriptionsrefer to these propertiesonly in
such general terms as ywpiov (land), olbda (building), and epyao-Tr7poLO (businessestablishment);121 a small
minorityof the texts are more specificabout the main propertyor mentionattachedpropertiesto emphasize
that they are part of the security: tavern with garden (H106); furnace or kiln (IG 112, 2750); stone quarry
(IG II2, 2752); privy (H10; IG II2, 2742; cf. ibid., 2496, line 9); slavesattachedto businesses(H125; IG II2,

H119-H121 and IG II2, 2666 and 2670 are possibly horoi of real property used as dowry but probably abbreviateddotal

The brief and frequent hypothecationsof a building which Meritt saw in H78 and H84 (q.v.) were probablynot the norm.

20 I. HOROI
2747-2749, 2751); sources of water (IGII2, 2657, 2759). Although the Athenians also used movable prop-
erty as credit security(evexvpov), they apparentlydid not give notice of such transactionson horoi as the
islanderssometimesdid.122Becauseof the scatteringof most securityhoroi from their original locations,and
because of the varying extent of recovery from place to place, we cannot with any confidence correlate the
types of property used as real security with the various regions of Athens and Attica.
The amountsof debt notedon horoi, rangingfrom 150 drachmasin a 7rpace7 AvoErcL (IGI12,2704) to
8000 drachmas in a dotal a7ror'lrilua (IG II2, 2659),123 clearly reflect the upper economic stratum of Athe-
nian society. The figures do not, however, allow us to determinethe values of propertydesignatedas se-
curity.124 Ina7roHLjA77ja as well as other contracts of credit, the value of the encumbered property must
usually have exceeded the amount of debt, at least to create incentive for credit or to cover rent and interest.
Disposal of the excess of security may in some cases have been negotiated as part of the contract125and
accomplished in the form of money or other movables, but, in view of the basically substitutional character of
Athenian security, the creditor must as a rule havehadhad
te the right of the real security in its entirety.126
Some horoi prove exceptions to the general rule of single creditors, especially in TpaoTes emAvG-EL (e.g.,
H95, H98),127 but it is often not clear whether the multiple buyers of the same security were acting jinntly or
severally. In the cases of multiple contracts noted on the same stone,t is sometimes difficult to tell whether
they were concurrent or consecutive, and whether they concerned the same property or werecoincidental
uses of the same stone.128 Joint lending was clearly the case with the epavLral (H84 9,H89, H94),29 so
called because they granted c'pavot, that is, interest-free loans.130 Other horoi show that Athenian political
and social institutions used the same modes of credit and real security as those of private citizens. The Athe-
nian Demos itself, since it demanded personal guarantors ( 1yyvn7rad)from its debtors and had a priori the
right of confiscation, had no need of real security, but among the creditors noted in horos inscriptions are
demes (H92, H99), tribes (IGII2, 2670), clans (ibid.), and phratries (IGII2, 2723).
As difficult to date as the horoi are, there is general agreementtthat their lettering, orthography, and
occasional naming of archons13' point to a range from the early 4th to the early 2nd century B.C.132 The
earlier terminus is reflected approximately in the orators, where the first references to hypothecation of real
property occur in the late 5th century.133The absence of security horoi in the 5th century and earlier cannot
be mere coincidence, nor is it very likely that the Athenians used only markers of perishable material in a
period when stone was so common for other kinds of horoi. Real security implies alienability of family

summaryof the 23 horoi that bear archons'names see Millett (footnote103 above, p. 18), pp. 221-222; the earliest and
latest are, respectively,Charikleides(363/2 B.C.:IG II2, 2654) and Pleistainos(184/3 B.C.;see footnote132 below); additionally,an
unpublishedhoros dated by an archon'sname has been seen on Lemnos (R. S. Stroud, "Inscriptionsfrom the North Slope of the
Acropolis,I," Hesperia 40, 1971 [pp. 146-204], p. 170, note 24).
132 On the basis of letter
forms,includinglunate sigma, and the tentativerestorationof Chariasas the archon'sname in H116, Fine
(pp. 26-27, 48-50) put the lower terminus in the mid-2nd century. Finley (p. 7) noted rightly at the time that there was only in-
disputabledocumentationto about 250 B.C.Subsequentdiscoveriesof other dated horoi and correctionsof archons'years have low-

estates, and, although most scholars have dated alienability as early as the time of Solon,134 Fine makes an
attractive, albeit circumstantial,case135that the early evidence from literature and the horoi marks the
beginning not only of the use of real security but also of the alienability which made its use possible. He
would associate this evolution with the widespreaddebt, dispossession,and confiscationof land during the
Peloponnesian War. The apparent cessation of security horoi in the early 2nd century is also problematic in
that the use of real security for debt clearly continuedthereafter.Here the evidenceallows little more than
conclusionsex silentio, but most probablythe horoi became obsolete after the creationof anothermeans of
notice of encumbrance,136 perhaps a public registry.137

7. SECURITY HOROI (H73-H130)
The general use of crude lettering and diverse letter forms on security horoi makes even the approximate
dating of these inscriptionsvery difficultunless they contain other clues such as informativeproper names.
In this catalogue I follow the conservativepolicy of most earlier editors and only assign dates which are
clearly establishedby the naming of an archonin the text. For cases in which there is less certainor ambigu-
ous evidencefor dating, the readerwill find note of this in the following commentariesor in those of previous
editors.
Here I have classifiedthe horoi by traditionalnomenclatureand specifictype when the extant text, or the
text in combinationwith convincingrestoration,so dictates.If there is any ambiguityabout the exact type of
transactioninvolvedin the text, the inscriptionhas been relegatedto the category"uncertaintype".
38 I. HOROI
The lettering,the material,and the dressedsurfacesof these horoiare often of such poor quality, and their
texts are often so damagedby erasuresand ill use, that there are many disagreementsamong editorsabout
particularletter traces and the restorationsthey suggest. The present editor, after autopsy of the inscribed

II. POLETAI RECORDS
PREFACE
Inscribed records of the Athenian poletai were set up in or near the Agora in antiquity, and numerous
fragmentsof them have been found in excavationsthere, especiallythose conductedby the AmericanSchool
of Classical Studies from 1931 to the present. The purpose of this study is to bring togetherin one place all
such inscriptionsso far found. The form of presentationis that establishedby B. D. Meritt and J. S. Traill
for the recordsof the Athenian councillorsand published as The Athenian Agora, XV, Inscriptions:The
Athenian Councillors,Princeton 1974. All poletai inscriptionshoused in the Agora Museum and the Epi-
graphicalMuseum have been examined,and the emphasishas been on the establishmentof as correcta text
as possiblein each case. Since most of the inscriptionshave been publishedpreviously,commentaryhas been
kept to a minimum. The same principle applies to illustrations. Photographsare given only of those in-
scriptionswhich have new piecesjoining them or which have not been previouslypublished(P18, P27, P43,
and P51) and of a few unpublishedfragmentsof uncertainclassificationwhich are relegatedto an appendix.
The inscriptionsare arrangedin approximatechronologicalorder.Becauseof their fragmentarystate it
is not often possibleto suggesta date closerthan a particularquarteror even half century.Dates suggestedby
previouseditorshave generallybeen found convincingand are adoptedhere.
Note should be made of one literary and two epigraphical conventionsused throughout this study.
Aristotleis referredto as the authorof the AthenaionPoliteiawithout prejudiceto the questionas to whether
or not that work is actually by his hand. Ancient writers habitually applied his name to the work, and so
the same is done here. The terms "Hymettian"and "Pentelic"are appliedto the kinds of marblefromwhich
the stelai were fashioned.These terms are here descriptiveratherthan scientific.By Hymettianis meantthe
fine-grainedbluish gray marble most characteristicof Mt. Hymettos and by Pentelic the medium-grained
white marble commonlyfound on Mt. Pentelikon.The layout of the texts is describedas stoichedonor non-
stoichedonfollowing the principles set forth by M. J. Osborne,ZPE 10, 1973, pp. 249-270. Stoichedonis
used for texts whose letters exhibit a generally regular vertical and horizontal alignment even though no
guidelines are visible.
For entrustingto me the restudy of these inscriptionsI wish to thank Homer A. Thompson and Ben-
jamin D. Meritt. Both men greatly contributedto my work with aid, advice,and guidancewheneverit was
requested. Both read the whole manuscript and made numerous improvements.I wish also to thank
T. Leslie Shear, Jr., Field Directorof the Agora Excavations,for generouslypermittingme to includethose
fragmentsof poletai inscriptionsfound during excavationsof the Agora in the early Seventies.L. J. Bliquez,
R. S. Stroud,J. S. Traill, and M. B. Walbankall read part of an initial draftand madevaluablesuggestions.
J. McK. Camp II, D. J. Geagan, and J. S. Traill helpedwith epigraphicalreadings.To all these individuals
I owe a debt of gratitude and an obligation to acknowledgethose errors and shortcomingsthat remain as
solely mine.

Finally, I should like to pay tribute to the late Margaret Crosby and to Benjamin D. Meritt. These

Aristotle, Ath. Pol. 47.2-3
Oxford Classical Text
Then there are the ten poletai, one appointed by lot from each phyle. They let out all public contracts, and
along with the treasurer of the stratiotic fund and those elected to manage the theoric fund they lease the
mines and taxes in the presence
and of the Boule;the an to whomever Boule should choose by vote, they ratify
the leased mines, both those that are in woring condition, which are leased for three years, and those that
have been conceded, which are leased for [ten] years. And in the presence of the Boule they sell the property of
those men exiled by the Areopagus and of other exiles, and the nine archons ratify the sales. And they record
on whitened tablets the taxes leased for the currentyear, and the purchaserand for how much he bought it,
and they hand these tablets over to the Boule. They recordseparatelyon ten tablets those who have to pay
installments every prytany and those who have to pay three times a year, making a separate list for each
installment, and those who have to pay in the ninth prytany. They also recordthe lands and houses con-
fiscatedand sold by judgmentof the lawcourt.For they sell these too. The price of houses must be paid within
five years, the price of the land within ten years. They pay these installmentsin the ninth prytany.
The financialaffairsof ancientAthens were managedby a numberof boardsof magistrateswho worked

with the Boule. One such board was the poletai, whose inscribed transactions are collected in this study. Our
main source for the poletai is the passage from Aristotle quoted above which informs us that it was their duty
to farm out public contracts, to lease the state-owned silver mines in southern Attica and the privileges of
collecting taxes, and to sell the confiscated property of persons exiled by the Areopagus. They were ten men
chosenby lot,I one from each phyle. One of them servedas chairman(prytanis),2 and to assist them they had
a secretaryand a herald. The secretarywas apparentlynot one of the ten membersof the board, for in P5,
which containsthe only list of annual poletai completelypreserved,the secretary(lines 5-6) belongs to the

same phyle as one of eight poletai named (line 4, Glaukon).3 Furthermore, Antiphon (6.49 [On the Choreu-
tes]) speaks of a vroypa1Aquarevs of the poletai (probably the same official as the ypatI4'arevs of the in-
scription),and there it is clear that he is an assistantto the poletaiand not one of their number.The heraldis
not mentionedin the ancientliteraturebut ratheris inferredfromthe designationof herald'sfees (KqpvxcLa)
in four inscriptions:P3, lines 4-5; P5, line 37; P45, line 3; P53, line 46. He may have been one of the poletai
themselves or, like the secretary, an adjunct official. Besides making announcements of up-coming sales, he
probablyalso servedas the auctioneerat those sales. Sales by the poletai took the form of an auction,and a
skilled auctioneerwas essential to insure that the sales were as profitableto the state as possible. "Auc-
tioneer" is an amply attested meaning of K7jpvf, and that the Kicpvfof the poletai received fees indicates that
his work involved something more than just broadcasting future sales.
In Aristotle's time the poletai worked with the treasurer of the stratiotic funds and the theoric board and
were closely supervised by the Boule. Such careful supervision was necessary in the case of financial officials
who handled public funds. Antiphon (6.49 [On the Choreutes])recordsone incident of embezzlementin
418 B.C.,when the poletai, the poristai,and the praktoreswere impeachedon that charge.4Althoughthis is
the only known instanceof malfeasanceby the poletai, the temptationwould always have been present.For
this reason close scrutinyof the college was maintainedby the Boule and other officials.Furthermore,since
the treasurer of the stratiotic funds and the members of the theoric board could be re-elected, they had valua-
ble financial experience with which to assist the poletai, who served only an annual term of office.5 For the
period before the Kleisthenic constitution we have no information about the poletai except the statement of
Aristotle (Ath. Pol. 7.3) that they existed in the time of Solon. Our discussion of their activities will therefore
center on the 5th and 4th centuries, for which the evidence is fairly abundant.
CONFISCATED PROPERTY
The most importantduty of the poletai was the sale of confiscatedproperty.P1-P5, P14, P17, P20, P24,
P26, P31, possibly P36, P42, P43, P45, P47-P49, and P52-P56 contain recordsof such sales.6The sales,
made at auction to the highest bidder, were of the personal and real property of persons convicted of crimes
for which exile or execution was the penalty. These persons included public debtors,7 intentional homicides,8
and others.9 The number of sales varied from year to year. In the complete record of 367/6 (P5) there was
only one, while in an incomplete document of ca. 340 (P26) at least six are recorded. Sometimes there were
also extraordinary confiscations which had to be dealt with. From Lysias (30.22 [Against Nikomachos]) we
learn that when state cofferswere running low the Boule was not averseto admittinga greaternumberof

CONFISCATED PROPERTY 59
court cases involving confiscationsin order to increase state revenues.10P4 gives us a tantalizing bit of epi-
graphicalevidenceconcerningpropertieson Lemnoswhich are being confiscated.PI recordsthe famoussale
of properties of those found guilty of profaning the Eleusinian Mysteries and mutilating the Herms in
415 B.C., and P2 containssimilar recordsof those involvedin the tyrannyat the end of the 5th century,both
affairs involvingsome fifty persons each.
Confiscationsof people'sland and houses were boundto lead to complicationswhich requiredthe atten-
tion of the poletai. Concerningcompensation,for example, what did the state make over to an exile who was
pardonedand who returnedto Athens after his estate had been confiscatedand sold, or to a debtorwho satis-
fied his debts? The answers to these questions are clear. In the most famous case of confiscationand sub-
sequent pardon and return, that of Alkibiades, we see what the state did for a very powerful person with
influential friends. It gave him wealth in return for what it had taken from him when he was condemnedin
absentiain 415.1 The same may have been done for Konon upon his triumphalreturn to Athens in 394.12
But a less importantperson who was pardonedor whose convictionwas overturnedreceivednothing from
the state by way of recompensefor his confiscatedestate.13In the case of public debtorsthe state returnedto
the individual,or to a memberof his family, any proceedsfrom the sale of his propertywhich exceededthe
amount owed the treasury (Demosthenes,40.20 [AgainstBoiotosII]).
A related question to be consideredis what claim a pardonedexile or his family could lodge against the
purchaserof his estate. It is clear that he could take no action.Athenianlaw procted the buyer against this
possibility. Demosthenes (24.54 [Against Timokrates])quotes a law to the effect that no one could bring an
seemade by the state, and Pollux (8.99) goes further in stating that the chairmanof the
action against sales
poletai acted as guarantorfor the board'ssales. Thus no legitimatebasis for a claim was left to the original
owner. Beforethe sale a wife could claim from her husband'sconfiscatedestate an amountequivalentto her
dowry (Etymologicum Magnum, s.v. ev7r LrO,Ku.a Kcaleve7rto7/IJaae7atKal eyyvxis Kara3oAX7v),but once
she and outside creditorshad been satisfied,the poletai made an unconditionalsale.
The laws on compensationand counterclaimsare to be understoodas applying only to sales made of
propertylegally confiscated.An example of what was done about sales resultingfromillegal confiscationson
one occasionis providedby a fragmentof Lysias14which recountswhat happenedafter the overthrowof the
Thirty Tyrants. Buyers of property seized by the Thirty were allowed to retain movableswhich they had
purchased,but they had to return land and houses to the original owners. It may seem surprisingthat the
purchaserswere allowed to keep any goods at all, but this should probably be viewed as an exceptional
decision made in keeping with the wide sweeping policy of appeasementand reconciliationadoptedby the
restoreddemocracy.15
Given the fairly routine nature of the other duties of the poletai, it is easy to see that the keeping of
recordsof all sales of confiscatedproperties,payments and interests, including installmentpayments from
previous sales, and private claims (evE7rLo-K7j,.ara) which had been judged valid occupied a considerable

MINING LEASES
Lists of mining leases or bitaypaofbal (s.v. &Laypa4f in Harpokrationand the Suda) constituteby far the
greatest bulk of the inscribed material belonging to the poletai: P5-P16, P18-P30, P32-P41 (with the
possibleexceptionof P36), P43, P44, P50, and P51. They have alreadyreceiveda great deal of attention,18
and so they need be only briefly noted here. What we learn from the inscribedlease lists is, primarily,who
the lessees were and the names, prices, and locationsof mines. We do not learn the length of the leases or
what the price stated for each list represents.For the formerwe may turn to Aristotle(Ath. Pol. 47.2), who
informs us that they were for three and, probably, seven years. The shorter period was for renewals, the
longerfor new explorations.19There is some doubtregardingthe latter figure becausethe numeralis mostly
obliteratedin the papyrus of the AthenaionPoliteia in the British Museum. Margaret Crosbyargued con-
vincingly for the figure seven,20and although Mortimer Chambersnow confirmsthat the numeral is to be
read as three,2 he acceptsCrosby's as
bs arguments and explains the figure as an errorin transcription.Aristotle
does not, on theother hand, help us to clarifythe meaningof the pricesgiven for the leases. Crosbybelieved
that they representedthe lump-sum paymentsfor the durationof the leases, or possiblyannual payments.22
R. J. Hopper considersit more likely that they are prytanypayments,23and his argumentsappear to me to
be the stronger.
All the inscribedleases date within the 4th century,with a periodof almostseventyyears separatingthe
earliest (P5, 367/6 B.C.) from the latest (P51, ca. 300 B.C.). It has been questionedwhether the poletai had
anything to do with mine leases before this series of inscriptionsbegan.24The doubtsraised could be valid,
but only if the initial appearanceof inscribedleases correspondedto the first actual leases of mines by the
state. I find this difficultto accept. The mines were flourishingin the 5th centurybefore the occupationof
Dekeleia by the Spartans,and private citizens were ccertainlymaking money by renting slaves to the mine
16The poletai would of coursenot have been busied with goods which the state confiscatedbut did not sell. These includeda tithe
from confiscatedestates given to Athena: Xenophon, Hellenika 1.7.10; Andokides, 1.96 (On the Mysteries). In addition,a certain
number of slaves could have been retainedfor civic purposes, some lan added d to
tothe public domain, and any numberof domestic
furnishingsput to public use. Cups and othervessels labeledwith the delta-epsilonligatureor delta-eta,which signify public owner-
ship, were found around the Tholos and in refuse pits near the Stoa of Zeus. Some of the cups are so similar to one another as to
suggeststandardizedproductsof one workshop:see B. A. Sparkesand L. Talcott, The AthenianAgora,XII, Blackand Plain Pottery
of the 6th, 5th, and 4th CenturiesB.C., Princeton1970, p. 93. These could have been made on commissionfor public use ratherthan
representthe state's portion of the crockeryfrom a confiscatedcupboard.On the other hand, miscellaneousvessels, includingtwo
saltcellars,an amphora,a lekane, a one-handler,and others were also found having the public label: see M. Lang, The Athenian
Agora,XXI, Graffitiand Dipinti, Princeton1976, pp. 51-52. These vessels could, I believe, have belongedto privatecitizensbefore
being acquiredby the state as part of confiscatedestates.The same could possiblyhold true for some of the 13 vessels of 5th-century
date with the delta-epsilonligature found in a pit behind the Stoa Basileios:cf. T. L. Shear, Jr., Hesperia 42, 1973, pp. 383-384.

Johnston, ASomeInscribedSauroteresfrom the Akropolis,"AAA 9, 1976, pp. 87-89.
17That the poletai had no legal jurisdiction in matters related to their sales was correctlyobservedby Harrison (The Law of
Athens:Procedure,p. 28).

MINING LEASES 61
workings.25 It is just as likely that private entrepreneurs were leasing mines from the state at this time, too. If
this was so, the poletai would surely have been in charge of the leases.26The reason that we possess no
records from the earlier period could be that the poletai kept only unpublished records then, written up on
wooden tablets. The question must then be asked why mining leases ever began to be published on stone in
the first place. In answering, one point which should be emphasized is that the inscribed lists were matters of
public record.They were set up in the Agora for all to see, and visibility itself could have been the motive
behind the marble stelai. Publication was initiated during an especially busy period of mining activity and
was done for convenience.Potential lessors were providedwith readily availabledata, and the poletai were
saved the trouble of having to consult their unpublished records whenever someone wanted information
about a particular lease.27 Another possible explanation for the inscribed records could be that they served as
the official accounts by which the poletai underwent their evOvva. It is more likely, however, that wooden
tabletswith mining leases were always used for this examinationof accounts.Aristotlementionswoodentab-
lets only in associationwith paymentsof tax purchasers,but this is probablyonly becauseof the moreinvolved
procedurein listing these payments.For mining leasesa simplelist couldbe kepteachyearon a woodentablet,
and this practice need not have received mention from Aristotle.28
If a change in the administrationof the mines occurred,it more likely came with the increasein mining
activityin the 2nd centuryB.C. than with the 4th-centuryrevival.The mines had declinedafter 300 B.C., and
inscribed lease lists disappear. No inscribed lists accompany the renewed activity of the 2nd century, and this
fact suggests that the poletai were no longer connected with the mines. It could be argued that the poletai
simply reverted back to their previous habit of keeping only unpublished records, but it is difficult to under-
stand why they would not have set up public records in the 2nd century as they had done in the 4th unless the
mines were being run in a different fashion. The new issue of Attic silver coinage in the 2nd century indi-
cates that this in fact was the case. The New Style owls have on their reverse a series of letter combinations
which most probably are abbreviations for names of mines in southern Attica.29 That the stae was taking
such care to record the exact sources of the silver used in each issue suggests that the government itself was
now working the mines and using all the recovered ore for coinage. The mines were not being leased to indi-
viduals, and so the poletai had no leases to administer and no records to keep.
Five of the preserved inscriptions contain records of sales of confiscated property as well as leases of
mines (P5, P14, P20, P26, and P43), and and another has been given a restored heading which would place it
in this group (P19). The rest are too fragmentary to allow us to say that sales and leases always shared the
25 In additionto
wealthy citizens such as Nikias, whose sizable earnings from slaves leased to the mine workings is well attested
(Xenophon, Waysand Means 4.14; Plutarch,Nikias 4.2), some men of lessermeanswere also knownto have leasedout slavesin like
manner, e.g. Diokleides (Andokides,1.38 [On the Mysteries]).
26 Crosby (Hesperia 19, 1950, p. 191, note 5) has remarkedthat the language of the sausage seller in Aristophanes'Knights, line
362, suggests a form of administrationfor the mines in the latter 5th centurysimilar to that in the 4th century.
27 Walbank (pp. 166-167 below) believesthat the same reason is likely for publicationon stone of state leases of public lands. For
recordsof sales of confiscatedpropertiesthe reasons for publicationonstone were different.In the first place, such a public record
clearly showedto all that a convictedparty had been punishedby having his possessionsconfiscatedand sold. Secondly,recordingthe
names of buyers and the amounts of their purchaseswas useful to citizens who were keen on pursuing defaultersand to the state
which benefited accordinglyby normally receiving prompt payment from buyers who were loath to default and be publicly de-
nounced.Rhodes (Commentary,p. 555) argues that recordsof sales of confiscatedpropertieswere publishedin orderto protectthe
rights of the buyer. But the wooden tablets made up by the poletai and handedover to the Boule were surely the documentsthat did
this. Unlike Rhodes and others I side with those who regardthe wooden tablets as archivalmaterial,not merelytemporaryrecords.
Briefly on this, and with bibliography, cf. E. Posner, Archivesin the Ancient World,Cambridge,Mass. 1972, pp. 97-102. The
whole question of recordkeeping and publicationby the poletai briefly occupied M. I. Finley in one of his last essays, in Ancient
History:Evidenceand Models, London 1985, pp. 32-33,40-42. Unfortunately,the best surveyof the evidenceis unpublished:G. V.
Lalonde, The Publicationand Transmissionof GreekDiplomaticDocuments,diss. University of Washington 1971, pp. 26-33.
28A suggestion made by A. Rehm ("Zu Aristot. 'AOir.c. 47.48," Philologus 86, 1930-1931 [pp. 118-122], pp. 118-119) for
juxtaposing clauses within Ath. Pol. 47.2 would result in the mention of whitened tablets with mine leases. I choose, however, to
follow Rhodes (Commentary,p. 553) and keep the word orderof the papyrus.
29 These letter combinationsare discussedby Margaret Thompson in "Workshopsor Mines," ANSMN 5, 1952, pp. 35-48, of
which the discussionin her The New Style Silver Coinageof Athens, New York 1971, pp. 613-622, is in essence a summary.The
choice of a high or low chronologyfor the beginning of the New Style coinage does not affect the argumentto which it is being ap-
plied here.
62 II. POLETAIRECORDS
same stele, but it seems likely that this was normallythe case. Occasionally,as with P1 and P2 and proba-
bly P4, one or more stelai were devotedto a single subject,but wheneverpossible the poletai seem to have
included sales and leases all on one stone. The disappointinglymeager group of partially preservedhead-
ings are of no help in substantiatingthis statement, and they might even seem to contradictit. Thus the
headings of P20 and P50 announce only mining leases. But since leases and sales were always grouped
separately, it is quite possible that these two inscriptionsalso containedrecordsof sales listed with their
own headings after the mining leases. P5 providesa good example of this, with mining leases given a sepa-
rate introductorystatementin line 40.
Sometimes the stele is opisthographic(PO10,P20, P24-P26, and P53), but more often, at least with
stelai preservingboth front and original back, only the front face is inscribed:P4-P7, P13, P14, P16, P17,
P19, P30, P34, possibly P39, P40, P45, P47, P49, P51, and P52. Only once is a lateral face used (P43), in
contrastto the 20 other fragmentswhich preservepart of an uninscribedlateral face:P3-P7, P9, P17, P20,
P21, P24, P26, P32, P34, P35, P38, P40, P42, P52, P53, P55. The inscriptionsare too fragmentaryto
allow much to be said concerningthe layout of the text on the stone.P4 and P5 are the only certainexamples
of single-columnedstelai, while P13, P18-P20, P26-P31, and P49 preserve two columns or more. The
latter group belongsmainly to the decade350-340 and revealsthe large numberof leases being grantedfor
mines then. Toward the end of the century,when mine workingswere slackeningoff, the stelai of the poletai
may normallyhave containedjust one columnof text taking up the entirewidth of the stone,but no examples
preservesuch evidence. It is doubtful in any case that in periodswith few mining leases recordsof sales of
confiscatedpropertiesalone would have requiredmuch more than one column in an averageyear.
CONTRACTS AND TAXES

The involvementof the poletai in the letting of contractsand farmingout of taxes is attestedin a numberof
inscriptions,but actual poletai recordsof these mattersseem never to have been inscribedon stone, presum-
ably becausesuch factorsas motivatedthe publicationof sales and leases, as discussedabove,were absent.A
brief review of the epigraphicaldata referringto the poletai will help to illustratetheir other duties.
It is in connectionwith the letting out of public contractsthat the poletai are most frequentlymentioned
in inscriptions.The publicationof state decreesespeciallyinvolvedthe poletai, at least in the 5th century.By
450 a standardpublication formula had been establishedfor public decrees:r6 8l 444&rejta avaypa &aL
'EoTEEL ALOiVEL TOVypa/ilarTa res /3oAes' oLbe87roAeTa a'roj.tLLcrOOavrovTEV TreAcv- oLibe KoAaKperaL
bovTrovrT apyvp&ov.The poletai were to contractwith a mason to fashion a stele of the right shape and
dimensionsand a letter cutter to inscribe the text. The marble itself did not require purchase because the
state owned the Pentelic and Hymettian quarrieswhich furnishedthe stone from which stelai were made.30
IG I3, 23, line 11, of 447/6, is the earliest preservedexample of the poletai in the publicationformula,
although the probable restorationin IG I3, 7, line 6 and the almost certain restorationin IG 13, 11, lines
12-13 fit these inscriptionsinto it a few years earlier, around mid-century.The other inscriptionswhich
preservementionof the poletai in the publicationformuladate throughoutthe secondhalf of the 5th century:

discredited.31In other inscriptions,such as IG I3, 80, lines 16-20; 84, lines 26-28; and 110, lines 20-24, of
421/0, 418/7, and 408/7 respectively,the provisionsfor publicationare fully preserved,but the poletai are
not mentioned. These are, no doubt, examples of abbreviatedexpression. The poletai must have let the
appropriate contracts, but the fact is not stated.
The latest example of the poletai in a publicationformulauses a differentwording.The inscriptionis a
law on silver coinage of 375/4, which was found in the Agora and publishedin exemplaryfashion by R. S.
Stroud.32Stroud commentson the uniqueness of the wording of part of the publicationformula, and that
part deserves to be quoted. After the Boule orders that two copies of the law be inscribed and erected, then o

Tr7/1 o/X37tv(lines 47-49). The familiar a7roltcOwaTcravTv is missing here, but in my opinion this can be
explained as another example of abbreviatedphraseology.The poletai are not instructedto let the contract
for the stelai, but they are ordered to bring it before the Boule for ratification. This must be the meaning of
EfreVEyKovrovV.33 The secretary of the Boule, meanwhile, was to order the two stelai from the poletai.34 Why
a different wording was used here is not known, but the procedure seems to be basically no different from
that set forth in the normal formula of the 5th century.
With the exceptionof the law on coinageall known inscriptionswhich includethe poletai in the publi-
cation formula belong to the 5th century. After 400 the normal formula no longer mentions them. The
kolakretaialso disappearfrom the formula after 400, and their place is taken by other officialsor at times a
special fund. Who took the place of the poletai, if in fact they were replaced, is not revealed. One possible
explanation for their absence could be that with the proliferation of inscribed stelai in the 4th and subse-
quent centuries, a pool of masons was maintained by the state so that when publication of a document was
required, the necessary workmen could be provided without the letting of a contract. New evidence, how-
ever, generated by S. V. Tracy's study of one letter cutter of the second half of the 2nd century B.C., does not
lend support to this possibility.35 Tracy has shown that in the 2nd century there was a small group of skilled
cutters in Athens who operated from private shops and in competition with one another. Although this
evidence is from a later period, it doubtlessly reflects the normal practice in Classical and Hellenistic Athens
of contracting for public work no matter how small the job. To my mind it is as easy to maintain that the
poletai were not replaced as contractors for stelai after 400. Their absence from virtually all publication
formulas of the 4th century and later need mean no more than that the formulas were no longer so detailed as
before. One obvious fact, the contracting for th stelee by the poletai, was no longer stated. We have seen
above that several 5th-century versions of the formula omitted the poletai, probably owing to abbreviation,
and so their absence from later, less detailed formulas does not provide any basis for arguing that the poletai
were no longer involved in the publication of inscriptions. The coinage law associates them with publication
in 375/4, but there is no subsequentevidenceto indicatewhen they might have relinquishedtheir responsi-
bilities for contractingwith masons for stelai and lettering.36

I3, 72 was restoredby B. D. Meritt ("AtticInscriptionsof the Fifth Century,"Hesperza14, 1945 [pp. 61-133], pp. 106-
115). A new text, rejectingthe restorationof the poletai, is given by D. Bradeenand M. McGregor (Studiesin Fifth-CenturyAttic
Epigraphy, Norman, Oklahoma 1973, pp. 88-89). IG I3, 164 was restoredwith mention of the poletai by A. Wilhelm (SBWien,
1939 [ = AttischeUrkundenIV], p. 33), but this was shown to be incorrectby Meritt ("Noteson Attic Decrees,"Hesperia 10,1941
[pp. 301-337], pp. 330-331).

33Aristotle (Ath. Pol. 47.4-5) uses eloa-epwin exactly the same way in referringto lease recordsbroughtbeforethe Boule. Stroud
([footnote 32 above] pp. 183-184) appears to equate a'ro1wAMo6oavTwv
and Ec7eveyKOVTWV,but I do not believe that this is possible.
They refer to separate and distinct actions,although the latter term does imply the former.
34 Thus I follow Stroud in his
commentaryto lines 47-49 (loc. cit.), where p.d0wpMa is taken as "contract",but not in his trans-
lation (p. 160), where it is rendered"price".The secretaryof the Boule would not know the price of the contractbeforethe poletai
had let it.
35 Hesperia, Suppl. XV, esp. pp. 85-86, 120, 122.
36 After writing these lines I find that my conclusionsabout the publicationduties of the poletai drawn from the coinagelaw have
already been enunciatedby A. S. Henry ("Polis/acropolis,Paymastersand the Ten Talent Fund," Chiron 12, 1982 [pp. 91-118],
p. 103, note 34). Henry continueshis survey into the 3rd centuryin "AthenianFinancialOfficialsafter 303 B.C.,"Chiron 14,1984,
pp. 49-92; cf. especially p. 52, note 14 where one may infer his belief that the work on publicationof state documentsby the poletai
had passed to other financialofficersby the latter part of the 4th century.
The circumstancesin which the poletai occur in all other Attic inscriptionsare not such as to cause
surprise but are entirely consistent with Aristotle's account of their contracting and leasing duties. IG I3, 35,
line 8 recordsthe earliest known contractlet by the poletai for a public work, for a door to the hieron of
Athena Nike on the Akropolisshortly after 450 B.C. Contractswere also let by the poletai in IG I3, 45, lines
10-11, for some work of Kallikrates;in IG I3, 84, lines 5-6, for an enclosureof the sanctuaryof Kodros,
Neleus, and Basile; in IG II2, 204, lines 66-67, for stone markers around the Sacred Orgas.37 In IG II2, 463,
line 36, they are associated with o LrlTrEbtLOlKfa-eLin contracting for work on the city walls. The context in
which they occur in IG 13, 129, line 2 is not clear but probably also involved a contractual operation.38
Finally, an inscription should be mentioned which is not yet fully published but which provides the latest
preservedinstance of the poletai letting a contract.The inscriptionwas found at Brauronand dates to the
3rd century B.C. It calls for the inspection and repair of various buildings in the sanctuary of Artemis. The
poletai are mentioned apparently in a context which orders them to let contracts for the repair work.39
No inscription preserves mention of the poletai in connection with the leasing of a plot of state-owned
land, but D. M. Lewis provides an example in his convincing restoration of a
fratgment of IG I2, 334, which
charges them with leasing an Athenian plot called Nea.40 There is no indication that this is sacred land.
Rather, Nea is ordinarycultivableland newly acquiredby the Athenians.41
With regard to the leasing of state-owned sacred land the situation is wholly different. The poletai must
be denied a role in such leases, even though one is sometimes ascribed to them. We have seen that Aristotle
discusses the duties of the poletai in Ath. Pol. 47.2-3. In 47.4 he continues: ElaEpeL 8e Ka'to /3ao-aLEvsra?
p.LO(6o'CtELS rTv Tre.LevV avaypa4av iv ypa.laTELOL9 AEfXVK+efL`VOL. The rest of the chapter specifies time
limits and defines procedures. It is held by some42 that Aristotle's discussion of the poletai carries over into
47.4 and that he is saying that the Basileus brings before the Boule the leases of sacred properties made by
the poletai. My reading of the Greek leads to a different conclusion. Aristotle ceases to write about the
poletai after 47.3, and in 47.4 he goes on to a new subject,the leasing of temene. The break and change of
subject are clear. 47.4 is introduced by heKai, a frequent indication of a new paragraph in this piece of
writing, and it is not concerned with the poletai. The Basileus, the official who oversees the religious affairs
of Athens, brings forth the leases of sacred properties because he is the one who leases them.
A survey of the epigraphical evidence for the leasing of temene confirms, I believe, this interpretation of
Aristotle, even though it is an inscription, IG I3, 84, of 418/7 B.C., that has led scholars to accord the duty of
leasing sacred properties to the poletai. This inscription concerns the leasing of the temenos of Kodros,

leasing action. These lines, however, are introductory to a long rider. The main decree occupies only the first
ten lines of the inscription, and in it the responsibilities of the Basileus and the poletai are clearly distin-
guished: epXoa TO r htepov TO Kobpo KaLNeA'o9KaLTes BaorIAET K[a] I|lJALtoOoaL TO reTlevos Kara ras o-vv-

37 Rhodes ([footnote5 above, p. 58] pp. 27-28) has pointed out that the restorationof the poletai in line 68 of this inscription
places them in a context inappropriateto their functions.Cf. p. 5 above.
38In his latest text of this inscription(Lois sacreesdes cites grecques,Supplement, Paris 1962, p. 24, no. 7), F. Sokolowskihas
wisely deleted the restorationsof his earlier version ("A New Lex Sacra from Athens," TAPA 90, 1959 [pp. 253-255], p. 255), in
which the poletai were assigned the unparalleledtask of leasing chargesfor wood and other items used at a sacrifice.Such charges
would more logically be handled by officialsof the cult concerned.
39The inscriptionwas found by J. Papadimitriouand announcedin "Epyov1961 [1963], pp. 24-26. A photographof the in-
scription,but no text, was published by Papadimitriou("The Sanctuaryof Artemis at Brauron,"ScientificAmerican,June, 1963

THE POLETERION 65
[T] | as Xavvypafas ... (lines 4-7). The statementin the rider should not be taken to show that the poletai
had a hand in the leasing of the temenos. They are mentioned there because their action, like that of the
Basileus, is done KaraT rTa xorvvypaPa6. Throughout the rest of the rider the Basileus is regarded as the sole
agent responsible for the lease of the temenos.43
To the evidenceof this inscriptionmay be addedthe unambiguousstatementsin IG II2,204 in which, as
we have seen, the poletai are instructed to let a contract for boundary markers of the Orgas (lines 66-67). As
for the renting of the Orgas, a piece of sacred land, the Basileus alone is to be responsible (lines 24-26).
Thus, what epigraphicalevidencethere is appears to bear out the interpretationof Ath. Pol. 47.4 that the
Basileus acted without the poletai in leasing state-owned sacred properties,although the opposite view is
taken by Walbank, pp. 149-169 below, passim.
The sale by the poletai of the privilege of collecting state taxes44is found in three inscriptions. In
IG I3, 130, line 6, they sell the right to collect a one-drachma levy on shipowners in Peiraieus. In the frag-
ment of IG II2, 334 discussed above, SEG XVIII, 13, line 12, the poletai are correctly restored as selling
the right to collect the 7rTEVTKOo-T. Finally, in IG I3, 136, Ferguson has surely come close to the correct
text in his restoration, made exempli gratia, which connects the poletai with the collection of the two-
drachmatax of Bendis.45A further inscription,P26, and ancient literary sourcesname several other taxes,
all of which were probablyfarmedout in the usual way, althoughthe poletai are not specificallymentioned
in association with them.46
Ancient sources do mention the poletai in association with one of the most important taxes in Athens,
the /ETroLKLoy,47 not as lessors of the tax, which they surely were, but as sellers of metics who defaulted in
paying it. These passages have generatedmuch discussion.48The main issues are whether or not a legal
process,an a7rayoyrl 7rpos roVS 7TwAXJTas, was undertakenin cases of metics who defaulted,and where the
business involving the metic's tax took place. As for the location, Aristotle tells us that taxes were let in
the presence of the Boule, i.e. at the Bouleuterion,so the /.eTObKlOV would have been let there. It is most
probable that the tax was paid at the Poleterion, which will be discussed shortly, and that official records of
the tax status of metics were kept there. On the legal question, any attempt to involve the poletai as judges in
a specific legal process must be opposed. There is no evidence that the poletai were endowed with any judi-
cial powers. They must have frequently been called upon by courts to provide evidence in financial cases, but
they themselves never adjudicated them.
THE POLETERION
The poletai had their own office, the Poleterion. Here they dischargedtheir clerical duties and received
various payments from sales and leases for which they were responsible.The sales and leases themselves

their activities in it in the same way that I do: cf. pp. 55-61, especially his schematic portrayal of the inscription'sbusiness,
pp. 56-57. In "Leasesof Sacred Propertiesin Attica, Part IV," Hesperia 52, 1983 (pp. 207-231), p. 221, note 92, M. B. Walbank
argues against my interpretationof the role of the poletai in IG I3, 84 but looks favorablyupon my readingof Ath. Pol. 47.3-4. He
believesthat a change of duties occurredbetween the time of the inscriptionand Ath. Pol., so that in the 5th centurythe poletai were
responsiblefor the leasing of temene,while by the latter 4th centurythey had been relievedof this duty. Such a changeof duties is not
out of the question and must be considereda possibility. I would, however, expect Aristotle to have noted the change as he does in
other instances where similar administrativechanges have occurredthrough time. Rhodes (Commentary,p. 34, note 178) lists
passages in Ath. Pol. where differencesbetween past and currentpracticesare noted.

were transactednot at their office but at the Bouleuterion,becausethe poletai merely acted as agents of the

of the passage, which places the activitiesof the poletai in close conjunctionwith the Boule. Unfortunately,
the epigraphicaland literarysourcesare ambiguouson this point. In P5, lines 1-39, for example, Theosebes

(Ath. Pol. 52.1). Although the place where confiscatedpropertieswere sold is not specifiedin either case, I
believe that it is preferableto concludethat sales did not take place in the lawcourts.What took place in the
courts was the decision to condemn and confiscate. From there the Eleven conveyed confiscated goods to
the poletai who then sold them at the Bouleuterionin the presence of the Boule. The poletai then made
recordsof these sales and kept them in their office.
Literarysourcessuggestthat the Poleterionwas locatedin the Agora.50The fact that the poletai worked
closely with the Boule reinforcesthis suggestion and prompts us to look for the Poleterion in the south-
western part of the Agora, somewhere near the New Bouleuterion. Suitable architectural remains for magis-
trates' offices exist in this area, e.g., the so-called Strategeionand the structuresacross the street from it,
South Stoa I, and the Old Bouleuterion.51The first and latter two of these buildings were not ready to
provideofficespace until the secondhalf of the 5th century,while the poletai neededan officemuch earlier,
since they were a functioningboard from early in the 6th century (see below, pp. 67-69). This leaves the
structuresacross the street from the so-called Strategeionas the most suitable location for the Poleterion.
These modestconstructionswere built and re-built over a periodextendingfromthe 6th to the 4th centuries,
and they continuedto exist until they were demolishedto make way for the Middle Stoa in the 2nd century.
Thus they offer the only space availablefor officesduringmost of the periodin which the poletai functioned.
We may tentativelyplace the Poleterionamongthem.52
It might seem logical that the poletai would have set up their inscribedaccountsat their officeand that
the findingplaces of fragmentsbelongingto them would indicatewhere that officewas. The majorityof pole-
tai fragmentswere foundin the area coveredby grid squaresF-I/I 1-15 (see Plan),53which encompassesthe

as I do. The main proponentof a locativetranslation,with poletaisales and leases takingplace in the lawcourts,is Finley (pp. 41-42,
237, note 20). Finley cites two examplesof leases made in Atheniancourts,a p.o<Bcoo-ti owov involvingthe archon(Isaios, 6 [On the
Estate of Philoktemon])and leases for work directedby a boardof epistatai (IG II2, 1669, lines 18 and 21). Neither example has any
relevanceto the activitiesof the poletai. Rhodes does not discuss the phrase in his commentaryon the Ath. Pol., but in his recently
publishedtranslation,Aristotle:The Athenian Constitution,New York/London 1984, p. 93, he rendersit instrumentally.
50These referencesare collectedby Wycherley,Agora III, nos. 537-540, p. 165.
51 The Poros Building was once consideredamong the possible sites of the Poleterion (R. S. Young, "An Industrial District of
Ancient Athens,"Hesperia 20, 1951 [pp. 135-288], p. 187), but the recentand plausible identificationof that building as the state
prison rendersthis suggestionuntenable:see E. Vanderpool,"The State Prisonof AncientAthens,"in FromAthensto Gordion:The
Papers of a Symposiumfor Rodney S. Young,University Museum Papers 1, Philadelphia 1980, pp. 17-31.
52This is also where Homer Thompson suggests locating the Poleterion, cf. Agora Guide3,p. 58. Convenientsummariesand
further bibliographyon the buildings discussedin this section may be found in Agora XIV, pp. 29-38 (Old Bouleuterion),p. 73
("Strategeion"),p. 74 (buildingsacrossthe street from the "Strategeion"),pp. 74-78 (South Stoa I).
A monumentwhich presumablystood near the Poleterionis the only poletai dedicationwe have, a small marble statue base
dedicatedby two poletai in 324/3: cf. P. A. Pantos, <'E7rtypa#&Ka'rapa rTnvayopav rWV'A6vWffvo,'ApX'E; 1973 (pp. 175-188),
pp. 175-176, no. 1. The base was foundto the north of the Agora in Agia Thekla Streetand in a moderncontext,and so it is no help
in determiningthe locationof the Poleterion.
53Of the 93 poletai fragmentsfound in the general area of the Agora (grid squares F-R/2-16), 70 come from the southwest
corner.My figures, which do not include the fragmentsof PI, are higher than those of Crosby (Hesperia 19, 1950, p. 191, note 6),

proposedsite of the Poleterion,and so some slight corroborationregardingthe locationof this officemight be

indicated,even at the risk of circularreasoning.Yet the concentrationwas thickestright aroundthe Tholos,
especially to the north in grid squares F-H 11. Here is the court of the New Bouleuterion,an open space
intended primarily for members of the Boule. But since the poletai transacted sales and leases at the
Bouleuterionand the Boule confirmedand was ultimately responsiblefor them, it would also have been
fitting for the poletai accountsto be set up here.54Alternatively,we might explain the finding of numerous
fragmentsof poletai stelai aroundthe New Bouleuterionby arguingthat the Poleterionand the settingplace
of the stelai were proximate and by placing the poletai office within the Old Bouleuterionafter a transfer
from elsewhere in the latter 5th century,when completionof the New Bouleuterionfreedthe older building
for other uses. This has certain attractionsbut is less economicalthan the views favored above that the
Poleterionwas alwaysjust outsidethe southwestcornerof the Agorawhile the poletai stelai were set up near
the Bouleuterion.
Whatever be the true relationshipbetween stelai of the poletai and their office,the later history of the
stelai may be reconstructedfrom the contextsin which some fragmentswere found.P5 and PA1 (which may
belong to a poletai inscription)come from contextsof the late 4th to early 3rd centuriesand were probably
thrown down in the disturbanceswhich are documentedfor the southwestcornerof the Agora at this time.55
Severalstelai were toppled or damagedin the sack of 86 B.C.:part of P17 and P31, which were found in late
Hellenistic contexts,and parts of P20, P26, and P53, from the early Roman screenwall aroundthe courtof
the New Bouleuterion.P9 and P18 seem to have stood until the 2nd century after Christ when they were
taken down for reinscription.The Herulian sack of A.D. 267 shouldaccountfor the destructionof most of the
rest, although no certain fragment of a poletai inscriptionwas used in the post-Herulian wall (only PA5
comesfrom this wall). Instead, quite a numberwere availablefor re-use in Late Roman times:part or all of
Pll, P13, P18, P19, P23, P26, P27, P34, P36, P50, P54, P55, and P56. This suggeststhat a numberof stelai
remainedstanding in their original position well on into the Roman period, although we are not to believe
that they survivedintact all this time. As successivedespoliationsvisitedthe Agora,the forestof stelai, poletai
and others, in the southwest corner became progressivelydepleted. Those stelai that did survive suffered
damage with each new onslaught, so that finally little more than a randomcollectionof stumps remained.
P26, a large stele, seems to reflectsuch a sequence.Part of it (P26 b) was brokenoff in 86 B.C.,while another
part (P26 e) was apparently not removed until centuries later. A similar history of fragmentationcould
probablybe written for the other stelai of which pieces were re-used in later Roman times.
HISTORY OF THE POLETAI

We know of the existence of the poletai beforethe 5th centuryonly throughAristotle'sstatement(Ath. Pol.
7.3) that they were functioningin the time of Solon. Most scholarshave acceptedthis, and only a few have
dissentedor are noncommittal.56Even in the face of this near unanimity,however,it is worthwhileto recon-
sider the early history of the poletai and to ask what their duties might have been if they did constitutea
magistracyin the early 6th century.
Those who deny the existenceof the poletai as early as Solon find it difficultto envisiontheir functionin
a state as yet unencumberedwith the economicand financialcomplexitiesthat were presentin 5th- and 4th-
who countedonly mining leases. Not many poletai inscriptionswere removedfar from the Agora:one ended up in the Kerameikos
(P14), part of one was found near the Tower of the Winds (fragmenta of P40), one came from the Akropolis(P15), and one from
the south slope (P21).
54 This is the same conclusionarrived at by Crosby (op. cit., p. 191). In my opinion this conclusiondoes nothing to weaken the
picture of this court drawn by H. A. Thompson ("Buildings on the West Side of the Agora," Hesperia 6, 1937 [pp. 1-226],
pp. 167-171 and Agora XIV, p. 33) as a secludedarea not favoredwith many monuments.The poletai stelai would not have been
obtrusive,and the number of people who might wish to consult them would always have been comparativelysmall.
55 Most recently on this cf. Stella G. Miller, "Menon's Cistern," Hesperia 43, 1974 (pp. 194-245), pp. 209-210, with
bibliography.
56 Notable among the dissentersare K. J. Beloch (GriechischeGeschichteI, Strasbourg1913, p. 320) and G. de Sanctis (ATOIZ,
Turin 1912, p. 249). U. Kahrstedt(Untersuchungenzur Magistraturin Athen, Stuttgart 1936) does not commithimself, nor does

centuryAthens. Indeed, on the basis of what we know, it would be unwise to argue for an officiallyrecog-
nized class of metics in SolonianAthens who were subjectto a metoikionor sale into slaveryby the poletai if
they defaulted.It is equally riskyto attemptto find evidencefor contractslet for public works in the early 6th
century.Civic projectsthere were, on the Akropolis,at the site of the new Agora,andjust a bit later along the
courseof the city's first enceinte,but it would be a surmise,backedup by no evidence,that these works were
carriedout under contractslet by the poletai. A similar dearthof evidenceprohibitsus from extendingback
to Solon the institutionof tax-farmingand the sle by the poletai of the right to collecttaxes. Lastly, a well-
known incident involvingthe Laurion mines leads us to the conclusionthat the poletai did not lease mines
in the 6th century.From Herodotos(7.144) and Aristotle(Ath. Pol. 22.7) we learn that early in the 5th cen-
tury the Athenian state accumulateda large surplus of revenuefromthe mines, especiallyfrom the bonanza
struckat Maroneia in 483. We read nothing about leases, nor does this accumulationof mining wealth by
the state appearto have been anythingout of the ordinary.This informationsuggestsa differentform of ad-
ministrationof the mines at this time, and presumablyearlier, than in the 4th and probablythe latter 5th
century,a form in which leases and the poletai played no part.
Two possible duties remain for Solonian poletai, the leasing of public lands and the sale of properties
confiscatedby the state. That public lands were leasedin the Archaicperiodcan be inferredfroma statement
of Photios (s.v. vavKpapol) that the naukraroilet such leases. These were ancient functionariesof Athens,
alreadyactivein the time of Kylon. They were principallyfinancialofficers,but in the Solonianconstitution
they managed only the naukraric fund and had no wider financial responsibilities.57When the board of
poletai was created,the majorfinancialduties of the naukraroipassed to it. That this resultedfrom legisla-
tion enactedby Solon seems a reasonableconclusionto draw from the evidencethat is available.58
The situation with regard to confiscatedproperties is less clear. The earliest attested confiscationin
Athens took place during one of the exiles of Peisistratos,when his propertywas sold (Herodotos,6.121.2).
For the time of Solon we have no information,but the stele with the republicationof Drakon's homicide
laws, IG I3, 104, provides us with some clues. This inscriptionreveals that the Athenians of the late 5th
centurystill obeyedcertainlaws which were codifiedin the 7th century.59Confiscationsof propertyare not
mentioned,but this is probablybecause the only part of the law which is preservedis the section on invol-
untary homicide,in which, in later times at any rate, the guilty party was allowed to retain his possessions.
Demosthenes,21.43 (AgainstMeidias) is an accuratestatementof that law. Yet in the same passageit is also
stated that voluntary homicides did lose their property. If Drakon's law on voluntary homicide had been
preservedon the stele, it is very likely, in my opinion, that the punishmentswhich it specifiedwould corre-
spondto those set forthin AgainstMeidias, deathor exile and confiscationof property.Scholarsare reluctant
to accept this proposal because of lack of evidence,60but since many lacunae in IG I3, 104 can be success-
fully filled by consulting passages of Demosthenes, we may feel some confidencethat a reconstructionof
Drakontianlaws on voluntaryhomicideusing the same passages is equally valid. We may thus tentatively
57 Aristotle, Ath. Pol. 8.3. On the naukraroi see B. Jordan, "Herodotos5.71.2 and the Naukraroi of Athens," CSCA 3, 1970,
pp. 153-175, esp. pp. 158-160 for speculation about their financial duties; also idem, Servantsof the Gods, Hypomnemata 55,
Gottingen 1979, pp. 56-62, where Jordan places himself in the group of those who doubtthe existenceof Solonianpoletai. Despite
this I find his discussioncongenialto my reconstructionof the relationshipbetweenthe naukraroi,the poletai, and the Soloniancon-
stitution, and at the end of his remarksJordan admits a willingness to acceptthat a divisionof labor among financialboardsbegan
with Solon. A more recent attempt to place the origin of the Athenian naukraroiin the Bronze Age (J.-C. Billigmeier and A. S.
Dusing, "The Origin and Function of the Naukraroiat Athens:An Etymologicaland Historical Explanation,"TAPA 111, 1981,
pp. 11-16) will probablyattractfew adherents.
58 The same conclusionis independentlyreachedby Walbank, pp. 149-150 below. For a recent, general treatmentof leasing in
ancient Greece, see Osborne,"Socialand EconomicImplications,"esp. pp. 281-292 for public leases in Athens.
59 This point is argued convincingly by R. S. Stroud in his monograph on the inscription, Drakon's Law on Homicide,
Berkeley/Los Angeles 1968, pp. 60-64.
60 A good example is E. Ruschenbusch
(Untersuchungenzur Geschichtedes athenischenStrafrechts,Cologne 1968, pp. 11-15),
who does not recognizeconfiscationas a form of punishmentin the time of Solon. The issue of confiscationis not consideredin the
recent treatmentof Drakon's law on homicideby M. Gagarin, Drakonand Early AthenianHomicide Law, New Haven/London
1981. Much of Gagarin'sargumentationis forcedand very tenuousand in the case of IG I3, 104 offersat best only a weak alternative
to Stroud'sinterpretation.
HISTORY OF THE POLETAI 69
concludethat propertywas being confiscatedfromvoluntaryhomicidesin Solon'stime. If this is correct,then

there was definitely a need for a board of poletai in the early 6th century, since the state would want to sell
most of the goods it acquired in this manner.
The very title of this board of magistrates lends support, I believe, to the conclusionthat they were
functioning in the time of Solon and even before. Why are they called 7rwoXrlai?They did conduct sales, but
they made leases and let contracts as well. Thus, lrO-wTraiwould not have been an inappropriate name for
them.61Their title must have something to do with their original function. In the 4th century, as we have
seen, they were first of all sellers who accepted cash in exchange for goods or privileges. The verbs a7ro8ilo/8z
and 7rTpvriJitL
consistently occur in literary and epigraphical sources to describe their transactions. Previous to
the Solonian era, before money was in widespread use in Attica,62 sales took the form of barter in kind. The
verb 7rwoAEooriginally meant "barter",63and this must reflect the basic nature of the early poletai. They
made sales and leases by bartering for adequate payment in kind. Thus we should accept the mention of
Solonianpoletai by Aristotleas fact. We do not know their numberat this time, but they were probablynot a
board of ten until the Kleisthenic reorganization was instituted.
If the early history of the poletai may be said to rest on reasonablyfirm ground,their later history does
not. That they were still active in the 3rd century is shown by P52-P55 and the inscription mentioned above
(p. 64) dealing with work in the sanctuary of Artemis at Brauron. From the beginning of the 2nd century,
besides P56, there is a fragmentary list of officials from the Agora which included the poletai.64 Ferguson
included them in the list of Athenian magistracies which he believed existed in the second half of the 2nd
century.65 There is no reason to doubt this, since we have their proven existence in the early part of the
century, and there were no major constitutional changes until the end of the century. Furthermore, some
tangential support for their inclusion in the list comes from the fact that praktores with Athenian demotics
are named in a 2nd-centuryinscriptionfrom Imbros.66If this minor financialboardcouldfunctionso late, it
is reasonable to believe that the poletai also continued to play a part in the financial bureaucracy of the
government, whatever their exact duties may now have been. Thus the board of poletai probably continued
to function until the constitutional changes of 103/2, or possibly even 86/5.
In the Roman era there is plenty of documentation for activities formerly managed by the poletai but
now conducted by others. For example, in a document of Hadrianic date believed to deal with tax farming
(IG II2, 1104) it is stated that the argyrotamiai along with the herald were to sell the securities of (probably)
tax-farmers who defaulted. Formerly such a sale would have been conducted by the poletai. In addition we
know from Cassius Dio (69.16.2) that Hadrian enacted a law at Athens which forbade any member of the
Boule from having a tax farmed out to himself. The Boule, not the poletai, now apparently directed the
whole process of tax farming. Contemporary with these enactments, Hadrian's oil law (IG II2, 1100) pro-
vided confiscations as penalties for certain infractions (e.g., lines 26, 29-30, 40-43). No officials are
desig-
nated to sell the property obtained under this law, for it went directly into the fiscus instead. With their
duties taken over by other officials in this new order of things the poletai had now become superfluous.

tions, Studies Presentedto VictorEhrenbergon his 75th Birthday, Oxford 1966, pp. 177-191. Since the Attic Stelai
have recentlybeen re-editedas IG I3, 421-430, the texts are not publishedhere.
The date of the Attic Stelai is 414/3 B.C.They recordthe sales of personaland real propertyof those men convictedof
profaning the Eleusinian Mysteries and mutilating the Herms in the precedingyear and are the earliest inscribed
transactionsof the poletai that have survivedfrom antiquity. Lewis (StudiesPresentedto V. Ehrenberg,p. 183) once
expressedsome doubts about assigning these documentsto the poletai, but he has since acceptedthem;cf. Meiggs and
Lewis, loc. cit. Lewis' doubtswere, nevertheless,not without some foundation.A special boardof inquiry was created
to investigatethe mutilationof the herms (Andokides,1.40 [On the Mysteries]),and at least one trial connectedwith the
profanationof the Mysteries took place before the extraordinarycourt of 6000 (Andokides,ibid., 17). So it is possible
that becauseof the seriousnatureof the mattera special boardwas appointedto handleconfiscationsand sales. Lewis is
surely correct,however,in reasoningthat becauseof the fragmentarynatureof these stelai we do not rightly understand
those items which do not seem appropriatefor the poletai and an auction. Unless proof to the contraryis found, we
should regardthe Attic Stelai as documentsof the poletai.
Since they record sales which were the result of gravely impious acts against Demeter and Kore, it was deemed
appropriateto erect the Attic Stelai in the Athenian Eleusinion in order to show that the offenders had been duly
punished. A number of fragmentsof the stelai were found southeastof the Agora, at the site of the Eleusinion, and a
base of sufficientsize to support them was found in the excavatedpart of the sanctuary;cf. Agora XIV, p. 153, with
earlierbibliography.Only the uncoveringof the entire temenoscan demonstratewhetheror not base and stelai actually
go together.
We do not know if the Attic Stelai were pulled down when Alkibiades returnedto Athens in 407. If there is an
inclinationto believethat they stoodin their originalpositionfor a considerabletime after the 5th century,it is basedon
no evidenceother than the findingof many fragmentsof the stelai in late contexts.
Ancient authorityfor duplicatecopies of the Attic Stelai at Eleusis and Athens (Pollux, 10.97) and for the Athenian
set being on the Akropolis(Athenaios,11.476e) has been sufficientlyrefuted;cf. Pritchett,Hesperia 22, 1953, pp. 234-
235; A. Pippin, "The Demoiprataof Pollux X," Hesperia 25, 1956 (pp. 318-328), pp. 324-325.

Walbank made the associationof the two fragmentsof the heading, I 6225 and I 7202, and the discoverythat the
stelai recordthe sale of confiscatedpropertyof the Thirty Tyrants, the Ten, the PeiraieusTen, and the Eleven in the
archonship of Mikon; see "The Confiscationand Sale by the Poletai in 402/1 B.C. of the Property of the Thirty
Tyrants,"Hesperia 51, 1982, Pp. 74-98, for full epigraphicaland historicaldiscussion.The preservedfragmentscould
representas many as six stelai (Stele I, fragmentsa, b, c; Stele II, fragmentd; Stele III, fragmente; Stele IV, fragments
f, g; Stele V, fragmenth; Stele VI, fragmenti) or as few as three if fragmente goes with Stele II, fragmenth with Stele
IV, and fragmenti with Stele II or Stele III. In view of these uncertaintiesthe fragmentshave not been given stele
numbershere.
The fragmentswere found widely scattered,and so there is no clear-cut indication from the findspots about the
originalsite of the stelai. Walbankopts for a site near the Heliaia or at the Poleterion,whereverthe lattermay precisely
have been. It is just as likely that the stelai stoodwhere later poletai accountswere probablyset up, in the courtyardof
the New Bouleuterion.
The abbreviationEyyv in these stelai has causedproblemsin the past, but it is now generallyagreedthat it standsfor

In the next to last preservedletter space of line 41 I read, with Crosby,a circularletter. Meritt has doubtedthis reading(Hesperia
36, 1967,p. 100),butto myeyethetracesof a closed,circularletterareclear.The finalletteris unquestionably
an alpha,andso I
read"Oa[8ev],despitethe reservationsexpressedby SterlingDow on thisspellingforthemid-4thcentury("TheAtticDemesOA

For the decreeon the back of the stone, which suggestsa line of about 87 letters, see M. Crosby,Hesperia 26, 1957,

---] Crosby,probablycorrectly,
of P29, line 6 couldstand;cf. the apparatuscriticusto thatline.
Crosby originally read a punctuationmark for the upsilon in line 10, and this led her to place the inscriptionfairly
late in the series. She later made the correctreading:Hesperia 26, 1957, p. 10, under no. S3. P12 has no punctuation
marks and may assuredlybe dated before 350.
P13. Seven fragmentsof Hymettian marble, from a three- or four-columnedstele.

The length of line is either 41 or 43 letter spaces,dependingon which abbreviationsare used in lines 89-90, avL:and
bvo: or avtov: and bvoge: and whether in line 61 avaoa'f6uovis written out in full or abbreviated4vao-a4t:.Line 84
helps us to choose.The contextthere is iraAaL avao-anTLamines which are being renewedfromthe stele of an archon
whose name is missing. With a line of 43 lettersthe only possiblecandidateis Themistokles,archonin 347/6. The stele
would then date to 340/39, since this type of mine was let for a periodof sevenyears (cf. p. 60 above).With the shorter
line any of severalnames may be restored,but the best candidateis Agathokles,archonin 357/6. The stele would thus
date to 350/49. This is confirmedby the fact that we know from whose stele the ipyacolMamines were being renewed,
that of Thoudemos,archonin 353/2 (cf. line 17). This class of mines was leasedfor threeyears, so once again 350/49 is
the year that emerges.Thus the shorterline allows the restorationof line 84 which gives an exact correspondenceof due
dates for both longer and shorterleases. An epyai-LAovmine from the stele of Thoudemosmay also be treatedin P20,
lines 6 ff., but there is no conflictwith the present stele. An epyaaL.Aov
mine was not necessarilyleased again immedi-
ately upon expirationof the old lease. A period of years could easily pass beforea renewal was made.
For some unknownreasonmining leases are here datedby th civil calendar(lines 73, 77-78). The prytanycalendar
normally governedmining leases, the civil calendarthe sale of confiscatedproperties.For a summaryof the evidence,
see Rhodes (footnote5 above,p. 58), p. 228.
The text was probably arrangedin three columns, and all the leases in Col. I and some of those in Col. II were
presumablymade in the first prytany. Not until line 73 is there a lease dating from Metageitnion,presumablyin the
secondprytany, and that is immediately followedo by leases in mid-year,beginningwith one on the tenth of Gamelion
(lines 77-83). This supports Crosby'sargument (Hesperia 19, 1950, p. 192) that the majorityof leases were made in
the first prytany and that a few others were made throughoutthe rest of the year. Transactionsinvolvingconfiscated
propertiescould have occupiedmuch of Col. III.
P19. Two non-joining fragments of white marble very probably from the same stele. The smooth-pickedtop and
uninscribedback are preserved.
a: Two joining pieces, the left-hand one (I 6263) found in January 1950 in the long Late Roman wall east of the

Crosby gave the fragmentsseparate numbersbut noted the possibilitythat they belong together. Considerationsof
the marbleand letteringmake this possibilityprobable,and so the fragmentsare put underone numberhere. Crosby's
objectionthat the letter phi is distinctlydifferenton the two stones is overstated.The phis are not so differentlyshaped
as to exclude an associationof the fragments.
P20. Twenty-one fragmentsof an opisthographicstele of Hymettian marble. Five were found in ancient contexts:
d (I 1750 h + 2968) on May 10, 1935, in the foundationpacking of the Augustan Fountain House at the southwest
cornerof the BouleuterionPlateia (G 11); part ofj (I 1750 f) on July 22, 1936, in a classical context about one meter
northwest of the Tholos (G 11); m and n (I 1869 a, b) on April 25, 1934, in the Roman screen wall around the
BouleuterionPlateia (F 11). The remainingfragmentswere found in late or disturbedcontextsin the area of the porch
of the Bouleuterion(F 10-11, G 11): a,f, g, i, k, 1,o, and s duringApril and May, 1934; b on May 27, 1937; c on May

As noted by Crosby,Face B of fragmentsa and b show marksof a toothedchisel. The inscribedfaces of fragmentsc,
g, i, j, m, and n also exhibit such chisel marks, and they may tentatively be assigned to Face B of the stele. The
remainingfragmentsare too damagedto allow assignmentto either face.
There are irregularitiesin the checkerpattern,especiallyin lines 127-133, where the patternis followedonly at the
ends of the lines. The letters preservedat the left breakare not alignedwith the checkerpatternabove,and at least one
stoichos seems to be missing from these lines. Similar anomalies may occur elsewhere. So, in line 64 the restoration
[7raXalov avaa-4fipov] seems secure, although it gives a line of 33 letters, and in line 74 Davies (AthenianPropertied
Families, p. 525) plausibly suggests 4dai[bpospI mrL:],although it too gives a line with one too many letters.

In lines 152-153 Crosby (Hesperia 26, 1957, p. 14) read [KCal clKa]TaTopI [|lvpv roT 8dbae?o-Lt TroS] N[a]v[0rKAf'ovS
['A] or [II]Ao. The traceswhich I see on the stone do not supportCrosby'sreadings.Restorationof the demoticin lines
252 and 259 is from C. Habicht (per lit.), basedon Agora I 5094, for which see J. Traill, "The BouleuticList of 302/1
B.C.,"Hesperia 37, 1968 (pp. 1-24), p. 11, lines 15-16. In lines 257-258 Crosbyrestoredand read[Svolp.: r 'bo 80 'A/A-
fITpo] I[7r]Oev. The readings are possible, although I concur with Oikonomos and Kirchner that the first three pre-
servedlettersof line 258 are omega,sigma, and eta. In lines 262-263 Oikonomosand Kirchnerread[Ke]I|faAiwvos, but
the secondletter of line 263 is a clear iota, as Crosbyfirstnoted. In line 301 Crosby'sAeVKO6LOV, a place in Anaphlystos,
seems betterthan Kirchner'sAcvKO(v)o&ov,the Leontiddeme,which is usually assignedto the city trittys.The final two
lettersof line 381 are cut in the two-spacedcolumndivider.In the final letterspaceof line 392 I1readomicronin place of
Meritt's iota. We should thus print oLKoI[v] or oK(Q) | [av]. In line 452 after 'Epij I read [Xw]p[o -------] instead
of Meritt's [epy]a[ro-T2pLov ---]. The lacuna following couldbe filled with [Kal OIK:].The correctrestorationof the verb
in line 528 was first made by M. Crosby(Hesperia 10,1941, p. 23, commentaryto line 25).
In lines 103-151 a numberof new readingshave been made which differ from those publishedby Crosby(Hesperia
19, 1950, pp. 246-247). The surface of the stone is worn practicallysmooth in this area, and the letters appear best
when the stone is wetted and examined in direct sunlight. The surface of the stone in the area of lines 231-251 and
297-306, on the other hand, has completelydisappearedowing to flaking away of the surface. Here the readingsare
solely those of the previouseditors.
The use of punctuationmarks is fairly consistentthroughoutthe text, and I have taken the libertyof addinga few in
places where they were probablynot cut becauseof oversight:lines 137, 162, 222, 224, and 361. In line 214 Kirchner
read /o:pdpd,but there are no punctuationmarks after the omicronand first rho.
In lines 364-365 Meritt restores8evrep I[al lra,f'vov
LtKao'rTptov rw]. OOl'vovros also fits the available space, but
Meritt's supplement is preferable,if we are correctin believing that it was customaryto meet these cases early in the
month.
P27 (PI. 10). Five fragmentsof Hymettian marblecombininginto four non-joiningpieces possiblyfromthe same stele.
Fragmenta (I 5358), brokenall aroundexcept for the smoothbackwhich is possiblya reworking,was foundon March
22,1938, in a modernwall south of the Churchof the Holy Apostles (0-P 18). The two pieces composingthe right half
of fragmentb (I 4782) were foundon April 29 and May 5,1937, in a Late Romandisturbanceto the east of the porchof
the Tholos (H 11); the left half of fragmentb (I 7419; PI. 10, all of b) was foundon July 1,1972, in a late fill east of the
stoa of Attalos (U 11-12). Fragment b is brokenon all sides except for the back, which, as in the case of fragmenta,
appears to have been smoothed unevenly at a later time, and the bottom, which is a later reworking. Fragment c
(I 4883), broken all around, was found on May 22, 1937, in the same Late Roman disturbanceas the right half of
fragmentb. Fragmentd (I 4942), brokenall around,was found on June 7, 1937, in the same context as fragmentc.

For the date of fragmenta, cf. Crosby, Hesperia 19, 1950, p. 257. The new piece of fragmentb allows us to put it
with a with some assurance.Crosby,workingwith only part of b, placedit before350 B.C.becauseof the predominance
of masculine genitive endings in omicron and only one example of ov. The new piece gives several examples of the
genitive diphthongand shows that the formerdata were fortuitous.Rather than being indicativeof date, this variable
orthographyis no more than simple, abbreviatedwriting, a commonfeature not only in the poletai documentsbut in
other inscriptionsof the third quarterof the 4th centuryas well. For more on this, see L. L. Threatte, The Grammarof
Attic Inscriptions,I, Phonology,Berlin 1980, pp. 350-352.
P28. Fragment of Hymettian marble (I 2205) preserving a smooth back which was probably originally inscribed,

For the end of line 18 Crosbysuggestsa simple locativeMapwvela(t), while Eliot (CoastalDemes, p. 85) would read

of the name, while I read BAv.A nick has chippedaway the centralpart of the beta, but both loops are clearlyvisible.
The letter following is triangular,but no crossbaris visible. In line 23 the preservedlettersof the name of the mine are
somewhat chipped, and the strokes are filled with deposit, but they are reasonablyclear. In lines 28-29 Crosby's
reading 'Ep[I]a[&Kova]v | [ao-d&Mov] is impossible.The epsilon and alpha are certain,but so is a sigma after the latter.
I do not see Crosby'srho. The final letter space of line 28 is inscribednot with a nu but an omega and an iota.
The date is probably 339/8 as argued by Crosby. Her restorationsin lines 9-10 in that case are quite possible:

The date dependson Crosby'sreadingand restorationof lines 7-8 [sr' Et'VSo] vIAov and acceptanceof her argument
that this was the renewal of a seven-year lease. On the other hand, Hopper (BSA 48, 1953, p. 215) suggests [1rEL
QOeo]I AXov and a three-yearlease, so a date of 345/4. Alternatively,if Crosby'sreading is correct,but the length of
lease was three and not sevenyears, then the date would be 342/1. The firstletterof line 8 preservesonly the lower part
of a central vertical hasta, and so both readings are epigraphicallypossible. Crosby'shas the better chance of being
correctbecauseit gives a normal length of 47 letters for line 7, while Hopper's gives one letter too many.

In line 13 the secondpreservedletter consistsof two vertical strokes,while the fourth is only a right-handdiagonal.
With the former letter read as nu and the latter as alpha, avaa4,L is likely, even though there is no punctuation
following and six lines below the word is written out in full. Yet the reading of the xi, which is clear on the stone,
clinches the word and allows sense to be made of the following letters as the name of a mine, Ploutoniakon.Crosby
(Hesperia 19, 1950, p. 248) arguedfor this mine name in P26, lines 162-163, and the new readinghere goes some way
towards confirmingher conjecture.

Crosby thought it possible that P21, P22, and fragmenta of P32 belongedto the same stele, especially because of
their commonuse of the unabbreviatedform &vLovros.This is not a safe conclusion,however,since the word is entirely
restoredin P21 and P22. There are no certainabbreviationsin P21 and P22, while fragmenta of P32 does make use of
them. Despite other similarities,in marble and lettering,these fragmentsare thereforekept separate.

The length of line of Face A seems to be about 40 letters. The stoichedonunit is square, 0.008 m. on a side. There
were apparentlyat least two columns on Face A, and when space ran out the mason used the left lateral face for the
remainderof his text, crowdingthe letters to use as little space as possible.
A workshopof Diopeithes (line 10) is mentionedin P5, line 55, but the presenttext cannotbe that early becauseof
the genitivesin ov and the generalcharacterof the letteringon Face B. The letteringof Face A suggestsa date after the
middleof the century,in with the series of opisthographicstelai recordingmany leases, but the non-use of abbreviations
militates against this and suggests a later date.

The text is a combinationof Fourmontand Kirchner.Crosbywarnedthat Kirchnershifted lettersto fit restorations.
But since several lines construeplausibly with Kirchner'srenderingsand not with Fourmont's,lines 10 and 15 for
example, it may be that the text was inscribednon-stoichedonand that Fourmontregularizedthe letter spacing in his

III. LEASES OF PUBLIC LANDS
PREFACE
The history of the leasing of publicly owned land in Attica and in the territoriesat one time or anothercon-
trolledby Athens rests, to a very large extent, upon epigraphicalevidence.Of this evidencethe excavationsin
the Athenian Agora have yielded a small but significantpart. It is appropriate,therefore,to attemptin this
study to providea survey of Athenian practicesrelating to public leasing, even though much of the evidence
for these comes from other sites than the Agora.
It is not my intention, however, to provide here a corpus of all Athenian documentsrelating to the
leasing of publicly owned real property.The preparationof such a work requires autopsy of all available
documents, not merely those from the Athenian Agora: these materials are scattered and in some cases
difficultof access, and I have not, so far, been able to examine them all at first hand. I intendto publish such
a corpuselsewhere in the future.
The historical survey presentedhere, therefore,is based upon autopsy of those of the documentsthat
derive from the Athenian Agora or those provingto join with, or to be closely associatedwith, Agora docu-
ments. The rest have been studied from squeezes or, in a few cases, from publishedtexts and photographs.
Only the Agora documentsare editedin the secondpart of this study, along with those documentsfromother
sites that join or are closely associatedwith the Agora fragments.
I wish to thank Homer A. Thompson and BenjaminD. Meritt, who assignedthese inscriptionsto me
for detailed study. I am also grateful to T. Leslie Shear, Jr., Field Director of the Agora Excavations,who
assigned to me in 1983 the original publicationof several of these documentsand who has permittedme to
work in the Agora Museum on many occasionssince then, and to John McK. Camp II, Resident Directorof
the Agora Excavations.I wish, too, to thank Dr. K. Peppa-Delmouzou, Director of the EpigraphicalMu-
seum, and her Assistant, Chara Karappa-Molisani,for permissionto study documentsundertheir control.
I owe a special debt to Michael H. Jameson, David M. Lewis, and A. GeoffreyWoodhead:the extent of
their contributionwill be obvious. I am also grateful to Christian Habicht, who made it possible for me to
studyat the Institutefor AdvancedStudyat Princetonand to makeuse of the Institute'sextensivecollectionof
squeezes. I thank my co-authorsGerald V. Lalondeand Merle K. Langdonfor their help and co-operation.
The University of Calgary and the Social Sciencesand Humanities ResearchCouncil of Canada have
assisted me substantiallyover the past decadeby means of study leave and researchgrants, for which I am
most grateful.

LEASESOF PUBLIC LANDS
THE LEASING OF PUBLIC LANDS IN ATTICA
AND IN TERRITORIES CONTROLLED BY ATHENS
The history of the system employedat Athens for leasing out public lands is not clear:neitherthe epigraphic
recordnor the literary sources provides more than a series of disconnectedincidentsby which we may at-
tempt a reconstructionof this institutionand its history.1
From Photios (s.v. vavKpapoL)we learn that in the 7th centurythe naukraroihad the responsibilityfor
the leasing of public lands. We do not know whether they alone were responsiblefor this, or whether they
carriedout this task in associationwith the Archon Basileus, as did the poletai later on.
When the naukraroilost most of their powers under the constitutionof Solon and becamerestrictedto
the managementof the Naukraric Fund,2it may be assumedthat the duty of leasing out public lands passed
to those officialswhom we find involvedin this task when the epigraphicrecordbegins:the ArchonBasileus
and the poletai. These officials,too, are those who have this duty in the later 4th century,3but we do not have
any certain evidencefor their activities in this sphere before 418/17 B.C., when the earliest epigraphicref-
erence to them in this connectionis dated (IG I3, 84, line 12),4 although referencesto the leasing of public
land occurwell beforethis date in the epigraphicrecord.
Photios'remarkabout the duties of the naukraroiindicatesthat there was public land availablefor leas-
ing at the end of the 7th century:what this land was we cannotsay for sure, whetherit was ownedby the state
or merelythe propertyof variousreligiouscults. Aristotle,in the Politics (2.5.2.1267b), distinguishesbetween
three types of land ownership,which, he says, Hippodamosof Miletos first laid down as the properdistribu-
tion of land within a Greek state:A^pflp 8' el TrplagAep7, rT7r Xdpav, rTV jev lepav, T7jV 8e 8rjjA.o-'av,rr7vb
'ilav. In the AthenaionPoliteia, however, only one categoryof public lands apart from state-ownedmines,
which are a separate issue, is mentioned,under the generic term TEjEv):5 the responsibilityfor leasing out
these temene belongs with the Archon Basileus, as the earlier epigraphicrecordalso suggests. The temene
mentioned in the Athenaion Politeia are certainly publicly owned: do they comprise both the categories

150 III. LEASESOF PUBLICLANDS
mentionedin the Politics,the Lepaxwpa and the 8i1oo-rlaXwdpa ? Did, indeed,this distinctionapply in Athens,
or was all non-privateland regardedas 8i71,oo-'a, whetheror not it was attachedto a specificcult?
Again, the epigraphicrecordis contradictory:where the ownershipof land is known it falls into several
differentcategoriesand under the authorityof several differentofficers.For instance,the Archon Basileus
and the poletai are responsiblefor the leasing out of the temenosof Neleus and Basile in 418/17 B.C. (IG I3,
84, lines 6 and 12); somewhatearlier,in 434 B.C., the Delian amphiktyonesidentifythemselvesas the leasing
authorityfor the propertyof Apollo Delios on Delos and Rheneia (IG I3,402), and, in the decadebeforethis,
the leasing of a stable and houses owned by the Eleusinian Gods seems to have been the responsibilityof the
hieropoioi of Eleusis (IG I3, 395, lines 2 and 5), unless these officers are acting merely as subordinates
reportingto a board of epistatai, as seems to be the case here in 408/7 B.C. (IG I3, 386). Thus, in the 5th
centuryat least, some cults employ their own officersas leasing agents,and othersmake use of the officersof
the state.
In the 4th century,in fact, the epigraphicrecordpoints towarda similardivisionof powers.The officers
of the cult ofththeEleusinian Gods continueto deal with leases of its property(IG 112,1672? [329/8 B.C.] and
1675 [late 4th century]),but the leasing of the SacredOrgas (see Langdon,p. 64 above), which becamethe
subjectof a dispute in 352/1 B.C., is made the responsibilityof the Archon Basileus (IG II2, 204, line 25).
The Delian amphiktyonescontinueas beforein 5th century
theto handle the leasingof the god'spropertyon
Delos and Rheneia (IG II2, 1633-1653). By contrast,the series of leases of land belongingto severaldiffer-
ent cults in Attica that begins in 343/2 B.C. (L6, L9-L12, L14, L15) clearly involvesthe gatheringof the
propertyof many cults into the hands of a single leasing agent, surely an officerof the state. A documentcon-
temporarywith this series (L7, lines 7-11) names the poletai as the officialsresponsiblefor leasing out the
propertyknown as the Nea (probablynewly acquiredterritoryin the Oropia, cededto Athens in 338 B.C.),6
and, since the revenuesfrom this lease are to be applied to the celebrationof the Lesser Panatheneia,it is a
reasonableassumptionthat this land is sacredin characterand to be classedas a temenosof the kind that is
mentionedin the AthenaionPoliteia (47.4). Thus, again, we find cult authoritiesadministeringthe property
of their own cult in some cases, and theofficers of the state, in other cases, acting as the leasing authority.
Perhaps, then, all that is meant by the passage from the Athenaion Politeia cited above is that, if cult
were or
authorities were unwilling,
unwilling, or were judged by the state to be incompetent, to act as leasing agents for proper-
ty owned by the cult, the state would do it for them through the mechanism outlined in this passage. This
mechanismmay have been given formal status by some lost decree of the time of Lykourgos,but it repre-
sented, in effect, normal practiceat least from 418/17 B.C., when in fact there seems to be a referenceto a
vopAos governingsuch matters (IG I3, 84, lines 23-25), whenever the necessity arose for state involvement
and is probablyto be regardedas normalpracticeas far backas the time of Solon, when the formerresponsi-
bility of the naukraroiin this sphere was abrogated.7
As to the distinction between re.E'vq lepa andTr.u'vq 8?qoma, it seems clear from the Athenaion
Politeia that no such distinctionwas observedby the Athenians,at least by the late 4th century:land, if it was
not in private hands, was owned by some kind of public body,the state, the cults of the state, lesser political
organizations,such as phylai, trittyes,or demes,or religiouscorporations,such as phratriai,gene, orgeones,
or thiasotai, and the leasing of such property was normally in the hands of the officersof these groups.
Indeed, there is no evidence that any of these groups, apart from cults of the state, ever permitted their
responsibilitiesin this sphereto pass into otherhandsthan thoseof their officersor of membersappointedfor
this purpose.So far as the evidencegoes, land of a non-sacredcharacterwas held by the state only in special
circumstances,and then, often, not for very long beforeit was disposedof.
Land that was seized from private individuals as a result of offences against the state or of failure to
meet obligationsto the state was placed in the hands of the poletai, to be sold at public auction.8Such land
thus remainedin public hands only so long as the processof offering it for sale demanded,and there is no
evidencethat it was leased out as a temporarymeasurein the interval.

ORIGINS OF PUBLICLY OWNED LANDS 151
Land seized from other states, such as that neededfor the establishmentof cleruchies,similarly passed
out of public hands quite quickly,althoughtitle to it seemsto have remainedwith the state;the implicationof
the earliest epigraphicdocumentfrom Athens that we possesson the subjectof cleruchiesis that the cleruch
was requiredto remain on this land, to work it, and not to lease it to anyoneelse, save to one of his kin.9
Other foreign lands acquiredby Athens, whether by seizure10or by cession,1"if they were regardedas
sacred in character,were leased out, probablyalways, through the agency of the Archon Basileus and the
poletai. They were, in fact, temene of the sort describedin the AthenaionPoliteia.
THE EPIGRAPHIC EVIDENCE

From the period under consideration(late 6th through early 1st centuryB.C.) we possessmore than seventy
exampleson stoneof documentsdealingwith the leasing of public or semipublicreal property,both in Attica

and in territories under Athenian control. Of these, the excavationsof the Athenian Agora have yielded
sixteen examples. The paucity of these recordsis probablyan accidentof preservation,but the concentration
of such documentsin the second and third quarters of the 4th century indicates that at this time the au-
thorities had the greatestincentiveto commitsuch recordsto stone. At other times, there seems to have been
less inclinationon the part of the leasing authoritiesto employ this medium,but there is no reasonto believe
that the frequencyof leasing was any less during periodswhen the epigraphicrecordis sparsethan in peri-
ods when it is abundant.
The recordsare of severalkinds and categories.Since many list more than one, in some cases very large
numbersof leases, the total number of such leases that is now known exceedsthree hundred;in only a few
instances,however,is the historyof an individualpropertyknown over an extendedperiod,and in no case is
the entire history of a leaseholdpropertyknown.
ORIGINS OF PUBLICLY OWNED LANDS

For the most part, we know nothing whatsoeveraboutthe means by which these propertiescame into public
hands, if, indeed, they were not so from the start. Nor do we know their ultimate fate, whether they contin-
ued to be leased out or were sold off or passed, surreptitiouslyor by gradual encroachment,into private
hands as the leasing authority became careless or itself passed out of existence. Nor, in many cases, do we
know the reasonsfor the leasing of such properties.12

IG I3, 1. Opinionsvary as to whether this decreedeals with a cleruchyon Salamisor with Atheniansettlers,or even with native
Salaminians(see the discussionin Meiggs and Lewis, no. 14, pp. 25-27), but, as Meiggs and Lewis remark(p. 26), "theclausesthat
follow [line 1]1make bettersense if they referto Atheniansratherthan natives."If the subjectof this decreeis a cleruchy,it is likely to
date very soon after the reformsof Kleisthenes(Meiggs and Lewis, p. 27) and beforethe cleruchysent to Chalkis in 506 B.C. (Hero-
dotos, 5.77.2). The cleruchson Salamis seem to have been prohibitedfrom leasing out their kleroi,except to kinsmen (?, line 4); a
similar restrictionseems to have been imposedupon the 4th-centurycleruchson Lemnos(L3, lines 30-31). L3, line 34 refersspecifi-
cally to rosT e laXaa,[Zva--- ], but, althoughthe Salaminiancleruchyis probablyimplied here, it is not certainthat the referenceis
to the terms of IG I3, 1. Whether such restrictionswere always imposedis not clear:for instance,A. H. M. Jones (AthenianDemoc-
racy, Oxford 1969, p. 176) remarks:"Thereis in fact no clear evidenceof an Atheniancleruchresidingupon his lot overseasduring
the Pentacontaetiaand the PeloponnesianWar. I would suggest that they were not obliged or expectedto do so, and that the allot-
ments were regardedas endowmentswhich qualified them for hoplite service:they might prefer to cultivatethem themselves,but
they seem normally to have been absentee landlords."This seems to imply two kinds of cleruchyin the 5th century,one that was
designed to supply men who acted "as a unit of the Home Guard, as it were" (B. D. Meritt, H. T. Wade-Gery, and M. F. Mc-
Gregor, The Athenian Tribute Lists III, Princeton 1950, p. 293) and another that served merely to provide "endowments"that
raisedmen fromthe thetic to the zeugite class and thus made availableanothersourceof hoplitesfor the army (Jones, p. 176). In the
case of the Lemnian cleruchyof 387/6 (L3), there is some indicationthat not all the designatedcleruchswent to the island:at any
rate, provisionseems to have been made for dealing with those who did not go (lines 46-53). On cleruchiesin general,see H. Schul-
thess, RE XI, 1922, cols. 814:63-832:51, s.v. KAr)povxot; Meritt, Wade-Gery, and McGregor,pp. 282-297; A. J. Graham, Colony

12 On the origins of public landholding, see
Andreyev (footnote 1 above, p. 149), pp. 44-46, especially p. 45. Cult properties,
particularlythose of Herakles, Dionysos, and Demeter and Kore, seem to have very early origins;those of Apollo, Zeus, Athena,
Poseidon, and Pan are much later. Demes probably acquired their land "when the demes themselves were first formed as self-
Lands acquiredby the Athenian state, whether by conquest,by confiscation,or by cession,are a special
case:these are all foreign lands taken over by Athens in orderto provideland for cleruchiesor revenuesfor
the state and its cults; land in Attica confiscatedby the state was sold at auctionby the poletai and thus need
not concernus here. Such overseasterritoriesmight be leased out to Athenian citizens or metics, or even to
natives, perhaps the original propertyowners, who must have regardedthe rent that they were now called
upon to pay as, in effect, a tax imposed by Athens. When Athens lost controlof these territories,the native
tenants presumablyremainedin possessionand may have been permittedby their own state to resume legal
ownership;the Atheniansand metics, whether simple tenants or cleruchs,were surely evicted,althoughthe
only substantialrecordof such eviction occurs at the end of the PeloponnesianWar, when Athens lost her
empire. 3
CATEGORIES OF OWNERSHIP OF PUBLIC LANDS

There are five main categoriesof ownershipof publicly held real property:
1) the Athenian state;
2) individualcults or sanctuarieswhose officersacted as the leasing agents;
3) individualcults or sanctuariesfor whom the Athenian state acted as leasing agent;
4) political bodies, such as phylai, trittyes, or demes, whose officersor appointees acted as the leasing
agents;
5) semipublic religious corporations,such as phratriai, gene, orgeones, or thiasotai, whose officers or
appointeesacted as leasing agents.
TYPES OF RECORD
In all these categoriesthe recordscommittedto stone by the leasing agents vary in form and complexity;the
recordmay be in the form of a decree, sometimesa simple enabling decree, without elaborateconditions,
sometimes a whole series of terms, conditions,and waivers; it may be merely a recordof leases granted,
whether individuallyor in bulk; or it may simply be an accountingentry under the rubric "totalof rents
received".It is clear that there was no set practiceand that more completerecordsmust have existed else-
where, to be consulted if the epigraphic record was deemed insufficient.The tenants may be individuals:
Athenian citizens, metics, natives of the territory concerned,or perhaps (though no recordof such exists)
foreignersto whom Athens permitted short- or long-term sojournin territoriesunder its control, such as
refugees or political exiles; or the tenants may themselvesbe public bodies:political organizationsor reli-
gious corporations.
HISTORY OF THE LEASING OF PUBLIC LANDS IN ATTICA

AND IN TERRITORIES CONTROLLED BY ATHENS
Documentsrelatingto the leasing out of public propertyin Atticaor in territoriescontrolledby the Athenian
state are rare at all times. The greatestconcentrationof such recordsoccursin the secondand third quarters
of the 4th centuryB.C., probablyreflectingthe reformsinitiatedby Euboulosand his colleagueandsuccessor
Lykourgosin the 340's and 330's.1 The absenceof recordson stone beforethis date seems to be a result of
governingsettlements,"beforeAtticawas united, but phylai, trittyes,and, indeed,the state itself did not acquiretheir land until very
late. The documentaryevidenceleaves "an impressionof somethingartificialand laboriouslymade at a time when the reservesof
'free' land in regions suitable for agriculturewere long exhausted."Religious organizations,such as phratriaiand gene, developed
their landholdings"at a time when these associationsstill occupieda compactterritory,"but orgeoneswere not likely to have ac-
quired land until a "timewhen Athens was becomingor alreadyhad becomethe political centerof Attica."

practice,ratherthan an accidentof survival.Such lease records,if they existed, were evidentlykept on more
perishablematerialthan inscribedstone stelai and have not survived.15
The earliest referenceto the leasing of public property at Athens is not, in fact, either a lease or an
enabling decree:rather, it is a decree of the Athenian state by which are set down the terms under which
cleruchs(?)shall live on the island of Salamis, which Athens had recentlyannexed.'6The crucialclausesare
partly,by no means certainly,restored;their import,however,is that each cleruchis forbiddento lease out his
holding to anyone else, except to a kinsman(?),on pain of a fine to be paid by both parties to such an illegal
lease (lines 3-7). Athens, by imposingthis restriction,seemsin some sense to retain legal title to the property,
and the cleruch,by undertakingthe obligationsset upon him and by observingthe restrictionsof the decree,is,
in effect, a tenant. Another, far more detailedtext relating to cleruchies17amplifiesthe provisionsset out in
the Salamisdecreeand specificallyrefersto the conditionsunderwhich the cleruchsin Salamisholdtheir land

(line 34). I assume from this passage that all Athenian cleruchieswere set up along the same lines and with
the same prohibitionsagainst leasing, throughoutthe history of this institution:the cleruchheld his land in
trust, as it were, for the Athenian state.
A Lex Sacra and associateddecree of the deme of Melite may provideour next example of a lease of
public property (Appendix, LA1).18The Lex Sacra is dated soon after 480 B.C.;the decree, which is in-
scribed upon the same stele, is placed sometimebefore 450 B.C. The stele is too fragmentaryto permit co-
herent restoration,but one fragment,1,whose precise locationon the stele is unknown,19containsthe terms
[ML]fo-00[at] and p.ua-0[ ] in a context that may involve either leasing, contracts for public works,
or paymentof wages.20
The next dated lease record also involves a cleruchy, that establishedin the Chersonesea little after
450 B.C.(IG I3, 417). This documentappearsto be a list of lands allocatedto cleruchsor to otherindividuals.
There is no referenceto leasing, but the documentseems similar to L2, a later recordof state-ownedland
outside Attica that was leased out to individuals.
passim, esp. pp. 455-463. ProfessorH. A. Thompson (per ep.): "I am struckby the fact that the period in which you find such an
efflorescenceof lease inscriptionsshould also have witnessedmuch activityin frontof the Stoa Basileios:the groundlevel was raised,
the little south porchwas addedto providea more imposingentranceto the officeof the Basileus in the south part of the Stoa, a set of
beautiful new marblethronesreplacedthe old porosthronesin frontof the building, and a great statue of Themis was erectedon the
axis of the Stoa. All this may reflect the revival in the prestige of the Areopagusthat seems to be well attestedfor this period, but
the constructionof the south porch, much finer than the older north porch that seems to have stood in front of the entranceto the
meeting place of the Areopagusin the north part of the Stoa, suggeststhat some attentionwas being paid to the Basileus as well as to
the Areopagus."

rials; hence, wages, pay, salary, fee".This recompensemay be in kind, in service,or in cash, in one paymentor in several,regularor
irregular;and the person performingthe servicemay be free, indentured,slave, or serf (see LSJ, s.v. .iuo-66,etc. and P. Chantraine,
Dictionnaireetymologiquede la languegrecque:Histoire des mots, Paris 1968-1974, s.v. J.LL60os,etc.). There are dozensof examples
in Attic documentsof /io-0ds and its derivativeshaving this sense of "recompensefor work done or servicesperformed",particularly
in the contextof public works (where the contractoris a Al(o7or0}), but there are relativelyfew casesof jALr0doand pLO(rWT7s mean-
ing respectively"rent"or "tenant".It is clear, however, in all these cases that the owner of the propertythat is being leased out re-
gards it as something that will earn him recompenseof some sort, usually money paid in regular installments:this is, after all, a
natural extensionof the idea of "recompensefor work, serviceor material".The property,in effect,works for hire,just as a slave may
be rented out for hire.
154 III. LEASES OF PUBLIC LANDS
Different in form is an enabling decree,by which the terms and conditionsfor the leasing out of parcels
of land are laid down. What survivesfrom the Agora is actuallythe riderto such a decree(LI).21There is no
indicationof the locationof this land: it may be overseas,a cleruchyor state-ownedland, or in Attica. Nor is
it clear whether this text is a decreeof the Athenian state or the decisionof some other political body.
Different again is the record of moneys contributed to the funds of the hieropoioi or the epistatai of the
Sanctuary of the Eleusinian Gods (IG I3, 395, lines 2 and 5). Their income includes the rent of a stable (lines
2-3) and other buildings at Eleusis (line 5), the stable being rented to another cult, that of Heros latros.
IG I3, 392, lines 10-11 and 394, line 10 may be parts of the same record. This is our first case in which a
public or semipublic body is itself a tenant. The property of a god provides also our sixth example of the
leasing of public lands: part of the records of the amphiktyones of the Sanctuary of Apollo Delios, dated
to 434/3 and 433/2 B.C.(IG I3, 402). Properties on Delos itself and on the island of Rheneia were leased out
to private individuals for a term of ten years in each case:22these propertiesincluded lands, gardens, and
houses. This record is the first of several that survive relating to the property of the Sanctuaryof Delian
Apollo: the others, all but two, are dated in the 4th century.23
Next, datedbetween 430 and 410 B.C., is a list of temeneon the island of Euboia, owned by the Athenian
state and leased out to individuals (L2).24 Some of these persons may be natives of Euboia, perhaps the
original owners of these properties,dispossessedwhen Athens confiscatedthe land after the Euboian Revolt.
The temene are apparentlylisted as the propertyof some god, rather than of the Athenian state. The term
temenoshere embracesarableland, olive groves,and othertypes of cultivatedland. The formof this recordis
similar to that of IG I3, 417, although it is more complete.25
The first, and only, completeenabling decreeto surviveis datedto 418/17 B.C.26This is a decreeof the
Athenian state (lines 1-11), together with a rider to the decree (lines 11ff.), by which an enclosure for the
hieron of Kodros, Neleus, and Basile is authorized, together with the lease of the temenos Kar&a Tras vv-
ypacaSg (lines 4-5). The moneys from the lease are to be employed for the building works (lines 8-9). The
Archon Basileus is instructedto see to the leasing of the temenos (lines 6-7); in the rider he is joined by the
poletai, and the temenosis identifiedas that of Neleus and Basile. The lease is to be for 20 years, and the rent
is to be paid each year in the ninth prytany to the apodektai, who are to transfer the funds to the Treasurers of
the Other Gods Kara rov v6o'ov. The Archon Basileus is instructed to have the names of the tenant and of his
guarantorsinscribedon the wall (of the temenos?),and the Secretaryto the Boule is to have the decreeitself
inscribed and set up in the Neleion (summary of lines 11-28). There follow more detailed terms and condi-
tions of the lease: the tenant is to construct the enclosure for the hieron of Kodros, Neleus, and Basile and is to

HISTORYOF THE LEASINGOF PUBLICLANDS 155
plant not less than two hundredolive trees in the temenos,more if he wishes, and is to have rights to the rain
water in the ditch;the extent of the ditch over which he is to have rights is carefullydefined(lines 29-38).
I have quotedthis decreeat some length becauseit is the first indicationof severalfeaturesof the leasing
of public propertythat later become quite commonand because it is also the first clear example of the state
acting as leasing agent for a public cult. The oavvypaaalthat are mentionedin the decreeand in the rider
(lines 5 and 31) are clearlydetailedinstructionsand specificationsfor the constructionof the enclosureof the
hieron, not the terms under which the temenosis to be leased. The vo4posunder which the apodektaireceive
and transferthe rent moneyto the Treasurersof the Other Gods (lines 15-18) is not so easily disposedof. At
first sight, it appears to be a law governingthe dispositionof sacredfunds;but what, then, is the law under
which the Archon Basileus the has inscribed names of the tenant and his guarantors(lines 23-25)? Is it the
same law? Or is it another law that governs the lease of public lands? I believe that the two laws are the
same, but the ambiguityis one of severaldifficultiesin the interpretationof this documentthat are causedby
poor draftingof the text. The moverof the decreeand of its rider,Adosios,was evidentlyaware of these diffi-
culties, but his rider actually createsmore problemsthan it solves.
If there was such a law by which the leasing of publiclyowned propertywas governed,it may well have
been of fairly recent origin. There seems to have been a preoccupationwith the financing,administration,
and boundariesof sanctuariesat about this time, perhaps reflectingthe unsettledconditionsof the Archida-
mian War and the subsequentinflux of people into Athens.27The presentdocument,in fact, providessome
of this evidence. Lines 7-8 include instructionsto the horistai, who are to establish the boundariesof the
sanctuaryso that the enclosuremay be correctlyplaced, and this measure, I believe, implies that confusion
had arisen over its extent, which the new enclosurewas designedto eliminate.
Our next example,28dated between 410 and 404 B.C., is not an enabling decree or lease recordbut a
decree dealing with various kinds of tax, perhaps in land overseas controlledby Athens (line 9 refers to
apoikiai and klerouchiai,for instance):among the items to be taxed are leases of land, houses, and other real
estate(lines 5-6), but it is unclear whether these are public or privateleases.29
At some time between 430 and 400 B.C., the deme of Plotheia passed a decreeconcerningthe adminis-
tration of the deme'srevenues;30these includedfunds derivedfrom rent of real propertyowned by the deme
(line 10). The moneys derivedfrom these leases (lines 22-25) and from interestearnedon the deme'sfunds
were to be used for the religious affairs of the deme.
The last datedlease recordof the 5th centuryis anotheraccountingrecordfrom Eleusis:31in 408/7 B.C.
the income of the epistatai of the Sanctuaryof the Eleusinian Gods includedthe rent paid for a temenosin
Kythnos (line 147). There is no indicationof the terms or conditionsof this lease.
The lease recordsof the 5th century, pcan and
sparse
fragmentary
areury, though they be groupedinto four
out of the five categoriesinto which fall the lease recordsof later times from Attica and the territoriesunder
Athenian control. The propertiesinvolved are cleruchies,to which Athens apparentlyretained legal title;
propertiestaken over from tributary allies or subjectstates; propertiesowned by cults and sanctuaries,in
Attica or elsewhere;and the propertyof lesser politicalorganizations,such as demes.Only the fifth category
is absent, propertiesowned by semipublicorganizationssuch as phratriai,gene, and orgeones.It is notable
that, except for the cleruchies,all these propertiesseem to have had religious significance,and this is equally
true of the much more ample recordsof the 4th century:the revenuesfrom these leases are often specifically
tied to a particularcult or festival.

Taxes, of course,could be levied on either public or privateleases and paid by the tenant, unless he was grantedspecificexemp-
tion by the lessor, who then became responsible.What may be envisagedin IG I3, 237 is a "mixed"colony made up partly of cler-

One more fragmentarylease, apparently granted by a phyle (IG I3, 252, lines 7-19), may be dated
either to the late 5th or to the early 4th century.
In the 4th century the number of lease recordsinreasin es dramatically,especially aroundthe middle of
the century:as well as the extensiveseries of mine leases (see Langdon,pp. 60-62 above),there are records
in all the categoriesdescribed above, and the number of leases granted by political organizationsis much
increased.Leases grantedby semipublicreligious corporationsalso becomemore and more common.
The earliest 4th-centuryexamples of lease recordsare found in the accounts the of the Delian amphikty-
ones (IG I3, 1633A, lines 1-19; 1634, line 8), which are similar to, but less detailed than, those of the
5th century.32In 387/6 B.C. Athens once again establisheda cleruchyon Lemnos,and a fragmentarydecree
survives (L3)33in which the activities of the cleruchs are defined:they are restrained,as had been their
predecessorson the island of Salamis,34from leasing out the whole or part of their holdings, except under
certainconditions.The restrictiveclausesappearto be similar to, but ratherfuller than, those of IG I3, 1, but
the fragmentarynature of the text makes restorationdifficult.
The accountsof the Delian amphiktyonescontinue through the middle of the century:35these vary in
the amountof informationthat they provideregardingindividualleases, but there is a tendencyfor them to
becomemore detailed and to describeindividual leases, rather than merely give a block total, as time goes
on;36this developmentperhaps reflects practicesin other areas of public leasing, such as the mine leases,
which were carefullydetailedby the early 360's on (passim, P5-P51, pp. 76-137 above).
It appears that questions about the ownership and extent of public property were now being raised
more often by the members of religious and political organizations.In 363/2 B.C. the Salaminioi of the
Heptaphylai and the Salaminioi from Sounion were in dispute over the ownership of sanctuariesand real
property and the control of festivals (L4, line 24).37 This dispute was settled by arbitration.Among the
dispositionof
points discussedwas thispoition of rents

theon
received on properties belongingto
propertiesbelonging to the Salaminioi and leased
out. These properties were to continue to be leased until the terms of their lease expired (lines 58-61),
and the revenuesfromthem were to be dividedequally betweenthe two branchesof the Salaminioiand used
for the maintenanceof sacrificesand festivals.What was to be done with these propertiesafter the terms of
their leases expired is not made clear.
Beforeand aroundthe middleof the centurythe numberof lease recordsissuedby politicaland religious
groups increased.One such is the lengthy and complex decreeof the state (IGII2, 204) by which the boun-
daries of the SacredOrgas of the Eleusinian Gods were fixed, datedto 352/1 B.C. Evidentlyencroachments
had occurred,and the authoritieswere concernedto re-establishthe boundariessecurelyand to decidethere-
after what to do with the land;they determined,in fact, to send a delegationto Delphi to ask the god Apollo
what to do:whetheror not the SacredOrgas was to be leasedout by the ArchonBasileus and the revenuesso
raised to be used for the constructionof a porticoand the repair of the hieron of the Eleusinion in the City
(lines 12-30). A commissionof fifteen men was appointedto determinethe boundariesof the SacredOrgas
(lines 5-10 and 74-84).
Documentsissued at about this time by political bodies include a decreeof the trittys of Epakreis,38by
which a chorionon the Mesogeia was leasedout; the rent may have been destinedfor religiouspurposes,but
the fragmentarynatureof this documentmakesrestorationimpossible.Also at about the same datethe deme
of Teithras issuedtwo decreesunderthe termsof which the KOLVaof the demewere to be leasedout to private

(p. 259) commentsthat by 375/4 B.C.the Delian and Rheneian leases were synchronizedand all new leases were there-
after issued simultaneously.This fact, I believe, provides some indicationthat by 375/4 B.C. the propertiesadministeredby the
Delian amphiktyoneswere subjectto a uniform set of regulationsor law, perhapsone specificallydesignedfor Delos, or, perhaps,
one governingall state-administeredleases.

individuals.The first of these39includes an elaborateseries of topographicalreferencesby which the prop-

erty in question was defined (lines 8-11), as well as all the terms of the lease, which was to be in perpetuity
(line 12). The tenant was to pay the rent each year and to pay any eisphorai that might be demanded of him,
as well as normal taxes (lines 29-33). The tenant-designate was praised for his services to the deme (lines
5-7); this seems to indicate that his tenancy was designed, in fact, as a kind of liturgy, not necessarily provid-
ing him with adequate returns on his outlay but ensuring a regular income for the deme. The moneys thus
realized were not tied to any specificpurpose:rather, they were designedso that the demesmenof Teithras
E?83oil ra v7apXovra Kat ra '7rpoolovTa (lines 2-3). In other words, the tenant undertook to pay, in the form
of rent, a sort of annuity to the deme. The second decree of this deme from this period (SEG XXIV, 152)
may well have been similarly motivatedbut is very much simpler in form: it merely lists three leasehold
properties and their tenants, without any indication of the terms and conditions.
Other demes, too, recordedon stone at this time leases granted to individuals,probablywith similar
motivations to those affecting the demesmen of Teithras. We possess examples from Acharnai (L5),4? from
Prasiai,41 from Aixone,42 from Rhamnous,43 and from Eleusis,44 all dated between 350 and 330 B.C. Some of
these are very detailed,for instance,the decreefrom Rhamnousjust mentioned,which in fact representsone
of the few instances in which we can trace the history of a lease over two accounting periods. Two properties
are involved (lines 3-41 and 42-94), one of which is describedas having been farmedby anotherman than
the presenttenant (lines 5-6). Since the tenancyof the new lease was to standfor ten years, from 339/8 B.C.,
it is likely that the earlier lease had a similar term; we can thus trace the history of this property back to
349/8 B.C. Detailed instructionsare given to the new tenant as to what he may or may not do with the land
(lines 15-31); since the tenancywill expire after ten years and the propertyis evidentlya valuableone, such
care in defining what is to be done with it is understandable. Other provisions of the lease involve the settle-
ment of disputes, lodging of an apotimema,care and upkeep of a building, and so on (lines 32-41), and the
secondlease is similarly closely defined(lines 42-94). The decreeends with provisionsfor sacrificeto Apollo
Lykeios (lines 95ff.). Jameson, who has most recently edited this document and new fragments of it (footnote
43 above), suggests that the lessors are not the authoritiesof the deme of Rhamnous but a small group of
wealthy individualsconstitutinga meros.The previoustenant, and also the future tenant,may have been, in
fact, members of this meros, which acted, in effect, as a group of liturgists on behalf of the deme. The deme,
through its wealthier members, obtained the wherewithal to carry on a specific religious activity, as well as
ensuring the upkeep of one of its more valuable assets.
Jameson compares45 the extremely detailed conditions of these two leases from Rhamnous (which can
be matched, though with less elaboration, in the lease from Aixone46) with another extremely detailed lease
of a temenos on the island of Amorgos, which, he believes, may reflect the influence of the agricultural
theorist and AtthidographerAndrotion,who acted as Athenian Governorof Amorgosat the time when this
lease was drawn up:47some of its terminologyand provisionsmay derive from Androtion'swork Georgika,

describedby Jacoby as a "shorttreatise in one book designed apparentlyfor the practicaluse of the Attic
farmer."
Another lease (SEG XXVIII, 103), dated to 333/2 B.C., indicatesanothermethodby which a wealthy
benefactormight assist his deme. In this case, the deme of Eleusis decidedto lease out the use of a quarryto
the highest bidder (lines 21-24) and to use the money so obtainedfor the festivalof Herakles in Akris (lines
31-34). The successfulbidderwas granteda five-yearlease, in additionto which he made an outrightgift of
money to the god (lines 6-9). He was, however, constrainedunder the terms of the decree to furnish two
guarantorswho would swear to ensure paymentof the rent at the propertime (lines 29-30).
The provisionof a regular income with which to carry on religious activitieswas very likely the major
functionof leases by religiousorganizationsas well. To the same periodas the deme decreesdiscussedabove
belong several leases issued by such religious organizations:the meritai of the Kytherioi,who leased out a
workshop, house, and little dung-house in Peiraieus in perpetuity in return for a regular income,48the
orgeonesof Bendis,who seem to have leasedout their cult buildingin returnfor its upkeep,on conditionthat
they were permitted access for cult purposes,49and the orgeones of the Heros [latros], who leased out a
gardenin 333/2 B.C.for 30 years, permittingthe tenant to build a house on the propertyand to removefrom
it at the expiry of his tenancythe roof tiles and timber that he had put into it (SEG XXIV, 203). Bulk rec-
ords of leases, similar to those of the sanctuariesof Apollo Delios and of the Eleusinian Gods,5?0 become
increasinglycommonaroundand after the middleof the 4th century.These bulk recordswere issued by the
Athenian state, acting as leasing agent for a variety of cults of which that of Athena Polias was the most
important.The motivationfor such bulk leasing is unclear:we do not know whetherthe leases recordedhere
were new venturesor merelythe gatheringof many existing leases into one basket.The systemis, of course,
very similar to that employed from the early 360's by the poletai for the recordingof leases of state-owned
mines and sales of confiscatedproperties, and it is possible that the poletai, together with the Archon
Basileus, were responsible for this system of leases of real property as well, as they had been in the 5th
century51and continuedto be on at least one occasionas late as the 330's (L7). In these bulk recordsa series
of leases is listed. The owner of the propertiesmay be a single cult or sanctuary,or there may be several
owners; in each case, such ownership is indicatedby the heading of the stele, in the case of a single owner
(L9, line 1), or by a general headingfollowedby sub-headingsthroughoutthe text, when severalowners are
involved(L6, lines 2-3 and passim). The leased propertiesthemselvesare describedbriefly,with the names
of the tenants and their guarantorsand the amount of the rent for each property.The terms and conditions
are not listed, and it must be assumedthat these were recordedelsewhereor definedby a general law of the
kind that I have suggestedwas in force at the time that IG I3, 84 was put into effect.52
The earliest such bulk recordmay date to the 5th century(L2). From the 4th centurycomesthe record
of the lease of propertieson Salamis,53perhaps a recordof propertiesowned by the state ratherthan of cult
properties,and those of 343/2 B.C. (L6),54ofca. 338-326 B.C. (L9-L12),55 and of the late 4th or early 3rd
centuryB.C. (L14 and L15),56all, perhaps, parts of the same series of leases of cult propertiesfor which the
state actedas leasing agent.
The deme of Acharnaiprovidesthe earliest examples of a political body acting as tenant ratherthan as
lessor. Around the middle of the 4th centurythe deme rented land in perpetuityfrom several private indi-
viduals living in Acharnai or in neighboringdemes, in order to obtain a right-of-way for an aqueduct.57

There is no earlier inscriptionalevidence,but it is quite possiblethat the state and other politicalbodieshad
enteredinto similar perpetualleases as early as the 6th centuryB.C. in orderto acquirerights-of-wayor land
for public purposes.58
We have already seen a 5th-centuryexample of a propertyleased by a cult,59althoughthe propertyin
question was secular rather than religious in character.It is possible that other cults, particularlythose of
foreign origin, may have entered into similar leasing arrangements,especially at the beginning of their
history; the grants of enktesis to the Thracian worshippers of Bendis (IG II2, 1283, a decree of the 3rd
century, whose lines 4-7 refer back to the original grant of enktesis, dated shortly before 429/8 B.C.), the
Egyptian worshippersof Isis (IG 112,337, 333/2 B.C.), and the Cypriotworshippersof Aphrodite(referred
to in IG 12, 337, lines 42-45, and thus dated shortly before333/2 B.C.) permittedthese cults to own, rather
befortly
than lease, land, but they may have leased land until the grants of enktesiswere made to them.60There is a
slight possibility that L16, a lease of the late 2nd or early 1st centuryB.C., is an example of a cult (that of
Bendis and Deloptis) leasing propertyfrom the state, but, so far as this documentcan be restored,the lan-
guage suggests in fact the reverse.Phylai, as well as demes and trittyes,could own propertyand often leased
it out fprofit: or the 330'sthere

These phylai had beenjointly allotted land on the frontierbetween Oroposand Attica, when the territoryof
Oropos was ceded to Athens in 338 B.C. Encroachmentshad occurred,both by tenants and by non-leasing
neighbors,in land that was hilly and difficultto survey. All propertiesin the area were surveyedand their
boundariesrecordedupon the stele, including recordsof leasing whereverthis had occurred;copies of this
recordmay have been set up in theech of the phylai concerned.61

Apart from the bulk leases mentioned earlier, the state also granted individualleases of state- or cult-
owned property. By a decree of the state, dated between 338 and 330 B.C. (L7),62sacredland probablyre-
theto it ofthe territoryof Oroposwas also leased out, the
cently acquiredby Athens as the tesuloofof territorycession
cession
moneys accruing from the rents to be used for the celebration of the Lesser Panathenaia (lines 4-11). The
officerschargedwith letting out the property,which was dividedinto two parcels and leased to the highest
bidder, were the poletai (lines 11-12). The decree is one of those measures initiated by associatesof the
statesmanLykourgosduring his own
ahis is predecessorEuboulos'administrationsby which the religious
and financialadministrationof the state was reformedand put on a firm footing.63The bulk leases referred
to above (L6, L9-L12, L14, L15) probablyrepresentanotheraspectof these reforms,dealingas they do with
the leases of cult propertiesfor which the state acted as leasing agent.
Three other possible individual leases apparentlygranted by the state aeat about this time are too frag-
mentaryto permit coherentrestoration.64A more completeexample of a lease grantedby the state is dateda
little after 336/5 B.C.65 Its terminology suggests that this is a grant of a lease of a mine, rather than of some
other kind of property.
Just beforethe deathof Alexanderthe Great anothertype of lease of public propertyis found.The deme
of Peiraieus in 324/3 B.C. passed a decreeby which a group of contractorswas granteda lease of the princi-
pal theater in Peiraieus (L13):66in return for carrying out repairs and extensions to the theater, the con-
tractorswere given the right to collect and to use for their own purposes the entry fees paid by spectators
(lines 9-16). Such "performanceleases"may have been quite common,but this is the only undoubtedexam-
ple to survive.The contractorsreally undertook,as it were, a liturgy, for which the gate money is unlikely to

have recompensedthem in full: I have mentionedabove similar cases in which the personsacting as leasing
agents for the deme or other organizationare themselvesamong the tenants, as Jameson has recentlysug-
gested.67It is perhapsa natural extensionof the systemof liturgiesand of the practiceof farmingout taxes.
The deme of Peiraieus was also responsiblein 321/0 B.C. (IG II2, 2498) for the leases of severaltemene
owned by the deme,which seemto havebeen let for a termof ten years.The provisionsof theseleasesincluded
the lodgingof securities(apotimemata),guarantors,exemptionfromtaxes and eisphorai,prohibitionsagainst
removalof mud, earth, and timber,fixed dates for paymentof installmentsof rent, and restrictionson the use
of the land.
After the death of Alexanderthe Great the numberof lease recordsdeclinessharply.This fact is proba-
bly a reflectionof the confusedpolitical situationover the ensuing half-century.All categoriesof lease record
appear, however,except those revealedby temple accounts.68

There are three examplesof late 4th- or early 3rd-centurybulk records(L14a and L14b; L15): leases of
sacred properties granted by the state actingan asagent for their owners. As such, they may represent the
continuation of the series from 343/2 and 333/2 B.C.69
In 306/5 B.C. the orgeones of Egretes,70and in th telate4th century thet orgeones of Hypodektes,71
granted leases by which, in return for the use of the hieron, the tenant paid rent to the orgeones,allowed
them access for cult purposes,and was subjectto certainrestrictionsand conditionsas well as being granted
concessions.Thes we clearly efforts on the part of the orgeonesto obtain a regular source of funds for
the continuationof their cult, and the tenantsin each case were probablymembersof the same group, so that
the leases were, in effect, liturgies.72
There are two more examplesof documentsissuedby demeslate in the 4th century.One is too fragmen-
tary to permit restoration;73 the other is an agreemententeredinto by the demes of Thria and Eleusis,74by
which the deme of Eleusis takes out a lease for ten years on a synoikia (probablya market building with
separatestalls for merchants)in the agora of the Thriasians (lines 2-3). As in many other lease agreements
enteredinto by demes, thettext is quite elaborate,with many terms, conditions,and restrictions,but is too
fragmentaryfor the most part to permit coherentrestoration.The documentincludesan inventoryof equip-
ment. This is the only survivingexample of the lease by one politicalbodyof a propertybelongingto another.
The firsthalf of the 3rd centuryprovidesfurtherexamplesof leases grantedby politicalbodies.The first
is a lease grantedby the deme of Prasiai75involvinga penalty clause in the event of non-paymentof the rent
(lines 4-11), as well as a war-damageclause (lines 11-16). It also includesan inventoryof equipment(lines
16-27). There are two fragmentaryleases issued by phylai. The phyle of Erechtheisgranteda lease in which

systeminitiatedby theAthenianamphiktyones:

Centesimarum(IGII2, 1594-1603+) might representcontinuation,in a differentform, of the series L6 and L9-L12 but noted in
1984 ("PartV" [footnote1 above, p. 149], p. 361, note 2) that this speculationshould be abandonedor at least modified.Osborne
([footnote6 above, p. 58], pp. 56-59) has now made the plausible suggestionthat the Rationes Centesimarumactually should be
regardedas recordsof leases ratherthan of sales of land. If he is correctin this view, then my suggestionof 1983 may be valid after
all. See also Osborne,"Socialand EconomicImplications,"p. 284. Since, however,the bulk of the fragmentsof the Rationes Cente-
simarumderivefrom finds on the Akropolis,ratherthan from the Agora, I have thought it best to omit them from discussionhere.

To 300/299 B.C.belongsthe lease recordby which the phratriaof the Dyaleis enteredinto an agreement
to lease its koinon at Myrrhinous.80The tenant was constrainedby an elaborateseries of conditionsunder
which he was to farm the propertyand care for its buildings (lines 19-25), and specificdateswere set for the
payment of the rent, together with penalties for non-payment (lines 25-41). He was also exempted from
taxes on the propertyand protectedagainst losses by enemy actionor from any other cause (lines 14-16). By
a clause unique in this series of lease recordsthe tenant was also given the option to purchasethe property
outright at any time during the term of his lease (lines 41-54): the rent was 600 drachmasa year, for ten
years, but the tenant was permittedto buy the propertyfor 5,000 drachmasand any unpaidrent. The lessors
thus obtained a steady
source of income for ten years and, in addition, had the chance of convertingtheir
propertyinto cash, which presumablycould then be lent outintat erest. Whether this was a wise courseto
take in the unsettled conditionsof the 3rd centuryis, of course, a moot point, but the owners may have felt
that cash in hand was safer than a countrypropertysubjectto natural disastersor to enemy action.81
To the latterthe
part of the 3rd centurybelongs the result of a dispute amongstthe membersof a group of
orgeones.82It appearsthat certainmembersof the cult had treatedits propertyas their own and had sold it,
hypothecatedit as security for a loan, or leased it out to their own advantage. Perhaps the origin of the
disputewas an earlier tenancyby a liturgist, who then misappropriatedthe property.In any case, the result
of the settlementwas a prohibitionupon the selling, hypothecation,or lease of cult propertyexcept for the
purposeof carryingon the cult.
Three other fragmentarylease recordssurvive from late in the 3rd century.83They are possibly deme
decreesbut are too fragmentaryto permit restoration.
Our last recordof leasing of public propertybeforethe Roman era is a tantalizingfragmentof a decree
of the orgeonesof Bendis and Deloptis (L16)84datedlate in the 2nd or early in the 1st centuryB.C. It appears
to be an agreementon the part of the orgeonesto lease out part of their propertyto the Athenian state, al-
though too little survivesfor coherentrestorationto be possible. I have alreadymentionedthe possibilitythat
this may, instead, be an agreement
the on the part of the state
leaseagreement to
property to the orgeones.85
To the early Imperial era belongs a document concernedwith the repair and upkeep of sanctuaries
throughoutAttica.86Among its provisionsis a clause (lines 16-20) by which leases of sacredpropertiesare to
be recorded.It appearsthat encroachmentshad occurredat varioustimes, and the authoritieswere now con-
cernedto establish once again the boundariesof sacredpropertiesthroughoutAttica and to determinewhat
was leased and what was not. The encroachmentsand misappropriationsof the sacredtemenehad probably
occurredduring the unsettledyears after the dictatorshipof Sulla and beforethe establishmentof Augustus'
principate.The most recent editor of this document87suggeststhat the occasionfor the promulgationof the

TERMS OF LEASES: DATES OF INCEPTION AND PAYMENT

By late in the 4th century publicly owned temene were being leased out for periodsof ten years, and their
rents were payable in the ninth prytany of each year. Thus there was probablya set time in each year at
which such leases were granted,or, at least, there was an officialinceptiondate, regardlessof the actual one
(Ath. Pol. 47.2).
Is there any evidenceto suggest that this state of affairs was of fairly recentorigin? In the earliestexam-
ple of an enabling decreefor a lease of public property,that of 418/17 B.C.by which the temenosof Neleus
and Basile was leased out,89we find that this temenoswas to be let for a periodof 20 years (lines 13 and 37).
Payment of the rent, however, was to be made each year in the ninth prytany (line 16), and the apodektai
were chargedwith receivingand disposingof this rent,just as they were chargedaccordingto the termscited
in the AthenaionPoliteia (47.2). The implicationof this text, I believe, is that the system describedin the
AthenaionPoliteia was not a new dispositionbut one already in effect in the later 5th century.The differ-
ence in the term of the lease of 418/17 may be accountedfor by another conditionthat is laid down in the
decree (lines 33-34), by which the tenant is instructedto plant not less than two hundredolive trees in the
temenos. The usual term of ten years would hardly suffice for these trees to mature and bear fruit, thus
assuringsome returnfor the tenant upon his investment;therefore,the lease was extended.This samedecree
also mentionsa vo4os (line 25) by the terms of which the Archon Basileus was to publish the names of the
tenant and of his guarantors,as well as the amountof rent to be paid. The same law, I believe, also governs
the mechanismof paymentof the rent.90
Anotherlease of public property91has a term of 25 years.This also seems, however,to be an exceptional
case, in this instance,the lease of a mine to be developedjointly by the tenant and the state, with the profits
accruingin alternateyears to each of the parties.The tenant, therefore,neededa longertime than was usual
in order to realize upon his investment(the mine, too, may have been a more speculativeventure than the
usual run of mines, perhaps in an area that had not hithertoshown any signs of holding workableores).
The only other case before the time that the AthenaionPoliteia was compiled in which we know the
term of a lease of public propertyis that of the sacredlands, probablyin the Oropia and known as the Nea
(L7). This propertywas let out for a term of ten years. The date of paymentof the rent is not stated in the
decreebut is likely to have been the ninth prytanyof each year, since the date of this documentis so close to
that of the AthenaionPoliteia.
Thus, unless the characterof the propertybeing leased requiredan exceptionalterm in orderto allow
the tenant to realize somethingon his investment,there is no evidenceto suggest that, after 418/17 at least,
leases grantedby the state had terms other than ten years. Indeed,there is some evidenceto suggestthat this

tion of this decreeas a mining concession"to be "dubious"(J. F. Healey, Mining and Metallurgyin the Greekand Roman World,
London 1978, p. 104), but no better suggestionhas been made.
CONDITIONS OF THE LEASES 163
ten-yearterm was customaryeven earlier. In 434/3 B.C. the first survivingaccountsof the Delian amphikty-
ones indicate that propertieson Delos (and in subsequent years, on Rheneia as well) were leased out for
terms of ten years.92 Both sets of accounts are repeated in 410/09 B.C.,93 with the same terms. Thus it is clear
that the normalterm of such leases was ten years, even though the datesof inceptionof the leases might have
varied during the period of Athenian dominationover Delos and Rheneia in the 5th century;the dates of
payment might also have varied, although I am inclined to doubt this. Kent infers from this evidencethat
there were 'no general laws or set of regulationsthat applied to all estates alike"governingthe leases of the
Delos and Rheneia properties,94 but, in my view, since the Delian amphiktyones were, in effect, officers of
the state, their actions with regard to leases are likely to have been governed by the same code of practice as
that which governed the state's officers elsewhere, perhaps even by a vou/os such as that mentioned in the
decreeof 418/17 B.C.95

In the bulk recordof leases of sacredpropertiesgrantedby the state ca. 338-326 B.C., the postscriptto
the second stele (L10, Face B, lines 35-39) states that the final leases in this record were granted after all the
rest but were to have the same date for paymentof the rent as the othersrecordedupon this stele. This date is
not found in any of the survivingfragments,and it must be assumedthat it was set out in the enablingdecree
that governedthe entire series.96Given the date of this series and the fact that the entire documentdeals with
leases of sacredproperties,it is likely that the lease in every case was for ten years, and that all the formal
inception dates, as well as the payment dates, were the same.
If we employ the leases of state-owned mines as an analogy, we find that in the early years of the system
mines were leased out perhaps in every prytany of the year; by the 340's and 330's, however, it had become the
practice for these mine leases to be registered at the beginning of the civil year, probably on the first business
day of the first month.97 I think it highly likely that the same procedure was followed in the case of leases of
sacred and public property and that, by the 340's at least, the formal inception date for all such leases was the
first business day of the civil year. Leases granted by cults in Attica or by political and religious groups varied
as to term, dates for payment of the rent, and dates of inception:98 clearly there was no set practice, but as time
went on these bodiestoo seem to have come closerto the proceduresfollowedby the state.99
CONDITIONS OF THE LEASES

Neither in the bulk recordsnor in the accountsof the Eleusinian Sanctuaryand those of the Delian am-
phiktyones are any conditions stated. It can be inferred, however, that for leases granted by the state, and
probably for those granted by the authorities of the Delian and the Eleusinian sanctuaries as well, all tenants
had to furnish guarantors,one guarantorfor leases involvingrents under 600 drachmas,two for rents over
600 and under 1200 drachmas, and so on.100 In the case of state-granted leases, these guarantors were
always Athenian citizens.101 Other conditions must have been laid down, but the surviving enabling decrees
provide very little evidence for the range of conditions that might have applied.

footnote 23 above, p. 154) all seem to be ten-year leases. Some leases specify one installment of rent each year (IG II2, 2492;

Individualleases probablywere governedby lease contracts,of the sort that we see mentionedin the
accountsof the Delian amphiktyonesin the 430's;1?2there may also, as I have suggestedabove,103have been
a general law, but this is hardly likely to have laid down individual conditions. The earliest surviving
enabling decreeof the state (LI) is too fragmentaryto allow much restorationof the conditionslaid down in
this lease. There is mention of regulationsor written agreements(line 3), of an inception date (line 5), of
money, presumablythe rent (lines 6 and 13), and of repayment(line 14?). The decreedeals with an indi-
vidual lease, not with a general class of leases, and since the survivingfragmentsseem to derive from an
amendment,or even from an amendmentto an amendment,it may be assumed that other conditionswere
laid down in the missing portionsof the document.
The complete enabling decree mentionedearlier,104by which the temenos of Neleus and Basile was
leased out, included,in additionto the term and dates for paymentof the rent, clauses directingthe tenant's
use of the property.He was to plant not less than two hundredolive trees, moreif he wished;he had rights to
rain water in part of a ditch;and he could use mud from the temenos in constructingthe enclosurefor the
hieron of Kodros, Neleus, and Basile. In addition,the decreementions arvvypabaltwice (lines 5 and 31):
the juxtapositionof this word with instructionsfor leasing out the temenos (lines 4-5: e?px-aLTOrhLepovTO
TOrreTleVogxarTa ra orvvypa4xs) leaves the impression
Kobpo KaLrO NeA'os KaLrTE Bao-Aes K[a]ll&trO8O-aL
that these(rvvypaofal may not be merelythe specificationsfor the enclosureof the hieron but also a separate
lease contract.'05IG I3, 84 is the only completeexample of an enabling decreeof the state to survive,either
from the 5th centuryor from later periods.Other such decreesare too fragmentaryto permit us to form an
accuratepictureof the sort of conditionsthat might have been includedin leases grantedby the state,106and
we have to turn to leases grantedby political and religious bodiesin orderto gain some idea of the range of
conditions,restrictions,and concessionsthat such leases might include. Even these documents,however,are
less full than we might expect, and it must be assumedthat leases grantedby political and religious bodies,
too, were governed,in many cases, by separatelease contractswhich have not survived.107
What we find in the epigraphicrecord,aboveall, are provisionsfor the use and upkeepof the properties
being leased.'08This is especially true of the period after the middle of the 4th century, where the largest
numberof such documentsis found. I have commentedearlier, followingJameson,109on the concernfor the
care and protectionof the land that is expressedin the ideas of the AtthidographerAndrotion,whose treatise
Georgikaappearedat aboutthis time. We may expect that the avvypaai governingleases grantedby the
state expresseda similar concern.110
I have mentionedabove" the requirementthat prospectie tenantsshould furnish guarantorsfor their
leases. Similar requirementsoccur in leases grantedby political and religious organizations,but, of course,
such bodies had less chanceof forcinga guarantorto make good on a defaultingtenant'sobligations,so that
they were compelledto rely upon other means of security,such as apotimemata,for their protection.112The
state, with its wider range of powers, is unlikely to have requiredsuch protectionin additionto the guaran-
tors that it demanded. 113

RESTRICTIONS ON LEASING 165
Other features of leases granted by political or religious organizationswhich might be expected to be

found also in the contracts governing leases granted by the state are such items as provisions concerning
liability for, or exemption from, eisphorai and taxes,'14 crops and their collection, distribution, or sale,115
water rights, 116 rights of inheritance,117 and damage by enemy action or from any other cause.118
RENEWALS
There is no explicit ban on renewals, either in leases granted by the state or in those granted by other bodies.
Indeed, since in some cases the enabling decree includes instructions that the property in question should be
leased to the highest bidder, 19 I think it very likely that when the term of a lease expired the outgoing tenant
was entitled to enter his bid, along with those of any otherswho might care to offer, and that the highest bid
among these securedthe lease. There is, however,some indicationthat this was not always the case, and that
the outgoing tenant was given priority, if he was preparedto accepta fixed increaseat the end of each term.
This evidence is provided by the record of leases granted by the authorities of the Sanctuary of Apollo Delios
after 314 B.C.,where renewals seem to have been permittedif the tenant accepteda ten percentincrease.120
At first sight, this provision would not appear to have any bearing upon Athenian practice, since the re-
newals in question date after the independenceof Delos; it has been argued with some plausibility by
Kent,121 however, that this practice was, in fact, taken over from the period of Athenian domination. It is
possible, therefore,that the Athenian state also allowed the tenants of public or sacredpropertiesto renew
their leases with a fixed increaseof ten percent,rather than open these leases to the highest bidder.If there
was a general law on public leasing, such a privilege would surely have been includedamongstits terms.122
RESTRICTIONS ON LEASING
There is no evidence that the state placed any limitation upon the amount of propertythat any one man
might lease, nor is there any indicationthat restrictionswere imposedupon meticsto preventtheir settlingin
particular districts. There is one case, from the 5th century (L2), in which sacred properties in land held by
the state abroad may have been leased out to Athenian metics as well as to
Athenian citizens and also, per-
haps, to natives. Cleruchies, while not, strictly speaking, leases of state property, seem to have been subject to
certain restrictions: the cleruchs were not permitted to lease out any part of their holdings to anyone else,
except, probably, to their kin.123 The reason for such a restriction, of course, lies in the military character
of the cleruchies.124 There is no real evidence that metics were prevented from residing in certain areas of
Attica, such as Sounion with its naval base, and, perhaps, frontier areas held to be strategically important
and not, therefore, to be settled by non-Athenians.125

ASSESSMENT OF THE RENT

So far as we can tell, the state relied upon the processof biddingin orderto arriveat a fair rent. Other organ-
izationsemployedthe same systemin some cases but also seem to have used differentmeansof assessmenton
other occasions.126An exceptionmay have been in the case of renewals, when, I have suggested(following
Kent),'27sitting tenants may have been permittedto renew at a fixed rate of ten percentabovethe previous
rent. There is some very slight indicationthat, if some other means than the high-bid systemwas employed,
the rent was calculatedas a fractionof the assessedvalue of the property,this fractionbeing based upon the
numberof years that the lease was to run.'28The real value and the assessedvalue might differ:in the case
just mentioned,the lessor was preparedto sell the propertyoutright for less than the assessedvalue (lines
42-44), but we do not know whether this was normal practice.129

"The [Archon]Basileus places [beforethe Boule]the leases of temene,listed upon whitenedboards.The lease
of these is also for ten years, and the installmentsare paid in the [ninth]prytanyof each year, so that in this
prytany the largest sum of revenues is collected. The records of the installments are then placed before the
Boule; after this, the public slave has charge of them. Whenever installmentsbecome due, this man takes
downfromthe shelvesandgivesto the Apodektaithoseon whichthe moneyis to be paidandthe debtcan-
celledon thatday.The restarekeptseparatelyso thattheymaynotbe cancelled[untilthe debtsarepaid].
Thereare ten Apodektai,one chosenby lot fromeachphyle.Thesementakethe recordsandcancelthose

andhe mustpaydoublethe amountin arrearsor be imprisoned: the Boulehasfull powersunderthelawsto
exact the money in such cases, or to imprison [the debtor]."
From the epigraphicdocumentsalready cited, we see that the poletai also were involvedin this process,at
least on two occasionsin the later 5th centuryI30and in the 330's B.C. (L7), and I have arguedthat the system
followed as early
as a430's
early 430's was essentially the same as that outlined in the Athenaion Politeia.3

HOROI OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF TITLE TO LEASEHOLD PROPERTIES 167
Registrationof the leases was, in Aristotle'stime at least, by the processdiscussedabove. The recordswere
kept on whitenedboards,with the names of the tenantsand the amountsand datesof the installmentsin such
a manner that individual installmentscould be markedas paid and the debt canceledon the due date each
year. One imagines some sort of dated filing system.132
In additionto the individualrecordskept on the whitened boardsin the care of the public slave, there
were also the bulk recordsthat were inscribedon stone;133these may have been set up near the officeof the
Archon Basileus, the Stoa Basileios.134Why it was felt necessaryto inscribethese bulk records,we do not
know: Langdon suggests that the recordsof mine leases issued by the poletai between the 360's and the end
of the 4th century were inscribedon stone in order to make them more accessiblethan were the individual
recordsin the office of the public slave; they might also have served as "the official accountsby which the
poletai underwenttheir e'vva,"135 although it is more likely that the whitened boardskept by the public
slaveewere used for this purpose. The lease recordsstart later than the mine records,and it is probablethat
their inscriptionon stone was done for reasons similar to those that motivatedthe inscriptionof the mine
leases136and in imitationof them.137
HOROI OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF TITLE TO LEASEHOLD PROPERTIES

The basic feature of a lease contractis that the lessor retains title to the property,even if the lease is a per-
petual one: failure on the part of the tenant to carryout the conditionsof the lease may result in his eviction
from the propertyand its reversionto the lessor.138
Propertiessubjectto private lease contracts,mortgages,conditionalsales, hypothecations,and so forth
were protectedby means of horoi,139and it is reasonableto assume that leaseholdpropertiesowned by the
state or by other public bodies were similarly protected,either by means of horoi or by the erectionof stelai
upon which were inscribedthe terms of the lease contractsor of the enabling decrees.There are, however,
few survivingexamples of such documents.
The earliest case of an enabling decree or lease contract serving as a horos is that of 418/17 B.C.140 The
temenos that was to be leased out was first surveyed and its boundaris marked by horoi, set up by the

Walbank, "PartIV" (footnote 1 above, p. 149), p. 226 and note 119.
135 See footnote27
above, p. 61.
136 The
5th-centuryrecordsare probablya differentcase, reflectingexceptionalcircumstancesratherthan normal practice.
137 It is
possible that the religious characterof the lease recordsand the diversityof the actual owners of the propertiesdescribed
providedan extra incentivefor their inscriptionand the erectionof the stelai by the Stoa Basileios,since the ArchonBasileuswas the
officerof the state most closely concernedwith religious affairs. On the motivesfor inscribingarchivalmaterialon stone, see Posner
(footnote 15 above, p. 153), pp. 97-101. On the place of erectionof these stelai, see footnote134 above. ProfessorH. A. Thompson
remarks(per ep.): "Sincesome of your stelai, I suppose,may have been of the multiple varietyset edge to edge, you mayjust possibly
have a claim on the sill for such a series that was re-used at some late date in the south foundationof the north porch of the Stoa
Basileios:Hesperia XL, 1971, p. 251, n. 18. The excavatorshave been inclinedto associatethis sill with the marblestelai bearingthe
revisedversionof the Laws of Solon, and that indeedmay be so. On the other hand all the fragmentsof those stelai found in ancient
contextshave come to light aroundthe SW cornerof the Agora, none near the Stoa Basileios. Hence I suspectthose stelai may have
been set up as soon as readyin or near the Bouleuterion,or may have been movedfromthe Stoa Basileiosto the Bouleuterionat some
later date. The Basileus apparentlykept near his officeonly those documentsthat he had to consultconstantlye.g. the revisedversion
of Drakon on homicideand your own leases."
138What happenedto lessors when the propertyof their tenants was confiscatedby the state? IG I3, 426 (P1, p. 70 above), lines
100-105, contains a reference to two leases that were canceled: za0'oarevhate K[aTre],8A0eroavrov arefiEaravro[v 7repi] TO

the grantorsof these leases were we do not know, nor whether the state took them over and leasedthem out again or merelyreturned
them to their original owners.
139See Fine, passim; Finley, pp. 4-6, 10-27, 177-181; Lalonde, pp. 18-21 above; and Attische Pachturkunden,pp. 52-53.
Propertiesthat were mortgagedor otherwise encumberedwere identifiedas such by means of horoi that carrieda summaryof the
terms of the mortgagesor other encumbrances.These horoi were set up on or in front of the propertiesin orderto make clear to all
that title was not entirely in the hands of the propertyholder. (Modern practiceis to registersuch encumbrancesin the land-registry
office.)

horistai (line 7). The Archon Basileus, after the lease was granted,was instructedto have the names of the
tenant and of his guarantorswritten up (on the wall of the temenos?) KarTarv v4OwOV (lines 24-25); this
phraseimplies that there was a law governingsuch mattersand that it includedprovisionfor the publication
of such informationas the names of the tenant and his guarantorsand the amountof the rent.141The decree
itself was also to be inscribedupon a stone stele to be set up in the Neleion 7rap atr Kpla(lines 26-28). The
propertywas thus trebly protected,perhapsbecauseof the unusual length of the lease.
In 352/1 B.C. the SacredOrgas of the Eleusinian Gods was surveyedand providedwith new horoi to
replace old ones that had fallen down (lines 7-10 and 74-75).142 Lines 24-30 of this decree are concerned
with the possibilityof leasing out the SacredOrgas, for which, in the eventof a lease being granted,the horoi
would serve as primaryevidenceof title, as in the case of the temenosof Neleus and Basilejust discussed.
Land seized by Athens overseasor in foreignterritory,such as that in Euboia in the 5th century'43or on
Lemnos in the 390's or 380's, was probablyprotectedfor the state in a similar fashion. In the case of Lem-
nos, we hear of lands classifiedas a&opr'p.ara,that is, markedoff by horoi:these may be sacredtemeneand
not necessarilyleased out.144
Leases grantedby other political or religious organizationswere quite often inscribedupon stone stelai
to be erectedon the site of the leaseholdproperties,thus serving,in effect, as horoi and evidenceof title. 45
An unusual reversalof this practiceis seen in the case of the rights-of-wayleased in perpetuityto the
deme of Acharnai for the constructionof an aqueduct.146The propertieson which the rights-of-waywere
leasedwere markedby horoi on which were inscribedthe terms of these leases. Since the leases were granted
in returnfor a one-timepaymentand were in perpetuity,they were not really leases at all but outrightsales.
The deme protectedits rights by means of these horoi, and title, in effect, passedto it ratherthan remaining
with the lessors. A somewhat similar arrangementis envisagedin the contractby which the phratryof the
Dyaleis offered its tenant an option to purchase the propertythat he leased from it:147if he exercisedhis
option, and abided by the other conditionsof the lease, he would be granteda orvvw3oAaov, a documentby
which title was transferredto him (line 51). This documentmight well have been similarin formto the horoi
by which the deme of Acharnaimarkedits title to the rights-of-wayfor its aqueduct,and it might have been
set up on the propertyin question.
LEASING OF PUBLIC LANDS DURING THE ROMAN ERA

The system of public leasing that has been discussedhere may have continuedin force even after the con-
stitutionalchangesof 103/2 and the incursionof Sulla in 86 B.C., but evidencefor it is extremelysparse.
A documentof Augustan date, IGII2, 1035,148 is concernedwith the repair and restorationof sanctu-
aries throughoutAttica. The Hoplite General is instructedto deal with this project(line 7) and to have a
recordmade (lines 18-20) of all leases of the temene belonging to these sanctuariesand of the properties
owned by the state. Culley, following Oliver, links a iussus Augusti of 27sB.C. with this decree.149By this
order,public and sacredpropertiesthat had been usurpedby privateindividualswere orderedto be restored
to the individualcity-states;the Atheniansseem to have respondedto this orderrelativelylate.'50

owners we do not know.

LEASINGOF PUBLICLANDS DURING THE ROMANERA 169
At about the same time as the promulgationof IG II2, 1035, Athens recoveredthroughthe generosityof
Julius Nikanor the island of Salamis, which it had lost aroundthe time of Sulla. Sacredpropertieson Sala-
mis are among those specificallymentionedin IG II2, 1035 (lines 31-39).151
Thus, early in the Imperial era, at least, the Athenian state was still involvedin the leasing of sacred
temene and other public properties, and although the recordswere confused,there was still a substantial
numberof such leaseholdpropertiesavailablein Attica and on Salamis.
At what point the state ceased to concern itself with such matters we do not know; nor do we know
anything at all about the propertyof other public, semipublic,or religiousbodies duringthe Roman era. As
in the case of earlier records,the absenceof any epigraphicevidencemay be merely an accidentof preserva-
tion, or, more likely, a consequenceof the availabilityin antiquityof other materialsfor such recordkeeping.

Raubitschekconjectured, from the spacing of the invocationof line 1, that the stele had space for lines of ca. 50 letters
below the heading of line 2. Line 2 must name the deity to whom these propertiesbelonged:the space available, of
course,permitsthe restoration['A6evaa]s, but, if Raubitschekis correct,there may have been a roundletter beforethe
final sigma of this name; in light of the spelling of Athena's name in line 4, too, such a restorationshould be rejected.
For line 9 see also W. Wallace, "The Demes of Eretria,"Hesperia 16, 1947, p. 133. In line 21, Raubitschekput for-
ward, but rejected,the readingEv "A'v[pol].For the context,cf. Aelian, VariaHistoria 6.1 ( = Agora III, no. 4, p. 21).

The text and its arrangementare those set out by Stroud.The line length is ca. 95-100, accordingto Stroud:this in-
validates earlier restorationsof fragmentsb and c made by Luria with a line of ca. 70-75, and I do not thereforecite
Luria's restorationsin the following list except where they may be useful for an understandingof the text.

Luria (pp. 132-133; see also Kadmos3, 1964, pp. 100-107) attemptedto restorefragmentsb and c by analogy with
IG I3, 1. Although his restorationsinvolvetoo short a line, it is possiblethat these two fragmentsdo, in fact, belong side
by side at the same level on the stele, although probably more widely separatedthan in Luria's restorations:thus,
provisions for the inscription of the names of the cleruchs by patronymicand ethnic (c, line 39) on a stone stele (b,
line 28: [bvcTrrTX\tXiL0]v[7,&]?)to be set up on the Akropolis (of Athens? b, line 29) would be followed perhaps by a
rider or by a new clause setting forth the duties of the cleruchsand their relationshipwith their holdings.The position
of fragmente on the stele, therefore,may be below that of fragmentsb and c.

such as e'rlAKXTroI (cf. Dittenberger,Syll.3, 353: Ephesos). The kappa of this word in line 22 is undoubted,unless it is a
mistake for a mu, from a word such as erIeX7)Tral, which seems much more likely in an Attic context.
If the findspotis correctlydescribedin the Agora Inventory,this documentis likely, as indeed line 4 suggests also,
to be a decree of the deme of Acharnai, since Menidi lies within the boundariesof the ancient deme of Acharnai (see
Traill, Hesperia, Suppl. XIV, p. 50 and Map 1, for the site). The date is providedby the letter forms,which are suit-
able to the middle or second quarter of the 4th century. Thus, the documentmay in some way be connectedwith the
series of leases of land to the deme Acharnai for the right-of-way of an aqueduct (IG II2, 2491; 2502; SEG XXIX,
181; 182; see Vanderpool (footnote 57 above, p. 158), all dated around, if not shortly after, the middle of the 4th cen-
tury B.C.

The date of this documentdependsupon the identificationof the propertyknown as the Nea (lines 8, 14, 15, 17,43):
Lewis thought that the space availablefor the name of the archonin line 2 permittedrestorationof the name of either
Pythodelos(336/5) or Euainetos(335/4), and Robertofferedconvincingargumentsfor placingthe Nea in the territory
of Oroposthat was cededto Athens by Philip II in 338/7 B.C.(Hypereides,4.16; Pausanias, 1.34.1). Thus, the date of
the documentis likely to be soon after 338/7 B.C.Langdonhas suggestedthat, in fact, the Nea was a newly risenvolcan-
ic island off Lemnos, "Nea"ratherthan "theNea".

Line 2: Langdonsuggestedthat the line couldbegin with the normalformula[e] [.. . ]L[... .. a]pXovr[os- -],
noting that althoughepigraphicalconsiderationspermitrestorationof the formula,a satisfactoryname remainselusive:
[e].r'L [pao-]t[KXi&'8ov a]pXovr[o9],for example, is too early at 371/0, while the abbreviateddemoticrequiredby [e]7r
.P[pvv][4Xov demotic a]pxovr[o9] (337/6) is not acceptable.Ameling offered as a possibility [e]&LO 'O[Avl]7.[Locopov
a]pov.r[ov]. Other restorations are [e]&rO[. ..]l[... 'ApL?]rIapXovI[- -], possiblynamingone of the phylarchs;or per-
haps an oratorformula,e.g., [B]6?O0[os e]T[w7r];cf. the phyle decreesIG II2, 1143, 1146, and 1147. Line 4:I1would read
rTaL[4]v\Xals,which Langdon rejects,seeing the secondsigma instead as "atau preservingboth strokesin a deformed
manner."Lines 4-5: Langdon sees [ev bvoZvor-TrXalt]e XOiva[tl] as an attractiverestoration.Line 18: Part of a name,
such as [Ip]ofev[ov], seems possible;Langdonwould read [A]ofev.
It seems clear that lines 1-9 containthe text of a decree,perhapsone that the phylai Aigeis and Aiantis, whose affairs
are the subjectof this document(line 10), have agreedto passjointly. Line 10 surelybeginsthe reportproper,with a list
of the names of the horistai, perhaps, in lines 11-16. The actual property-by-propertylisting begins at line 17: about
thirty propertiesare discussedin all. The evidenceof the letter formsappearsto supporta date in the 330's or 320's, as
do the few names that can be identified at all; it might be possible to restore the name of the archon Phrynichos
(337/6 B.C.,although with the unusual addition of a patronymicand demotic) in line 2, but Ameling has recently
pointed out that Oropos was again cededto Athens in 304 B.C.and remainedAthenian propertyuntil 287 B.C. (on the
evidenceof SEG III, 117, dated to 303/2 B.C.,which deals in part with a similar divisionof Oropianland amongAttic
phylai); he suggeststhat the occasionfor the decreewas the archonshipof Olympiodoros(294/3-293/2 B.C.). A date in
the 330's or 320's accordswell with the affair describedby Hypereides (4.16-17), in his speechin defenseof Euxenip-
pos: when Athens acquiredthe territoryof Oroposby gift of King Philip II of Macedon (Pausanias, 1.34.1) in 338 B.C.,
the land in the Oropia that was not sacredto Amphiaraoswas allottedto pairs of Attic phylai. The date of the speech
seems to be ca. 330-324 B.C., and this is like tot be the date of the present documentas well. In any case, it cannotbe
later than 319 B.C., since by that date Athens had once again lost controlof the Oropia (see Diodoros, 17.56.7). If the
phylai leased out the land allotted to them for a ten-year term, this documentmight be placed near the end of the first
ten-year term, in 328 or 327 B.C., when the number and nature of the disputes necessitateda thoroughrevisionof the
whole system. Osborne ("Socialand EconomicImplications,"p. 286 and note 22) suggeststhat this "inscriptionrepre-
sents the groundworkfor ... an apportionment,and that the tenantsreferredto are privatetenantsin existing occupa-
tion." If he is correct,the date would be close to 338 B.C.

This documentis dated by letter forms, as are L10, Lll, and L12, to the 330's or 320's; if, as I believe, L9-L12
representthe first decennialrevisionof the systemof leases of sacredpropertiesthat is representedby L6, the date will
be 333/2 B.c.

L10. A fragmentof pale, bluish gray Hymettian marble (E.M. 8694), found in 1834 on the Akropolis,west of the Par-
thenon. The left lateral and both inscribedfaces are preserved,as well as, perhaps,the bottomof the stele.

This stele was engravedby the same mason as he who engravedL9; thus, its date is likely to be the same as that of L9.

Line 11: Probablya name, either [-- ]vovs or [-- ]vovy[--]. Line 12 ayp[os] or ayp[ol] or, perhaps, tayp[tos];it is

This fragmentis of the same general date as L9, LO10, and Lll but is probablythe work of a differentmason,whose
preference it was to observesyllabic divisions at the ends of lines. If it belongs to the same series as those three texts, it
will have the same date as that suggestedfor them.

Stroudsuggested(p. 297) that the name of anotherperson,who is not includedamongthose honoredin lines 32-40,
shouldbe restoredin lines 7-8: this man was given the right to removetiles and lumberfromthe site. He may have been
mentionedin the missing upper part of this document.
The contract was to begin in the archonship of Hegesias (324/3 B.C.). Behrend (Attische Pachturkunden,p. 86,
note 171) suggestedthat the lease had been granted late in the previousyear, when the name of the incomingarchon
was already known, but Stroud pointed out (p. 298) that in the absence of the name of the month when either the
misthosisbegan or the first payment came due, it is equally possible that the decreeand the inceptiondate of the lease
both fell in 324/3 B.C.

L14. Two fragmentsof pale bluish marble, probablyHymettian, found at differentplaces and times.

Akropolis(V 24). It is brokenall aroundand at the back.

The two fragmentsmay derivefrom differentstelai but are clearlyof the same date:there are slight differencesin let-
ter formsand in abbreviations,but the systemof identifyingtenants and guarantorsby name and patronymic,followed
by a punctuationmark and then by an abbreviateddemotic,is preciselythe same on both fragments.They thus form
parts of a series, similar to L8(?), Lll, and L12, in which the informationregardingleases was recordedon several
stelai of the same date. They may well, indeed,be a continuationof the series comprisedby L8 (343/2 B.C.), Lll, and
L12 (333/2 B.C.?),but their letter formsindicatethat they representrevisionsof the systemtwo or threedecadesfurther
on, perhaps 303/2 or 293/2 B.C.

L15 (PI. 14). Fragmentof Hymettian marble (I 6007), found on June 3,1947, in a Byzantinecontextin the industrial
districteast of the Great Drain (C 19). It is brokenall around:the back,though flat, is probablynot original,in view of
the preservedthicknessof this stone.

This fragmentwas brought to my notice by G. V. Lalonde. The formulas suggest that this is a lease grantedby a

Lines 1-2 seem to have been cut by a differentand less skilled mason than he who engravedlines 3ff., which are
inscribedwith smaller,moreclosely spacedletters.Woodhead(per ep.) believes,however,that the same masonworked
on both parts of the document.The date dependsupon the assessmentof the lettering.
As lines 3ff. are restoredby Meritt, the obviousinterpretationis that the orgeonesof Bendisand Deloptis have leased
something to the Athenians. This interpretationcould be changed, however, if a different punctuation were to be
adopted:for instance,if we read [,lo']O6oo-av''AOrlvalo&s[b8 -- -], it would be possibleto interpretthis documentas a
recordof a lease enteredinto by the orgeonesfromthe Athenian State, and I am inclinedto view this as the more likely
interpretation,despite the unanimouscontraryopinion of my predecessors.
APPENDIX
In this section are gathered inscriptions from the Agora excavations that have sometimes been thought to be
lease records, or for which a case of sorts can be made for assigning them to this category.
LEGES SACRAE. DECREE OF THE DEME OF MELITE

ever, the checkerof P40 above, which is dated in 307/6 B.C., as well as some of the non-stoichedondocumentsof the
same general date. Too little survivesof this documentfor any convincingrestorationto be accomplished.

LA4 (PI. 15). Fragment of bluish, probably Hymettian marble (I 4602), picked up on March 9, 1937, on the north
slope of the Akropolis,near the Post-Herulian Wall (T 24-25). It is brokenall aroundand at the back.

The directionalabbreviation(line 2) suggeststhat this text is morelikely to be a poletai documentthan a lease record:
if so, its spacing and letter sizes are identicalwith those of the Kerameikosfragmentb of P21 above,and it may derive
from the same stele, which containeda list of confiscatedpropertiesof the period 360-350 B.C.
POLETAI RECORD: CONFISCATED PROPERTIES (IN THE DEME OF ARAPHEN?)

LA5 (PI. 15). A fragment of badly eroded, micaceous Pentelic marble (I 6245) showing signs of burning, found on
October 18, 1949, in a Byzantine contextjust southwest of the Agora Square (E 16). The stipple-dressedleft side is
preserved.The face has suffereddamage since the photographwas made, and considerablyless can be read now than
appears in the photograph.

The formula a[7re]ypaerv in line 10 indicatesthat this documentmust be a poletai record,either of mining leases
or of sales of confiscatedproperties. Since the location of some, at least, of these propertiesmay be the deme of Ara-
phen, far away from the mining districts,it is likely that it is a recordof sales of confiscatedproperties.The relatively
large interline suggests that this documentshould be dated towards the end of the 4th century;cf. for instance, P38
above.

This could be either a lease recordor a poletai document;there is no way of decidingwhich. Two propertiesseem to
be involved:the locationof each could be in Thorikos, in which case the documentcouldbe a recordof mining leases. If,
on the other hand, the location of these propertiesis the deme of Thorai, this documentis more likely to representa
recordof sales or leases.

course, by no means the only possibilities, but if [&a]e,y[pa*Ev] is correct,this document will be a recordof the sale

of heading, but this does not, of course, eliminate the possibility of its being a poletai document:see, for instance,the
headingof P2, p. 73 above, line 61, with the sub-heading[----o]i'KaL &sot 8ip[apxot &areypa4av].

Line 4 Ai"pL[wvco'ov] would also be possible. Two masons worked on this document, probably at two different
times:the secondwas considerablyless skilled (lines 6-7).
The documentresembles,in some respects,the 5th-centuryIG I3, 418 (L2 above),a recordof temene in Euboia that
belongedto Athens and were leased out, but there is no preciseparallel. In some respects,too, it resemblesa pupillary
apotimema(see, in particular,IG XII, suppl. 331 = Finley, no. 130); line 4 couldthus be restored[Oposa7rWoTT.LZjuacTo
C]v TO^SAi'ArLXp[wvos]. In other respects,however,there is no resemblancein this documentto a pupillaryapotimema,so
that its identification,even as a public document,must be left open. The highly polished face may be significant,since
such treatmentwas not usually accordedeither to poletai recordsor lease documentsbut ratherto building recordsand
similar documents.Its findspotsuggests that it may derive from a documentoriginally set up on the Akropolis.

idea of further possible occurrencesof proper names and significantwords. Convenientindices of the pre-
viously published mining leases are given by M. Crosby in Hesperia 19, 1950, pp. 298-312 and 26, 1957,
pp. 21-23. Inscriptionspreservingonly recordsof horoi, or of confiscatedor leased properties,are for the
most part published in Hesperia and are indexed in the respectivevolumes of that journal in which they
appear.
