Greek Epigraphy and Religion
Religion and family politics in Hellenistic Kalaureia
This article presents three unpublished Hellenistic inscriptions from the sanctuary of Poseidon in Kalaureia (modern Poros): two found during archaeological excavations on the site and one recorded in a letter that was once part of Ioannis Kapodistrias’ official correspondence. All three inscriptions were dedicatory and carved on bases supporting portrait statues. Interestingly, they were offered to Poseidon by members of a single family already …
From document to history
In From Document to History: Epigraphic Insights into the Greco-Roman World, editors Carlos Noreña and Nikolaos Papazarkadas gather together an exciting set of original studies on Greek and Roman epigraphy, first presented at the Second North American Congress of Greek and Latin Epigraphy (Berkeley 2016). Chapters range chronologically from the sixth century BCE to the fifth century CE, and geographically from Egypt and Asia Minor to the west Eur…
The Contributions to the Refoundation of Thebes
In the context of our ongoing work on the new corpus of Theban inscriptions ( IG VII 2 , 4), we had the opportunity to study the famous inscription that records the contributions for the refoundation of Thebes after 315 bc . The inscription consists of two fragments, the first of which has been known since the nineteenth century, whereas the second was published very recently by Professor Buraselis. Following Buraselis’ publication, the two fragm…

Two New Epigrams from Thebes
The Epigraphy and History of Boeotia
Over the past 20 years, Boeotia has been the focus of intensive archaeological investigation that has resulted in some extraordinary epigraphical finds. The most spectacular discoveries are presented for the first time in this volume: dozens of inscribed sherds from the Theban shrine of Heracles; Archaic temple accounts; numerous Classical, Hellenistic and Roman epitaphs; a Plataean casualty list; a dedication by the legendary king Croesus. Other…
Poletai
The poletai (“sellers”) were an Athenian annual board of ten financial magistrates, tribally alloted, whose office was thought to have already been in place in Solonian Athens ([Arist.] Ath. Pol . 7.3).
Apodektai
The apodektai were an Athenian financial board annually allotted from the ten tribes (one apodektes per tribe). From ca. 386 bce onwards they received money (hence their name “receivers”) from several sources before allocating it to the appropriate authorities as part of the elaborate fiscal system called merismos .
Kolakretai
The Athenian board of the kolakretai were extant already in the Archaic period and operated as disbursers of money down to ca.
Tribute Lists, Athenian
“Tribute lists” is a misnomer traditionally applied to the lapidary records of the first fruits (one‐sixtieth, or “one mina per talent”) of the yearly Tribute ( phoros ) offered to Athena by members of the Delian League.
Delian League
The modern name traditionally used to describe the Athenian‐led alliance of Greek (mainly Ionian) city‐states established in 478 BCE with the aim of continuing the war against Persia.
Introduction
The Epigraphy of Honours at Siphnos
This chapter presents the editio princeps of six honorific inscriptions from Siphnos. All of them were probably issued by the political authorities, i.e., the Council (Boule) and the Assembly of the People, of the small Cycladic island. They offer, welcome new evidence on the political life of Siphnos in the late Hellenistic/early Roman Imperial period. Interestingly, the honour and in one case is a woman. Other points of interest include the fir…
The Funerary Monument for the Argives Who Fell at Tanagra (Ig I 3 1149)
This article is the editio princeps of a new fragment of the well-known Athenian funerary monument for the Argive casualties of the battle of Tanagra in 458 or 457 b.c. (IG I3 1149). The authors discuss onomastic and linguistic questions raised by the text, and propose a new reconstruction of the monument as a whole. They also offer a fresh historical interpretation of the monument within the ideological context of the First Peloponnesian War and…
Epigraphical Approaches to the Post-classical Polis
This volume illustrates the multiple ways in which epigraphy enables historical analysis of the postclassical polis across a world of geographically dispersed poleis. The collection of 16 papers looks at a variety of themes and aims to identify the postclassical polis both as a reality and as a constructed concept
Sacred and Public Land in Ancient Athens
Landed wealth was crucial for the economies of all Greek city-states, and despite its peculiarities Athens was no exception in that respect. This monograph is the first exhaustive treatment of sacred and public —i.e., non-private— real property in Athens. Following a survey of modern scholarship on the topic, Papazarkadas scrutinizes literary, epigraphic and archaeological evidence, in order to examine lands and other types of realty administered…
Athens and Kydonia
A Hellenistic inscription from the Athenian Agora (Agora 17602) concerning syngeneia between Athens and Kydonia in western Crete is reedited here with full commentary. The history of Athenian relations with Kydonia is briefly reviewed. The authors propose a reconstruction of the Kydonians' arguments for mythological kinship between the two cities. Agora 17602 appears to be the earliest firm attestation of mutually accepted syngeneia between Athen…
