The Greek Numeral Notation
The object of the following articles is to set forth as briefly as possible the epigraphical evidence at our disposal for determining the numerical systems employed in the various cities of Greece, and to state afresh some of the conclusions which we are entitled to draw from it. I am not sanguine enough to believe that I have overlooked none of the available materials, but I hope that my essay may contribute something towards a fuller understand…
I.—Excavations At Sparta, 1907
The beginning of Damonon's votive slab, which was found by Leake in the Monastery of the Holy Forty ( "Αγιοι Τεσσαράκοντα or Σαράντα ) and is now in the Sparta Museum, is one of the best known and oftenest discussed of early Laconian inscriptions. The following are the chief references. Leake, Travels in the Morea , ii. 521 and Plate 71 (end of vol. iii.). A better copy, Dressel and Milchhöfer, Ath. Mitt. ii. 318. Facsimile in Roehl, I.G.A. 79 an…
Inscriptions from Eumeneia
The following inscriptions, along with a number of others which have been already published, were copied by Mr. A. J. B. Wace in the course of a visit paid to Ishekli, the site of the ancient Eumeneia, in the spring of 1903. Mr. Wace kindly handed his manuscript over to me with leave to publish any inscriptions which were still unknown. My delay in doing so is due to the fact that I had hopes of getting a copy of the closing lines of No. 2, eithe…
Teams of Ball-Players at Sparta
A series of inscriptions, most of which are unfortunately in a very fragmentary condition, records the victories won by teams of Spartan ballplayers. As two of these have not yet been published while the others have never been grouped together, my present object is to collect the texts in question, restoring them as far as possible, and to add a short statement of the main facts which we can gather from them regarding the contest referred to
A New Fragment of the Attic Tribute Lists
On May 22nd 1904, one of the workmen engaged on the restoration of the Erechtheion noticed an inscribed fragment of white marble lying on the surface of the ground a little to the west of that temple. It was afterwards deposited in the Acropolis Museum, where I was able to take a copy and a squeeze by the kind permission of Mr. D. Philios, Ephor of the Acropolis, to whom my warm thanks are due for giving me permission to publish the inscription, …
Excavations at Palaikastro. II
In consequence of the torrential rains which made it impossible to commence work on the Roussolakkos site immediately upon our arrival at Palaikastro, an excavation was carried on from March 23rd to March 28th at a site named Kouraménos, situated close to the sea-shore about half an hour's walk north of Angathiá. Six men were employed on the first day, and an average of twenty-one on the succeeding days. About half a mile N.E. of the Kastri is a …
An Unpublished Attic Decree
The following decree is inscribed upon the lower part of a stele of bluish (Hymettus) marble, broken at the top and on the left: the break across the top is too regular to have been accidental, and it is evident that the slab has been cut in order to be built into some wall. The stone was found in 1897 among the ruins of the Byzantine chapel which stands on the left of the road from Athens to Marathon, between the tenth and eleventh kilometre sto…
Excavations at Palaikastro. II
On March 31st, 1903, and the three following days I conducted a trial excavation at a site situated at about an hour's distance from Roussolakkos, and known as Hagios Nikolaos from a small church of that name. During the first three days I employed ten men, on the fourth only two. The most prominent feature of the landscape is the height called Módhi (1776 ft.). From the foot of this there runs almost due east a deep valley with a river-bed, whic…
