Book Description
Excerpt from An Introduction to Greek Epigraphy, Vol. 2: The Inscriptions of Attica In the Commentary following each text the editors have endeavoured where it was possible to treat the particular text as typical and as illustrative of others of the same class. In many instances, with the view of avoiding repetition in the notes, a prefatory 'remark' introduces a special category of inscriptions, such as no Vi (p. 127) on the formulae of decrees after 307 /6 b.c., or no. V111 (p. 145) on the Ephebic inscriptions. It happens not unfrequently that an inscription may be classed under more than one head. Thus a document which may be technically a decree or a pendant to a decree falls more naturally under another head, such as that of finance the so-called 'hecatompedon' inscription (no. 132) is a case in point.
