"Inscriptions: Horoi, Poletai Records, Leases of Public Lands","1991","Agora XIX","","","Agora:Publication:Agora 19","","Lalonde, G.V.","Publication","Agora","Agora:Image:2009.09.0045::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0045.jpg::382::500","","The three types of inscription from the Athenian Agora presented in this volume are all concerned with important civic matters. Part I, by Gerald V. Lalonde, includes all the horoi found in the excavations; most of them had been brought into the area for reuse at a later period. An introductory essay discusses the various purposes the horoi served, whether as markers of actual boundaries or private records of security for debt. The various types are illustrated in photographs. In Part II Merle K. Langdon publishes all the known records of the Athenian poletai, a board of magistrates charged with letting contracts for public works, leasing the state-owned silver mines and the privilege of collecting taxes, and leasing or selling confiscated property. The catalogue is preceded by an account of the nature of these transactions and the history of the poletai. Part III, by Michael B. Walbank, presents the records of leases for public and sacred lands, which once stood in the Agora; the documents are now in both the Agora and the Epigraphical Museums in Athens. The discussion considers the history and the terms of the leases. The three sections are followed by combined concordances and indices, with photographs of all stones not previously published.","American School of Classical Studies at Athens"
"Inscriptions from the Athenian Agora","1966","AgoraPicBk 10 (1966)","","","Agora:Publication:Agora Picture Book 10","","Meritt, B. D.","Publication","Agora","Agora:Image:2009.09.0013::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0013.jpg::200::313","","Many types of written records are found in the Agora, and this booklet presents a sample of more than 10,000 inventoried inscriptions on stone. The texts illustrated include diplomatic agreements, commemorative plaques for athletic victories, records of court judgements, boundary stones identifying different buildings, and fragmentary inscriptions featuring names (over 30,000 individual Athenians are now recorded). In a city of letters, even the problems faced by the librarians of the Library of Pantainos seem familiar: “No book shall be taken out for we have sworn an oath. Open from the first hour to the sixth.”","The American School of Classical Studies at Athens"
