APPENDIX.
INSCRIPTIONS FROM IKARIA, Nos. 8 and 9.
As this volume is about to go to press, the third part of Vol. IV.
of the Corpus Inscriptionum Atticarum comes to hand, containing a
republication of the inscriptions mentioned above. They are printed
by the editor from a hand copy made by Dr. Lolling, without a squeeze
to correct the common errors of a copyist. I possess more than one
squeeze of each of these inscriptions, taken with the utmost care, and
it is easy to decide from them in general between the printed copies.
As the inscriptions appear above (pp. 93, 96), some errors occurring in
the Journal have been corrected, and as they thus stand my squeezes
confirm Mr. Buck's readings in almost every case. This would not
need mention here, except for a reading of inscription No. 8, as given
in the Corpus. In line 6 a division-mark is placed after the first I
(piHI : KAPIO); and accordingly the reading KAPIO, instead of
IKAPIO, is accepted throughout the inscription, though with great
hesitation by the editor. He imagines that the money may have
belonged to the Kalian Zeus. He says : " Interpunotio ilia, quam
Lollingius notavit vs. 6, si revera exstat in lapide, non Icarii hae sunt
pecuniae, sed Iovis illius Carii, quern cultum fuisse ab Isagorae gente
tradit Herodotus, o, G6, existimandae, cui fieri potuisse ut etiam aliis
locis regionis Atticae sacra fuerint non est cur praefracte negemus.
Utrum verum sit, mihi quidem, cui lapidem ipsi inspiciendi copia
data non sit, in dubio relinquendum est necessario."
My squeezes, otherwise so faithful, exhibit no trace of the division-
mark in line 6; neither do they in line 9, where even Dr. Lolling
failed to find any. This shows that the reading of the Corpus is at
least doubtful. Further, the entire absence of division-marks else-
where in both these entries harmonizes with the later character of
the entries, and diminishes greatly the probability of any occurrence
of the division-marks in them.
