The document before us is a treaty between
Priene and Miletos, chiefly referring to lawsuits.
It was common for two states having intimate
relations with each other, to arrange the condi-
tions under which the natives of either city, when
sojourning in the other, might obtain justice in the
foreign courts. Such lawsuits were called δίκαι άπδ
συμβόλων. See Meier, Attisch. Process, p. 773 foil.;
Bockh, Staatshaushaltung, i, pp. 72, 529. The trea-
ties were termed σύμβολα, the present inscription
being one of the kind. Other examples are the
Attic inscription, No. iv of Part I, ante (where see
notes), and Waddington-Le Bas, Part v, No. 86,
line 24 foil, (from Teos).
No. ccccxii exhibited Priene and Miletos as
disputing about their boundaries, and submitting
their claims to the arbitration of Smyrna. In the
present inscription, which appears to be somewhat
later, we find the two cities drawing nearer to each
other, and cementing their friendship by means of
a definite treaty. In lines 4 foil, it seems as if the

two cities had made common cause, so as to unite
forces for the protection of their territory : if so the
arbitration of Smyrna had borne good fruit. I read
β’]οιηθ€ΐν in line 6, comparing C. I. 3137, lines 68
and 77 (from Smyrna), and Waddington-Le Bas,
Part v, No. 1140 (from Kios), where the same form
occurs. Observe that the magistrates before whom
a charge was to be made at Miletos, are the Com-
missioners of the market (lines 7, 11); the interests
of Miletos being mainly commercial, these magis-
trates held an important position. At Priene the
corresponding magistrates are the στρατηγοί, in whose
hands the chief executive power was lodged; they had
also charge of the police of the city. The στρατηγοί
are spoken of in Nos. ccccxv, 12; ccccxix, end.
This treaty tends to confirm the conjecture made on
No. ccccxii, that in the latter part of the third cen-
tury b. c. both Priene and Miletos were under the
patronage of the Egyptian king. It would be to his
interest to draw the two cities together, as against
both the Syrian and Pergamene monarchies.
