the temenos : compare an inscription from Apollonia
Pisid., C. I. Gr. No. 3975 = Waddington-Le Bas,
No. 1195 a, where some person, after having con-
structed τά? στοάς καί τα περί το μνημεΐον, and having
added farther τούς κήπους καί τά οΙκήματα, designates
both the priests and the necessary provision for their
livelihood. (On gardens belonging to the Temenos
of Thiasi see Foucart, Associations Relig. p. 44;
Conze, Lesbos, Pl. 18 foil.) The μνήμα is the sepul-
chral monument of the family; such monuments
were not unfrequently surrounded with gardens, see
post No. DCCCCXVIII.
Line 18. Ένηρόσιον, a word previously unknown, has
been found lately in the Delian inscription, published
Bull, de Corr. Hell. vi. p. 10, line 11, p. 19, lines 145
foil. ; compare Le Bas, ii, No. 2092, which is given
as Parian, but is evidently Delian, see Homolle, Bull,
de Corr. Hell, ii, p. 341 foil. In that case ένηρόσια
together with ενοίκια, τέλη, τόκοι, being specified as
revenues of the god, must be accepted as farm rents,
comp. Homolle, loc. cit. p. 63. In our inscription,
however, only the farm itself can be meant; on the
analogy of the word άνήροτον, ένηρόσιον may be derived
from a word ένήροτον, and may thus signify a field
under cultivation as opposed to fallow-land.
Lines 19 foil. The succession to the priesthood
by seniority is prescribed also in the testament of
Epikteta referred to above.
Line 21. The four golden coins are staters of
Alexander, which in the time of our inscription
fetched from twenty-two to twenty-five drachmae
each, see Hultsch, Metrologie 2, p. 247, and for the
costs of sacrifices compare the previous inscription.
’Οβολός ατελής is an obol nett gain (Xenoph. Vect. 4,
$14; comp, τριάκοντα and δώδεκα μνας άτελεϊς, De-
mosthen. xxvii, 9). Here perhaps the word signifies
‘without any deduction,’ since according to No.
dcccxcv, line 31, a tax for the god could be levied
on the sacrifice.
Line 22. For the curved line as a mark of
punctuation, see ante p. 67.
Line 23. This line, as well as line 14, proves
that descent on the female side entitled a person
to take part in the benefits of Poseidonios’ founda-
tion ; a similar inference must be drawn from a
Karian inscription published by Rayet, Annuaire
de l’Association pour l’Encouragement des Ltudes
Grecques en France, 1875, P· 293 foil. No. 10. But
this has nothing to do with the general position of
women in Karia, since it is to be found also in the
testament of Epikteta.
Lines 24 foil, τρεϊς επιμήνιοι with the same func-
tions are elected also at Thera, where they are to
receive 210 drachmae for the sacrifices.
Lines 27, 28. I cannot propose a satisfactory
restoration at the beginning of line 28, but the mean-
ing seems quite clear. The case provided for might
arise when the revenue of the landed property
became too small. At Delos landed property gradu-
ally lost 100 per cent, of its value between 280 and
180 b. c. while the rent of houses increased corre-
spondingly (see Bull, de Corr. Hell, vi, p. 65).
Lines 29 foil. It is a well known fact, that τεμένη
were let on lease to be cultivated (see Boeckh,
Staatshaushalt.3 i, p. 372, foil.); at Delos we have a
mention of μισθώματα παρά των γεωργούντων τα τεμένη
τά τού θεού (Bull, de Corr. Hell. loc. cit I).
Line 31. Compare line 26; it seems to follow
that in the Halikarnassian Calendar the month Her-
maion succeeded Eleutherios; unfortunately neither
of them can be placed with certainty ; see Bischoff,
De fastis Grsecorum antiquioribus, p. 402; έπιμελείτω-
σαν is very rarely used for έπιμελείσθωσαν ; on this
verb depends the construction of the infinitive θύειν.
Lines 34 foil. The difference of expression in the
two cases seems to be accounted for by supposing
that the mother of Poseidonios was dead ; in the
same way we must explain the similar expression
in the Theraean inscription before quoted, which
formerly appeared unique and unintelligible.
Lines 35 foil. For the different kinds of victims
compare Stengel, loc. cit. p. 83. To the Mother of
the gods a βούς is offered at Thera, C. I. Gr. No.
2465/
Lines 40 foil. According to the testament of
Epikteta only those who are present receive their
shares ; and the επιμήνιοι are to have the half of
the entrails.
Line 45. This is a curious proviso, intended
to favour those who took part in the festival. At
private and smaller sacrifices the skins were some-
times given to the priest; at public ones they
usually fell to the State. The * subscript of κωδια
is confirmed by the Etym. Magn.
Lines 45 foil. Considering the private character
of the document it seems strange that the epi-
menii should have to render an account to the
people. This can only be explained if we suppose
that all religious affairs had been put under public
control ; compare Hermann, Griech. Antiq. ii,
§ IO.
DOOOXOVII.
On a block of dove-coloured marble, with joints above and below. The profile of the stone shows that it must have belonged to the
ania mentioned in line 6. ‘ It was found built into a Turkish house at the foot of the Western peribolos wall of the Mausoleum.’
Height 1 ft. i| in.; breadth 2 ft. f in.; thickness 2 ft. 5 in. Newton, Discov. p. 689, No. 3, pl. lxxxvi. Compare Usener, Neues
Rhein. Museum, xxv, p. 49; R. Dareste, Bull, de Corr. Hell, iv, p. 341 foil.
