INSCRIPTIONS ON STONE: NOS. V.-VIII.

205

No. 523, and his commentary should he noted. He would interpret the H after -iperpov

as rj(fjLiTr\e0pov).

VI.

On a limestone tripod-base, found near the north wall of the West Building, with a
diameter of .50 m. and a. height of .41 m. The top surface shows four dowel-holes, a
large square one in the centre, and three smaller rectangular ones for the legs, at dis-
tances of .23 m. apart.

D E M M I I- I- o £• Ae'^x\0?.

Height of letters .03 m. to .035 m. The rounded delta throws this inscription also
back towards the beginning of the fifth century. But its chief interest lies in the
doubling of the xi. This is paralleled by the Boeotian Aeggnnros, Riihl, /. G. A. 150,
and Ae^iTTira, O. I. G. 1G08, line G.1 The turning of xi on its side seems to be an
Argive peculiarity." It appears also on the inscription over the Cleonaeans who fell in
the battle of Tanagra: C. I. A. I. 441. The cutting off of the upper half of the middle
bar is, so far as I know, without precedent.

VII.

Found just to the south of the West Building among some architectural fragments.
Inscribed on an irregularly broken fragment 1 ft. by 8 in. in size. The height of the
letters is about .5 in. In the museum at Arg'os.

Possibly the stone formed the upper part of a stele.

VIII.

AvKLVO^

This inscription is described as having come to light " on the surface of the south
side." The stone measures 5 in. by 6 in., and is broken on all sides. The letters are not
deeply cut and the squeeze is difficult to read. The height of the letters is about .3 in.
