264. Tablet. Oblong shape ; at the top, two rings for suspension. The tablet
is inscribed in archaic characters, and in the Aeolian dialect of Elis, with a
treaty betvveen the people of Elis and the Heraeans of Arcadia. The treaty
is to be an alliance offensive and defensive for a hundred years, and in case of
its non-fulfilment by either party, a fine of a talent of silver will be levied, to be
offered to the Olympian Zeus. If anyone injures the inscription itself, he is to
pay the same fine.
