Transliterations on Places on

[1] The mint was situated in the Agora, see Wycherley Agora III, 160-61. On this as an example of the bland wording of dedications by officials at this period see AIO Papers 9, sect. 2. It is only from 357/6 BC that such dedications begin to refer to crowning by the Council and People. Cf. IG II³ 4, 2. [2] Though there is one member of the board per tribe (plus secretary), they are not listed in the customary tribal order (on which see IG II³ 1, 293 n. 3), as was the norm after 356/5 BC. [3] On top of the monument there is a cavity in which a votive was inserted.
