[1] This fragment, first edited by B. D. Meritt, Hesp. 9, 1940, 56-7, no. 5, is from a list of names of the tribe Hippothontis. There is no firm direct evidence for the bouleutic quotas of Thymaitadai, Hippothontid Eroiadai, and Keiriadai at this period (for Keiriadai see Agora XV 492, ll. 128-131, but that is not certainly a bouleutic list). It is no more than possible, therefore, that this is a list of the Council prytany of Hippothontis rather than some other type of catalogue. It is unclear exactly what kind of monument it belonged to (this block was apparently octagonal), and also unclear whether, if it did list councillors, it listed the prytany of Hippothontis alone (cf. IG I³ 515, with notes) or the whole Council (cf. AIO 2776, with notes). The restoration of the father of Protomachos (7) as Herm[ippos] is indicated by his surviving early-4th cent. funerary monument, SEMA 280.
