[1] Textual Note. AIO follows the text of Agora XV except as noted below. None of the names in 1-11 is distinctive, except Poithikos (6), which is attested only here in Attica. The heading [Anaphlystos] (Ag. XV) is accordingly speculative (IG prudently declined to identify a deme heading). If it is correct, it is uncertain how many men were listed under it (the bouleutic quota of Anaphlystos before 307/6 is firmly attested as 10, e.g. by IG II³ 4, 81, but cf. below on Alopeke). For the name in 3 IG and Ag. XV read Chairephilos (?), D. M. Lewis, ABSA 50, 1955, 14 (SEG 16.144) Chairippos (?). For ease of reference we retain Ag. XV's identification of deme names in 21, 23, 26, 28, though these are more or less speculative (none of them was included in IG). None of the names listed in this part of the list is distinctive of the deme to which Meritt and Traill allocate them. In 32 IG read [Ἀγκ]υλῆθεν, but Ag. XV's reading of the deme heading as Alopeke, first made by Lewis, was confirmed by G. Papadopoulos, Horos 10-12, 1992-98, 124-6, reading Ἀ]λ̣[ω]π̣εκῆθεν (SEG 46.230), and is supported by the occurrence in that deme ca. 350-300 BC of the father-son name pairs Ktesikleides-Kteson (37, mid-iv BC), Demophilos-Leostratos (39, mid-iv BC and ca. 342/1 BC), Diophanes-Euteles (43, cf. Habicht ad SEG 42.201, drawing attention to SEMA 88, gravestone of Diophanes and Euteles of A. with Aristylla, ca. 350 BC or a little later, cf. Papadopoulos, Horos), Hipponikos-Kallias (44, ca. 350-300 BC). Cf. Humphreys and for full prosopographical data Athenian Onomasticon. In 46 Antiochides son of Demokrates of Kolonai is not identifiable.

It is clear enough from the deme headings at 32 and 45 that this is a list of the tribe Antiochis (X), but its identification as a prytany catalogue (cf. IG I³ 515) or a catalogue of the whole Council (cf. AIO 2776, preferred by Papadopoulos) is doubtful, given that the bouleutic quota of Alopeke in the period of the ten tribes was not 12, as on this list, but 10 (IG II³ 4, 81). 12 was the quota for Alopeke after 307/6 BC, and a date after that year was proposed for our inscription at Hesp. 38, 1969, 530, but Meritt and Traill observe in Ag. XV that "no demotic belonging to Antiochis in the Macedonian period will fit the letters and quota recorded in 28-31". They also note that the nom. pl. demotic ending -ης (28) suggests a date earlier than 307/6 (on this cf. Threatte, Grammar vol. 2, 232, 239-43, indicating that this form is unlikely after ca. 325 BC). It seems preferable to leave both dating and identification of type of list open (for doubts about whether this is a Council list, cf. Traill, Demos and Trittys, 1986, 142 n. 46; Humphreys. The presence of two apparent brothers on the list, ll. 30-31, is not decisive either way).
