Transliterations on Places on

[1] This decree relates to the dedications in the sanctuary of Asklepios on the south slope of the acropolis. On the sanctuary in general, see IG II³ 4, 665 with notes). On this occasion the decree (ll. 1-23) prescribes details concerning the recording of the dedications and dedicators, on melting down old dedications to make new ones, including a new cult-table (l. 23) and various cult implements (recorded at ll. 209-219). Note the emphasis on preserving the names of the dedicants of the dedications that were melted down (l. 18).

The decree (ll. 1-26) is followed by a temple inventory (ll. 27-219), one of at least ten from the Asklepieion on the south slope of the Acropolis. For the others, see Aleshire, Asklepieion, 1. Temple inventories were inscribed in three contexts: exetasmos or exetasis, a periodic examination of the contents of a temple; kathairesis, a "cleaning up" involving reduction or melting down dedications to make one or more larger objects; and paradosis, the regular handing over of responsibility for a temple from one set of treasurers or priests to their successors. In this case, the inventory combines an exetasmos inventory (ll. 26-47, see n. 4), a kathairesis inventory (ll. 50-207, see n. 6), and an account of the commissions’ expenditures, submitted for audit (euthynai, ll. 209-219, see n. 19). An earlier decree and inventory (IG II³ 1, 898 of 274/3 BC) are inscribed on the other side of the stele. The reference to the tribe Antigonis was erased on the abolition of the Macedonian tribes in 200 BC. [2] Location of the city's archive. [3] This is a list of the ten commissioners responsible for the examination, specified in l. 9. Pausias and Thymochares were wealthy men (they donated the maximum allowable sum in an epidosis in the same year as this inscription: IG II³ 1, 1011, ll. 99, 118). Athenokles is attested as a general and treasurer in the 230s and 220s BC. [4] The exetasmos inventory (ll. 26-47) was probably arranged according to the location of objects within the sanctuary, cf. IG II³ 1, 898 with notes. [5] Ll. 29-31 record an olive crown or wreath made out of gold, which was worn by the cult statue and could be dismantled to weigh the individual parts. The dedicator is an archetheoros (head of sacred delegates), i.e. the leader of an official Athenian delegation to an overseas sanctuary (Asklepios’ sanctuary at Epidauros?). See IG II³ 1, 1390 with note and I. Rutherford, State Pilgrims and Sacred Observers in Ancient Greece, 2014). [6] The kathairesis inventory (ll. 50-207) contains fragments of the list of gold and silver dedications which are to be melted down, listed in order of the priests in office. The priests of Asklepios held office for a year and were supplied by the tribes in rotation according to the tribes' official order. Cf. IG II³ 1, 359. [7] The cup of Antigonis (l. 61) and cup of Demetrias (l. 132) are apparently cups dedicated in the name of the tribes Antigonis and Demetrias. Theodoros, the dedicator of the latter belonged to Demetrias. Cf. Aleshire and Matthaiou, Asklepios 9-10; Athen. Deip. 11.783e. [8] The Antigoneian tetradrachms (l. 72) are tetradrachms issued by Antigonos II of Macedon, probably dedicated after his capture of Athens in 263/2 BC (image on the ANS database). [9] A clapper (krotalon) was used by flute players in order to set the rhythm, like a metronome. [10] Lysikles, the priest of 261/0 BC (l. 97) was also javelin instructor for the ephebes from 257/6 to 245/4 BC (IG II³ 1, 986, ll. 33-34; 1016, ll 20, 90-94). [11] l. 99, 110, 111, 112, 157, 170, 179: It had apparently become normal at this time for priests to melt down smaller dedications made during their tenure at the end of their time in office in order to produce an item of cult equipment. [12] The cult equipment in ll. 109-113 is recorded under the dedications of 259/8 BC, but the dedicators are priests from many different years. Most likely, these were items that were ‘retired’ due to age and placed among the regular dedications in this year (Aleshire, p. 319, cf. Asklepieion, 9, l. 35). This occurs again at ll. 157-158. [13] Phileas of Eitea (l. 113) apparently died in office and his year was completed by Kalliades of Aigilia, from the tribe Antiochis^X (l. 117). [14] A mele was a surgical tool used as a probe or a lancet, cf. Hippocrates, De Capitis Vulneribus 10. [15] The priestess of Themis oversaw the temple of Themis, slightly to the west of the Asklepieion on the Acropolis’ south slope (Paus. 1.22.1). [16] Akrotimos (l. 157, 164) also appears as the proposer of IG II³ 1, 914 of 268/7 BC, a decree regarding public doctors erected in the Asklepieion. It thus appears that he had an ongoing association with the Asklepieion. [17] A kylichnis (‘round box’) was a small box used for ointments, incense, and cosmetics. It is probably the same as the object referred to by modern scholars as a pyxis (M. Milne, AJA 43, 1939, 247-54). [18] The pegs (epitonia, l. 188) were used for tuning a lyre (cf. Ath. Deip. 10.456d). [19] This fragment contains the accounts of the commissioners. Cf. IG II³ 1, 1154, ll. 80-88.
