EPIGRAPHICAL COMMENTARY

The lettersare clear, carefully executed in comparisonwith most other Samothracianinscriptions, and adorned with finials. The omicron and theta areusually smaller (0.010-0.012 m) thanthe otherletters. The lettering resemblesthat of threeSamothracian records of theoroi-proxenoi2and a new theoroilist mentionedby ChryssaKaradima.3 It is consistentwith letteringin 2nd-centuryinscriptions, notably a Samothracianlist of theoroi-

GENERAL COMMENTARY

Thisdocument is a dedicationby the Thessalian Confederacy to theGreat Godsin Samothrace.The Thessaliandelegation consists of two citizens fromPherai and two fromLarisa. It is headedby the PheraianDamo- thoinos,son of Leontomenes,without doubt none other than the strategos of theThessalian League in 161/60.6The otherthree theoroi seem to be unknown,although (with the exceptionof Bathykles)their names are at- testedin Thessaly.7 The expression£zt 0£Xt0ZV in line3 shouldbe understoodas "repre- sentedby the theoroi"or somethingsimilar. A parallelfor such usage can be foundin Delianinventory lists, e.g., IG XI.2 184, 186, 188, 190,and manyothers, where a gift by a certaindelegation, whose leader is men- tionedby name,is referredto as"ocuo0n,uoc £zt R0Xt0£Xt00V so-and-so." Damothoinos,son of Leontomenes(line 4), is knownfrom other in- scriptions,where he is mentionedas strategos of the League.8He waspart of a famousPheraian family, whose members, attested from the 3rdcen- turyB.C. untilthe 1st centuryA.C., performedimportant public duties. Both his great-grandfatherEpikratidas and his grandfatherDamothoi- nosII weregymnasiarchs atPherai, ca. 241 and216 B.C., respectively.9His fatherLeontomenes, son of Damothoinos,was strategos of theThessalian Leaguein 186/5, as IG IX.2 64, 67, and 274 testify.In the nextyear, 185/4,Leontomenes' brother (and Damothoinos's uncle) held

POUNDER AND NORA DIMITROVA thatsame office. Damothoinos's grandson, Leontomenes, son of Megalo- kles,was also strategos, ca.100-90.1° A datebefore 170 B.C. forthe presentinscription is unlikely:Damo- thoinos,son of Leontomenes,would probably have been too youngto headthe embassy.As justnoted, his father,Leontomenes, son of Damo- thoinos,was strategos in 186/5, whichsuggests that he wasprobably be- tween40 and55 yearsold at the time.His sonwas then probably born betweenca. 205 and190, and in 170would have been between 20 and35 yearsold, not a veryplausible (though theoretically possible) age to hold suchan important public office as the headof anembassy. The eponymousking Nymphodoros, son of Theondas(lines 10-11), is otherwiseunattested. The rarename Theondas, however, occurs else- wherein connectionwith Samothrace: a Hadra vase from Egypt mentions a Samothracianambassador to Alexandrianamed Theondas, who died in 219 B.C.ll Accordingto Livy,a Theondaswas an eponymousking of Samothracein 168 B.C.12 The nameis alsoattested on coins,dating per- hapsfrom the same year, 168.13 The eponymous king recorded in the present dedicationwould have been too old between170 and140 B.C. (thesug- gesteddate of the document,see below) to havebeen the sonof the am- bassadorTheondas. He wouldhave been at least 55-85 yearsold at thattime, if we assumethat his father had died as early as age 40, whichis possible,but unlikely. He mighthave been the sonof theother Theondas, who was kingin 168. This wouldmean that if the inscriptionis to be datedca. 160 B.C., the timeof Damothoinos'sservice as strategos, Nym- phodorosmust have served as eponymousking at a relativelyearly age (ca.40), whilehis fatherserved at a relativelylate age (ca.60), whichis theoreticallypossible. A datearound 150-140 B.C. forthe inscription would suit this scheme a bit better,but of courseone cannot be surewhether the twokings were indeedfather and son. It is alsounclear whether the ambassadorTheondas wasrelated to theeponymous king of 168, butthe time interval is compat- iblewith the possibilitythat he wasthe latter'sgrandfather, thereby con- 10.

moonafter the summer solstice, the first half of 167is alsoprecluded. The Thasianyear, on the otherhand, possibly began with the wintersolstice (asdid the Parianone), as Jean Pouilloux observed.l4 If Samothracefol- lowedthe example of Thasos(and if theThasian year indeed began in the winter),then the inscription could be dated to 167,i.e., shortly after Perseus's defeat.Too little is known,however, about the Samothraciancalendar to providea secureargument. Our only evidence is thatMaimakterion, Mou- nychion,and possibly Poseideon were Samothracian months.15 TheThessalian League may, however, have sent sacred ambassadors to Samothracewithout their visit being tied to a specificevent. There is no indicationthat any theoroi from other Greek states visited the island in connectionwith a particularevent, such as an annualfestival, for in- stance,despite the commonassumption that theoroi were sent to attend suchfestivals. In fact,the documentarysources for the Samothracianfes- tivalare rather slim.

HISTORICAL CONTEXT

The documentintroduced here is alsointeresting from a historicalper- spective.The Thessalian League underwent various stages of development duringits longexistence. In orderto situatethe present document within its historicalcontext, we will focuson the League'shistory in the first halfof the 2nd centuryB.C. A briefoverview of the majorevents should suffice.24

Afterthe SecondMacedonian War (20(}197 B.C.), the Thessalian Confederacywasliberated by the Romans. In 194Flamininus reorganized its structureby establishingstrategoi, who presidedover the federalgov- ernmentas annual officers.25 A typical feature of thenew constitution was thecouncil, synedrion, which functioned as a representativegovernment.26 The Greekface of the new organizationreflected the Romandesire to demonstratethat the Leaguewas indeed set freefrom Macedonian su- premacy.The territoryof the refoundedstate did not includesome of its northernareas, formerly inhabited by perioeci,but in the southit gained PhthioticAchaia, Aitolian Lamia, and other regions.27 Thefollowing period thefirst half of the2nd century B.C. directly concernsour inscription. The Thessalian League experienced a full-fledged revival,marked by considerablepolitical activity, with an expandedgeo- graphicalscope. We learnfrom a decreeof Phokaia,honoring a certain Apollodorosfrom Priene and dated ca. 190 B.C., thatPriene was visited byThessalian ambassadors.28 A decree found at ,dated to 186 or 184 s.e.,29honors Nikostratos, son of Anaxippos,a prominentcitizen of Larisa.He fulfilledvarious diplomatic duties with distinction,including serviceas a hieromnemonoftheThessalians in the reorganized Amphictionic Council,which now consistedof autonomousmembers (lines 3-4), as opposedto its previousdependence on the Aitolians.30A decreeof the ThessalianLeague found in ,near the federalsanctuary of Itonia,and dated to 179-165s.e.,31 discusses financial aid given to Am- braciaby the Leagueand can serve as evidencefor theirgood relations: Ambraciancitizens were granted proxenia and invited to the sacrificein honorof AthenaItonia. As Habichthas observed, the Thessalian koinon alsosent theoroi to theAsklepieia in Mytileneand participated in the Klaria of Kolophon,while Larisa, the capitalof the League,honored officials of EumenesII.32 The Leaguefought on the Romanside againstPerseus during the ThirdMacedonian War (171-168 B.C.), and subsequentlyregained the citiesit hadindirectly lost to PhilipV duringthe Romanwar with An- tiochusIII andthe Aitoliansin 192-188.(Philip had been allowedto
