iCO <£> ioo ftO ico THE COLLECTION OF ANCIENT GREEK INSCRIPTIONS IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM PART II EDITED BY C. T. NEWTON KEEPER OF THE GREEK AND ROMAN ANTIQUITIES PRINTED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES AT THE CLARENDON PRESS, OXFORD 1883 CH ptZ i^t \^^ / ^ n- s PREFACE. The first Part of 'The Collection of Greek Inscriptions in the British Museum/ published in 1874, contained those found in Attika. In editing the Part now published I have followed the geographical arrangement adopted by Bockh, placing first the inscriptions from the Peloponnese, after which follow those from Northern Greece, Macedonia, Thrace, the Kimmerian Bosporos, and the islands of the Greek Archipelago. All the inscriptions from the island of Kalymna, and most of those from Rhodes, Kos, and Lesbos, are now published for the first time. I have to acknowledge the very valuable aid I have received in preparing this Part from Mr. A. S. Murray and Mr. Cecil H. Smith, Assistants in the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities, who have carefully collated the uncial texts with the original marbles, and revised every sheet as it passed through the press, contributing at the same time valuable suggestions as to the decypherment and interpretation of certain very difficult inscriptions. Part III, edited by the Rev. E. L. Hicks, and now in the Press, will contain the inscriptions from Priene, Ephesos, and lasos. C. T. NEWTON. CONTENTS OF PART II. PAGE Chapter I.

If the 6, line 12, an oracle, xPWh-o^, is referred to. restoration of lines 2, 3, given above, is correct, Bockh supposes the persons invited to the Prytaneion would pro- the Oinopion, d, line 7, and a, line 6, to be the son of Dionysos bably be the irpfo-^iVTai of line 9.
