Abstract

One cannot accept ail the proposals of CID II (TheAccounts of the fourth and third centuries) concerning the régulation of the works and the chronology of the documents for the period 346-336, which are so important for the precise dating ofthe operations of the Fourth Sacred War (the establishment of the Euboean koinon and the date of the Amphictionic session in which Aeschines had his turn to speak), for the succession of the temple works, for the ordering of the accounts of the Naopes, and indeed for the restoration of the « wall of accounts ». This study takes up again certain questions linked more or less closely to the archon Palaios and passes in review the accounts in which his name is either mentioned or restored. Following on this fresh examination, it can be confirmed or established that Damoxenos was the archon in 346/5, that Aristonymos is well dated to 341/340, that the archon on the 35th pyle (an archon with 7 letters) was not Palaios, who nevertheless is well dated to 337/6, and that the account CD 11 is certainly the beginning of CD 75 (an apousiai account).
