Abstract

The Attic Treasure-records of the fourth century B.C., or more strictly speaking those subsequent to a change in the system of administration which took place shortly before the archonship of Euklides (403/2 B.C.), afford a much more complicated subject of study than the Treasure-records of the fifth century. There is, in the first place, a far larger number of inscriptions, covering nearly a hundred years; the objects dedicated are incomparably more numerous, and are constantly increasing; and the frequent changes in the method of recording the treasures, and in the system of their administration, add to our difficulty,, and furnish many problems of which a final solution is probably unattainable. The task of workers in this field has, however, been much simplified by the recent republication of all the material in the latest part of theEditio Minorof the AtticCorpus(Inscriptiones Graecae, Vol. ii.–iii.ParsII.,Fasc.i., 1927), and it would be hard to exaggerate the importance of this publication, thanks to Kirchner's masterly handling of the texts concerned.
