154 A. M. WOODWARD On Face b the upper fragment has suffered badly from the effects of weathering and surface injury, and offers no hope of extracting any continuous sense. On the evidence of the restorations proposed for Face a it appears that the fracture-line of Face b comes close to the central vertical line, and thus that the first letters preserved in lines 1-5 are approximately the 43rd letters in those lines. We should also note that there is an uninscribed space of about 0.055 m. in height above line 1, which is practically on a level with line 4 of Face a, and one of about 0.04 m. below the last line of fragment B, indicating that the contents of this face were shorter than those of Face a by five, or perhaps six, lines. In line 1 the only certain letters are ST ... 6... E, with N (or just possibly H) as the fourth letter, and faint traces of the lower half of kappa as the sixth. The seventh letter may have been omikron. The third letter is a mere circular depression on the stone but could be omikron. The traces suggest remains of the name ['Apt]orr[6]F[r]Ko9[f]. In line 2 we must restore &p4[ij']8[a] or the plural a&p4[4]- 8&a[], which word clearly recurs in line 3. In line 4 [EK Tr llapOEv('3]vo seems reasonably likely, in default of a suitable epithet ending in -vos. But I cannot identify any possible object weighing upwards of 1600 drachmai from that source. Line 5, to be restored presumably as [Ka] ra' r1w-q'ta 3oX)rg [o o6 8dva ET7rE], must refer to the melting down, or handing over, of some object(s) in the custody of the Tamiai, to which we have no clue. Line 6 should apparently be read as [xpv]-to o-ra0uo'v. Line 7 has only faint traces of three letters, of which the second is clearly iota. On the lower fragment of Face b we have merely the remains of various sums of money, mostly, if not all, in foreign currency, with the insertion of a date in line 2. In line 1 we have the end of a sum, apparently three obols, before which, separated by two spaces, is a vertical stroke. If this was I, perhaps we have a sum ending in 3 drachmai, 3 obols, followed by -1 (rather than cr-) ; if the penultimate letter is really xi, rather than epsilon, this might indicate a total, i.e., o2ip[,uav KEca/Xa7oj]. In line 2 the restoration [a'p]xovrog is to be preferred to [E']xovroa, which seems inappropriate in this context, and if, as seems likely, this introduces a summation, we might go further and restore, e.g., [KE&axXauov rT&J,J 1Tapaoo0EvrTvh i llOo8c6po a'p]xovros &py [vpto - - followed in line 3 by c-rarjpeg A['y]4[vai'ot - - -], rather than a[py]v[po -- -], or, even less likely, 'A [,rr]f [KO XpvCrto - -], seeing that we have silver Corinthian staters at the end of line 4, where the lower stroke of the final sigma seems certain. The order of the words [crrar'pE] g Kopiv&ot 1 a&p[yvpoi] seems cumbrous, but not improbable. After another long gap in line 5 which we cannot hope to fill, we have an indeterminate number of Phokaian gold pieces, but whether staters or hektai, or both, is unknown, and the final entry on the stele is the end of a sum of money, presumably in Attic silver, namely 12 drachmai and one quarter-obol. By its position this surely belongs to a total rather than to a single item, and might include the silver equivalent
