FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS FROM THE ATHENIAN AGORA 155<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Phokaian gold in the line above, which might indeed have been preceded or<br />

followed by some other entry <strong>of</strong> gold coin. Before we part from these tantalizingly<br />

incomplete payments the possibility must not be overlooked th<strong>at</strong> they may represent<br />

transfers from the Treasurers <strong>of</strong> the Other Gods, r<strong>at</strong>her than from the Treasurers<br />

<strong>of</strong> Athena, since we find precisely Aiginetan and Corinthian st<strong>at</strong>ers and Phokaian<br />

hektai in the single surviving inventory drawn up by the former board."<br />

11I.G., I2, 310, lines 114-115, Corinthian st<strong>at</strong>ers; lines 110-111, Aiginetan st<strong>at</strong>ers; lines 105-<br />

2 a (Pl<strong>at</strong>e 55). Part <strong>of</strong> a stele <strong>of</strong> Pentelic marble, complete above and on the right,<br />

with smooth-dressed surfaces, found by a former workman in the wall <strong>of</strong> a modern<br />

house <strong>at</strong> the corner <strong>of</strong> 68 o 'AAnOva' and 060s Bv'0'o-o- (ca. 200 m. north <strong>of</strong> Monasteraki)<br />

on January 6, 1936.<br />

Height, 0.245 m.; width, 0.188 m.; thickness, 0.085 m.<br />

Height <strong>of</strong> letters, 0.006 m.<br />

Inv. No. I 3298.<br />

<strong>The</strong> inscription is cut in an almost square stoichedon p<strong>at</strong>tern, in which 5 lines<br />

measure 0.05 m. and 5 rows measure 0.048 m. <strong>The</strong> vertical fracture on the left side is<br />

rough-picked, with bevelled edges (not original); the back is fairly smooth, but not<br />

polished or inscribed. <strong>The</strong>re is part <strong>of</strong> a bronze peg in the upper surface, near the<br />

corner, which originally held another block in place above. And above line 1 there<br />

is a blank space 0.038 m. in height.<br />
