FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS FROM THE ATHENIAN AGORA 181<br />

in the British Museum certainty is impossible, for it has been cut down to a thin slab,<br />

perhaps by Lord Elgin's instructions before it was brought to England. This leaves<br />

us with only three stelai inscribed on both sides, for there can be no doubt th<strong>at</strong> Nos.<br />

1517, 1518, 1519, and 1520 belong to the same stele (<strong>of</strong> Pentelic marble), as Kirchner<br />

had suspected, and Nos. 1521 and 1524 are <strong>of</strong> Hymettian marble but <strong>of</strong> different<br />

thickness. I omit from this list Nos. 1526 and 1527 as I do not bel<strong>ie</strong>ve th<strong>at</strong> they<br />

belong to our ser<strong>ie</strong>s.45<br />

Including the new fragment from Brauron and our three from the Agora we thus<br />

have <strong>at</strong> present a maximum <strong>of</strong> seventeen stelai, which might be reduced if it could be<br />

shown th<strong>at</strong> some <strong>of</strong> these belong together-a m<strong>at</strong>ter worth investig<strong>at</strong>ing (see Post-<br />

script, p. 186). I add to the table a note <strong>of</strong> the years covered by the contents when<br />

they afford any evidence for d<strong>at</strong>ing.<br />
