The item to which ll. 15-16 refer is obviously the same as that entered in the accounts of the Propylaea, Column III, 11. 14-15. The number of spaces before άò in line 15 of the Parthenon stele is the same as the number in line 14 of the Propylaea account; therefore we may restore HepaισTikô in the Parthenon account and, reciprocally, V[av]P[eio in that of the Propyleea.2 We are certainly concerned with one of the Laurium mines, which were usually named after divinities, such as Aphrodisiacum, Apolloniacum, Artemisiacum, Athenaiïcum, Demetriacum, Dionysiacum, Dioscuricum, Hermaicum, Pandrosiacum (?), and Poseidoniacum. And in fact we actually learn of a mine called the Hephaestiacum. Apparently the state's share of the profits of this mine, or rather five-sixths of the income (if we may so interpret TÔμ TÉVTE μEрôv in the next line), were used for building purposes. It is probable that the same entry is to be restored in year III (Col. II, 11. 44-45) of the Fropylaea account, where we have the letters IOM1[évte μepôv]. There is sufficient space to insert it also in years I (Col. I, ll. 8–15), II (Col. I, 11. 60–62), and V (Col. IV, ll. 9-18) of the Propylaea accounts; no such entry occurs in the Parthenon accounts of the corresponding period 437-432 B.C. For the preceding decade, apart from the known entry in year IX of the Parthenon, it is possible

1 A.J.A. 1913, p. 396 (on p. 384 we should read "treasurers of the Hephaesti (a)cum."

2 The fourth letter, which I formerly read T, seems rather to be P.

• Possibly μépos has the sense of άπоνoμn, implying that the epistatae received five shares of the many into which the state's income from the mines was divided (see Ardaillon, op. cit. pp. 197-198).

to restore it also in year X;1 and it may well have appeared every year, since the receipts of years I, III, VI, VII, and VIII are completely lost, and those of years II, IV, and V contain sufficient space for such an item.

I now arrange the stele with eight double columns, three on each face and two on the narrow edges (Fig. 1). Since Column I included the beginning of year III, and Column II had the first part of year V, and since these two columns were probably of equal length (in neither case concluding a year's account), we may estimate that each contained ninety lines. Then Column III would have only eighty-three lines, allowing no space for year VII, which must be assigned to the reverse. On the reverse it is probable that Columns IV and V each contained the accounts of two years; each begins with an annual prescript, and we found that year X appeared at the bottom of Column V. And we know that in Column VI were three shorter accounts. The total height of the stele becomes 1.60 m., and the width 1.80 m.

Having attempted, in my previous article on this subject, to give a consecutive reading of all the extant fragments, I now summarize all the later additions and revisions, including the new numbering of the lines.

On account of the numerous chronological changes involved, it seems advisable to reprint the historical summary which I formerly published, as follows:

Year I, 447/6 B.C.; Timarchides archon, Diodorus of Paeonidae secretary to the Hellenotamiae. The Parthenon begun with Ictinus and Callicrates as architects. The famous gold staters were already in the treasury, where they remained for the fifteen. years. Payments were made for quarrying and transporting marble (though not yet for working it), for wages of carpenters and laborers, and for salaries of the epistatae, architects, and secretaries.

3

Year II, 446/5 B.C.; Callimachus archon, (Ant)idorus (?) first secretary to the senate, E of Halae secretary to the epistatae, Execestus of Athmone to the treasurers of Athena.

1 The location of fragment H, fitting below A+E, as determined in my previous article, is correct, though at one period (A.J.A. 1913, p. 388, n. 1) the error in the word karaμeviois (ibid. p. 75), and the condition of the letters on the reverse, so enlarged by corrosion as to resemble those on the obverse, inclined me to doubt this attribution.

2 A.J.A. 1913, pp. 77-80.

3 Cf. J.H.S. 1914, p. 277.

Year III, 445/4 B.C.; Lysimachides archon, Eu- secretary to the Hellenotamiae.

Year IV, 444/3 B.C.; Praxiteles archon, Strombichus of Cholleidae secretary to the Hellenotamiae. The earliest extant notice of the contribution of the ȧrapxé (then 42,675 dr. 5 ob.); Pericles accused by Thucydides of the misuse of the Delian funds; the charge dismissed and Thucydides ostracized.' The new fleet of triremes finished and the surplus money (90,000 dr.) turned. over to the Parthenon. Wood purchased, probably for scaffolding.

Year V, 443/2 B.C.; Lysanias archon, os first secretary to the senate, Timotheus annual secretary to the epistatae, Anticles permanent under-secretary, Andr― secretary to the treasurers of Athena, Sophiades of Eleusis to the Hellenotamiae. The middle long wall finished by Callicrates, and the surplus money devoted to the Parthenon.

Year VI, 442/1 B.C.; Diphilus archon, Anticles under-secretary to the epistatae, Chalcideus of Melite secretary to the Hellenotamiae. The columns channeled.

Year VII, 441/0 B.C.; Timocles archon,

of Ph

of Proba

secretary to the epistatae, Anticles under-secretary. Year VIII, 440/39 B.C.; Morychides archon, linthus secretary to the epistatae, Anticles under-secretary, Sosistratus of Hybadae secretary to the Hellenotamiae. The doors of the naos set in place (?).

Year IX, 439/8 B.C.; Glaucinus archon, Anticles under-secretary to the epistatae, of Laciadae secretary to the treasurers of Athena, Ergophilus to the Hellenotamiae. The only preserved entry of the receipt from the Hephaestiacum silver mine. Ivory bought, and silver ornaments made, for decorating the doors; payments to woodworkers and gilders (probably for the ceiling, the latter, perhaps, also for the marble mouldings). The marble now brought to the Ergasteria is probably to be in readiness for the pediment sculptures.

Year X, 438/7 B.C.; Theodorus archon, the epistatae, Anticles under-secretary,

-philus secretary to of Rhamnus (or

1 The appearance of the word 'A0evaios whenever the archon's name is given in these records signifies that the documents were not purely local, and implies that the allies had formally destined the ȧrapxé as their contribution toward the rebuilding of the Parthenon. I owe this suggestion to Professor W. S. Ferguson; a similar statement was made by Foucart (Rev. de Philologie, 1903, pp. 10-11; cf. Collignon, Parthenon, 1914, p. 41.

2 The name of Anticles may have appeared also in the four earlier prescripts.
