Between 1878 atul the present time at least eight treatises de- voted entirely to the Athenian »Secretaries have been published. If we add articles in handbooks and dictionaries of classical an- tiquities in which stateni'-Mits of facts rather tlian proofs are fur- nished, the mnnl)er must be doubled. The subject of this study is therefore an old, much-investigated one ; its point of view alone is new. There were few annual offices at Athens not filled by boards of ten. There were fewer still filled by individuals. The secretary- ships were such. Of the other single annual offices the names of the holders have with a few distinguished exceptions all been lost. It is, indeed, altogether owing to the fact that, in the case of the Secretaryshipsaloneof their class, we know in large part the names and demes of their holders, that their study is of more than third- rate importance in Athenian ('onstitutional History. Kiiowing their demes we know their tribes, and as a result of the observa- tion that the tril)e of the psephismata secretary for any given year was determined by its position in the official order, something of value may have been derived from this study. Of this let the reader judge for himself. During the fifth and fourth centuries B. C tlie archons establish the years of the secretaries : during the third and .second the pse- phismata secretaries will, hereafter, be our guides in fixing the years of the archons. To the list offered by me the names only of those archons have been admitted wliose positions have been located or affected by the secretaries, and of these I am conscious that many will later have to be changed.

Prol)al)ly that which inoix- th:iii anything; cIsl' (k'termiiied the shape of the luechanisni of AllKiiiaii y;()Vt'riiiiKiit was the institu- tion of the ten tribes. Ikfore Kleisllieiu-s' time there had been four tribes only, rtAc'oi'Tts, "On-Ar/Tts, 'Afiyii^ut and Af'yiKo^ei?, so called from the four sons of Ion. I-'rom the little uc can karn of thuni, they seem to have been local and social in character, and there- fore different in kind from those with which we are familiar in hiter times. Kleisthenes in devisinj; the ten tribes strove to make them unlike their preflece.s.sois, and |)rol)i))lv succeeded. The Kleisthenean tribes were also different in kind from their sub- divisi(jns, the trittyes and denies. The denies were new creations of Kleisthenes ; the trittyes had existed even before vSolon's lime. This difference consisted in the lact that the ten tribes did not have a place on the ma]i of Attica, while the Ionic tribes, the trittyes and the denies did. The tribe had its as^ora, or meeting- place, but the men who asseiiil)led there might, and ordinarily did, come from several different sections of the country. A number of contiguous denies made a trittys, and a denie was a lot j)f land with the citizens who themselves, or whose ancestors, uoniinally or actually, dwelt on it. Each of the ten tribes had three trittyes, and each trittys a munber of denies. Each tribe, trittys, and deme had its own constitution and officers. As the trittyes were by far the least important of these three divisions of the citizens of Athens, so were the ten tribes the most important ; for we find that with very few exceptions all the state offices were filled by boards of ten or multiples of ten. The frequency of S(Ka and Kara v\di in Aristotle's Constitution of Athens is ex- tremely significant. Tlie political institutions were certainly based upon the decimal system ; the religious institutions are in- separable from the political, and the military have the ten generals, the tea ta.xiarchs, the ten phylarchs, the ten divisions i The Athenian Secretaries. of the citizen nrtny etc., to show the plan upon which they were Itnill. (Jntside Attica also, the inflnence of the ten tribes was (elt. If a colony was planted, each tribe had its representative on the board iA land agents. If a Klernchy was sent ont, it preserved the tribal orj^ani/.ation of the niolherhind ; it was Athens in miniature. If new territory was acqnired, an enclosure was reserved for the eponyinoi of llu' lril)es. If Athenians held oOices in dependent states, the tribe was considered in their election jn-^l as in the case of offices at .Athens. In fact, wherever Athenian influence prevailed, the form of <;overnment there in voj^ne owed its ])ro- portions t') tlie tribal institutions of Athens. \ot only were the duties which the 6»'}/u,os- could not personally perform ordinarily entrusted to boards ot ten, 1ml these boards of ten were made u]) of individuals chosen by lot, one from each of the ten tribes. The tribe determined the .i;ron]i of citizens elii;ible tor a certain ofhce ; llie lot decided which i>f the t^ronii should hold it. Both served pnrel}' and simply as convenient and eciuitable means of (listril)uting state honours and bmdens. Neither is essentiidly democratic ; but ;is ajiplied at Athens both were. The tribes Ijccame democratic institutions, when, by Kleisthenes" reforms, approximately all citizens were admitted to them. The lot became most democratic, when any citizen of Athens mi»;ht be .selected by it t(5 hold any office. It is obvious that for the distribution of offices filled by individ- uals not by boards — .such as the .secretaryships — an order of pre- cedence among the tribes was desirable ; for so best was an equi- table distribution i^ossible. If the exjilanation, offered by H. Sidgwick (Class. Rev. 1S94 p, 333 ff . ) for the periodic anarchy which followed the let;islatit)n of Solon, be correct, and it is highly plausible, it follows immediately that there was such an order among the four Ionic trii)es. What this might have been we can only conjecture. It may be found in the following passage from Kur. Ion, 1579-81. r«A£a)r \ki.v fcrrai irpioTO^ ' tlra BtvTfpo^ . . . "OttAt/tcs 'ApyaBrjs t f'/ii-V' ''" """'aiytSos 'Ev crsonally ■se hoards of rotn each of /.ensclit;ible roll J) should i-eiiieiil and id burdens. t\thL-ns both wliLii, l)y re a(hiiitted V cili/eii of by iiidivid- fder of pic- as an ecjiii- red by H. ic iuiarchy and it is IS such ail have been following Accordinj^ly the oflicial order of the four Ionic pliylai may liave been ( l) TtAcoi'Tts, ( j ) "OttAi/tcs, (3) 'A/jya8ti?, '4) AiytKopeis. However that may be, there can l)e no (iiK'stion whatsoever as to the existence of an olTicial order of tin.- li n tribes. As .i;iveii in many inscriptional documents it is as follows: (i) lyechtheis, (2) Aigeis, (3) Pandioiiis. (4) Leontis, (5) Akamantis, (6) Oiiieis, (7) Kekro|)is, (8) Ilippothontis, (9) Aiantis, (lo) Antiochis. .\s a means of classifying the names of the citizens, this ordc-r was the nearest approach the Athenians madr to our use of the letters of the alpliabet That il was tnore than a mere coiiveiiieMce in cataloguing has \el tcj be shown. The names of the tribes are said 1)>- Ari-.l()tk- to havu buen selected for them l)y the Pythian God from among tin.- one hun- dred Archegetai. If it were not true that the ten tribfs wi-ru the arbitrary creations of Kleislheiies, this iniL;lit be- uiuk'rstood to mean that the Athenians themselvt-s did not know anything about the origin of the names. As it i^1, it is probably the correct explanation. Who the hundred Arclu-gelai wi-rc. and what rela- tion they burf, if any, lo the hundml dc-mes and the fortv-two irruivvfioi tCov riXLKLmi>, are (pieslions still awaiting solution. The origin of the oHlciil order is (luile as uncertain. A. Mommsen (Phil. N. F., iS,s8, p. 449 IT.) tries to ^liow that it sprang from the old Calendar of Festivals. According to liis view, each of the ten eponymoi was worshipped in a certain sea^on of the year, and each tribe managed the affairs of the state, through its representatives in the senate, during the period in which the festival of its eiionymos was held. The guarantee for the observance of the official order was the sanctity of the Calen- dar of Festivals. When peo]de became less observant of the wor- ship of the heroes, the official order was thrust aside. The strongest objection to this view is that il is contrary to i!ie tend- ency observable in I'le historic j)eriod. .\ltliougli it is certain that the official order was never in any known periv\ai. When an army was put in the field, men of a certain age, drafted from each of the ten tribes, made up the ten regi- ments of which it was composed. To determine what individuals were included within the age limits .set, the forty two iT-ww/xoi tiov ■^Klkiwv were used. The eVajw/Ltoi tojv <^i,'Aa>j/ were used to determine the regiments to which these individuals belonged. We know, then, that in drafting troops for service, in assigning their places to each soldier, in distributing the ephebes at mess, tlie tribe was primarily considered. The ten regiments were the ten tribes. The ten commanders were the ten trii)al officers, and held supreme command by turns in a well known order of succession. On one occasion there is at least some evidence that the regiments stood side by side in the official order of the tribes. This estalilishes a probability in favor of the view that tlie order of the tribes was the order of the regiments, and, as far as I am aware, there is nothing that militates against it. From time immemorial, we are told by Tiiucydides and Pausa- iiias, there existed at Athens the custom of burying the citizens, who fell in battle, in the public burying ground of the Kerameikos. The dead of each tribe were buried separately, and over the graves The Athenian Secretaries. stelai were erected ])earing the name and denie of each (o-r^Xai TO. (Ji/o/xara Kai rov Srj/Jiov e/cacrTov Aeyouo-ai). Several of these Stelai have come down to us, and on tliem the names are disposed accordinjj^ to the ofBcial order of the tribes. It is, indeed, in these lists that we first meet with the official order in the inscriptions. Those who fell at Marathon were buried according to their tribes (kuto. <^vA.as), and stelai erected bearing their names ; while, even before that event, l)urial in the public burial ground existed. The important point U> bt noticed is, that it was onlj- in the cast of the warriors who died in ))attle that the names were inscribed in the official order of the tri))es. This strengthens the view as to the use of the official order to aid in marshalling the citizen army. The military necessities would thus demand a fixed arrangement of tlie tribes, and the constant usage of the order, when fixed, would insure permanency to the organization : but why was the order such as it is? Pt-rhaps Kleislhenes had the Pythian God arrange the tribes, as he liad him name them. Perhaps the acci- dental arrangement of the statues of the eponymoi in the market- place was adopted and so became fixed. The order was c^.-rlainly so fixed for the burial lists of those who fell in l)attle, as eiu'ly as 460 B. C, and seems to have been spasmodically adopted in later periods as the order of succession or rotation in the holding of civil offices. S 2. The Secretariks of the Senate and People as DETERMINED BY REFERENCES IN THE LITERATURE. The relation of the secretaries at Athens to the tribes, the nMe played by the official order in determining their distribution over the tribes, and the l)earing of these considerations on the number, names, and duties of the secretaries, are the problems undertaK^u for solution in this stud}'. First in importance among the secretaries will come those of the .seimte and people. Literary references determine their num- ber and functions, and guide us in our epigraphical investiga- tions Aristotle is the chief source of information outside the in- scriptions, and he. in Ath.

The following is Harpokration's ver.-ion 'f it (Dei]!, .win, p. 238, 14. o ypafxp.iLTeh'; Trj<; fiovXri^} : — Fpa/x/aaTtus " ^y]iiovXdTT(.L kill to. aAAu TrdvTiL di'Tiypd(/)£Tut kiu TrapaKiWyjTiLL Ti] fiovXij, 8(.Bi'jXo)Kti'\\pLLrrfiaTa, as will be seen shortly. The secretary for the law.s is not given a title at all. The third secretary is simply denoted l)y his function, z. e., to read documents to the senate and people. § 3. rpa/x/Mareu9 T179 /80UX179. In the inscriptions we find that the secretary, who publishes the decrees of the senate and people in the earliest i)eriod, is designated thus : in the Nom. case, 6 ypafxiMiTtv'i 6 r^s ^ov\rj<;, or 6 y/ju/x/u,aTei'9 TTJs /3ov\ri^ ; in the Gen., toC ypn/x/iAUTeajs t^s ^ouA^s ; in the Dat., tw ypaiMfiaTtL rrj<; jSovXrj'i ; in tlie Acc, tov ypafifiaria t^s /SouA^s, never rov y/ju/x/x(xT€u tov t^s ^ouA^s, except in a doubting suggestion by Kirchhofl* in C. I. A iv i, 22k, 1. 7, p. 58, and in C. I. A. iv I, ii6p, p. 68, where it has likewise been restored by the editor. This designation appears, in the formula used to indicate the way in which the decree was to be disposed of, in the oldest inscriptions, and continues in use until 318-7 B. C. After this it is never found. Between 363 B. C. and 321 B. C, the title ypajx- /jtarevs T^s /3ouA^s is found about thirty times, and after 321 B. C, once, in 318-7 B. C. (C. I. A. iv 2, 231b, 1. 67). The chief business of the ypa(ifjua.Tw, seemingly, is to inscribe the decrees of the senate and people, on stone tablets, and set them up in the places specified. He has, further, to set up lists, at the bidding of the .senate and assembly, — such as, the names of allies of Athens, the text of oaths and arrangements between the city and other states, the names of benefactors and Trpo^tvoi of the state, and the names of generals. He has to make copies of de- crees already in.scribed and to collate others. His duties are thus connected with the business of the .senate and assembly in their civil and legislative capacity. He has no legal functions of any nature. The formula by which his duties are normally specified, before 01. 100, is as follows : t6 St i/'T^K^tcr/Aa roSe avaypa^ai tov ypa/i/iarca T^S /SovA^s iv (TT'qKri XiOlvt) Koi KaTadtlvai ifiwoXu.

In C. I. A. II, 61 (358-6 B. C. or 354-2 B. C ), the ypafifmreix: Kara npvTuvuav and the other' secretaries in charge of the state doc- uments are to arrange the treasures in the Chalkotheke according to the nationality of the donors, to register the number, and make transcripts of the lists so registered. When this is done, the secretary of the senate ( ypu/x/xaTeiJs t^s fiovK^^f is to inscribe the lists on a stone tablet and set it up in front of the Chalkotlieke. The secretary of the senate is, further, to make transcripts (^TTOLrjaraaOai avTiypacfm (k twv (TTrjXiov) of the inscriptions that deal v^^ith the treasures of the Chalkotheke. From this time on, the ypufifiartv^ kuto. irpvTaveiav appears regu- larly with the duty of inscribing the decrees of the senate and people on stone tablets and setting them up in specified places. Lists also are set up by him, such as testimonials of Trpo^eviat of persons, patents of citizenship, names of certain officials, names of maidens who bore the peplos at the Panathenaic processions etc. The regular fornuila for the ordinary duties of the ypap-fxarcvi 6 Kara trpvTavtiav is : avaypd\]/ai 8c roSe to iprjipKr/xa t6v ypapLfiaTia tov Kara TrpwTttVttav iv crTrjXr] \i6ivrj koI CTT^crai fv — .

D.), iti whicli we have Mouo-ttios 4>uAao-ios ; (4) C. I. A. in. 1038 (circa 175 A. D.), in which we find EuKapTros ©ew To sum up : we have found (i)that until the year 35S-6 B. C. or 354-2 B.C. an official called 6 ypa/x/iarevs t^s /SovA^s superintends the publication of the i/^77io-/j,ara of tlie senate and assembly and does their bidding in related matters, e.£-., in making copies of decrees previously posted up ; (2) that, between 358-6 B. C. or 354-2 B. C. and 318-7 B. C, either two distinct secretaries with the same fuJictions, or one secretary with two distinct titles performs these duties. In this latter period we find that the duties performed bv the ypaiJ.fX.aTtv<; Trj<; (3ov\^<: and the y/aa/x/xarei's 6 Kara vpvTdveiav are the same,' and agree in their nature with tho^^e assigned by Aris- totle to the ypa/XjU,aT£vs 6 Kara irpvraviLav, and by Harpokration to the ypa/x/x«T£wsT^s /JovXt}? (Dem. xviii,p. 238, 14). Neither of them can be either of the other two secretaries mentioned in Aristotle Ath. Pol. 54. In several'' cases the secretary is called simply 6 yp(x/x/xaTtu's, a fact which points strongly to the existence of only one official. The formulae used to denote their duties are alike in both cases, and undergo like changes simultaneously. There are these reasons for considering them the same person under different titles, and the transition stage, between 358-6 B. C. or 354-2 B. C. and 318-7 B. C, during which the two titles are mentioned with about equal frequency, is quite natural, if we tliink of one name being superseded by the other, i.e.. ypafiiMircv^ t^s (SovKrj^ by ypafXfA.aT€\}<: 6 Kara irpvTavciav.

Sp:crrtariEvS mentioned in Titles and Official Headings of Decrees. Ill the introductory part of the decrees passed l)y the Athenian senate and people, the name of a secretary is mentioned, and alon.n with it, thos.- of the tribe in the prytany when the decree was passed, of the chairman who put the motion, of the person who made the motion in the meeting, and, in some cases, of the archon eponymos for the year. To some decrees, also, there is affixed a title, usually written in large letters at the very top of the stone. This contains, in .some cases, the names of the indi- viduals, or states, affected by the decree, or the general sub- ject of the decree ; in other cases, with or without this, the name of the st-cretary, or archon, or both. The identity of the secretary, mentioned in large letters at the top of the decree, with the person, said in the ordinary heading to have been secretary at the time the decree was passed, is de- termined absolutely by the identitj- of the names in all the ordi- nary inscriptions that contain both. C. I. A. iv 2, 5d (399-8 B. C.) will .serve to illustrate the ordinary title and heading : 1 ' ApiOTOKpaTiyS ^PX'- 2 AvfTi/xaxos KoAwj/^^ev eypafifidrtve. 3 'Apio-Tc'ov Aiyiws. 4 "YiSo^ev Tfj l3ov\rj ' IlavSiov- 5 is fTrpvTaLVCve, Avtrt/xaxos 6 iypafi/JLaiTeve, KXewr CTrecTT- J aret ' v [ Title.

C, will be divided as above. All before cSo^evwill be called the title. All between the title and the name of the mover of the decree will be called the (7///r/rt/ ^^^/f//;/^, and all after the name of the mover, the decree. In discussing decrees th;it belonj^ after 368 H. C, all that i)recedes the decree proper will be called the preamble. Usually near the end of the decree, e.g., in line 8 ff. of the in- scri])tion just cited, there are given the formulae quoted above as indicating the ordinary duties of the secretary in question.

Now just what does the passat:;e mean? In outo? araypd<^€Tut the allusion is cer- tainly to the name of the secretary, and lo nothing else. The ques- tion has lieen raised whether Aristotle soiight proof for his conclu- sion, as to the position in the social world occupied by the sec- retaries in former times, from the mere ])resence of their names on tablets of the specified character, or from the social standing of the persons, whom such tablets show t(i have held the secretary- ship. If the latter be true, the addition, Trpos tuTs o-v/x/xaxtui? kuI Trpo^ei'tats kuI TroAtreiat?, is remarkable. It would indicate that the only sources, available to Aristotle for a.scertaining who had been a8 The Athenian Secretaries, secretaries, were tlie slel;ii ineiiticjiied. It is iiicredihle that at Athens no other records were kept : and, as a matter of fact, all stelai, inscribed at the command of the senate and assembly, ir- resi)ective of the content of the matter itiscribed, wonld have been available to Aristotle for sncli a pnrpo^e. Therefore, we are bonnd to fall back upon the coiiclnsiou tliat Aristotle is proving his point by the ])resence ot the secretary's name, in documents, in which the mere fact of its presence, demonstrated the esteem and confidence, in which each individual secretary was held \)y his fellow citizens ; and indeed this is the only conclu>i(>n for which there is any warrant in the text of AristotL. These documents are stelai on which are inscribed decrees dealing with inlernatioiial questions ((Tvana-^ua, trpoUvua, iroXiTiua). As has been seen above, tlure are two ])laces in decrees in wiiicli the name of the secretary m.iy appear, the title, and the (official heading. \11 ilecrees published I)y state authority, at all times, contain the secretary's name in the official heatling. Therefore, Aristotle cannot possibly have referred to the official heading. Accordingly, without an examination of the facts, we are l)ronght to the conclu-.ion that, in tiie decrees meant b_\' Aristotle, the writing referred to in the ]:)hrase oStos amy/j(i(/>eT(u was in the title. Tiie facts prove tiiis conclusion to l)e correct : for, with only four exceptions, all the intelligible decrees with the name of the secretary in the title, from the earliest times until the year 356-5 B.C., deal with treaties of alliance (a-u|u,/Aa;^tai), laudatory inscriptions in honor of states or individuals {irpo^f.viai.), or articles of citizenship (7ro/\tT€tat). The four exceptions are, C.I. A. IV I, 27b, p. 59; I, 58; IV I, 39a, p. 141; I, 61. They all contain the reports of special committees that have been nominated and instructed hy the people to perform some specific duty. The first three deal with re-as.sessments of tribute, and the fourth witli a revision of the laws. After 356-5 B.C., the secretary's name never appears in the title, and after 363-2 B.C., the first year in which we know that the secretary was an annual officer, only twice, once in 359-8 B.C. (C.I. A. 11, 60), and again in 356-5 B.C. (CI. A. 11 Add., 66b). If it was determined in 363-2 B.C., or even a few years earlier, to omit the 'v\dTTii kui TuAAit travTu avTLyi}d(i)iT(u, That is to Say, the duties of the .secre- tary cojisisted, for the most part, in receiving, keei)ing, and check- ing off with the original copies, the state decrees, which, unless otherwise specifically disposed of, were stored in the Metroon (C.I.

Official Order of the Tribes in the Secretary- ship DURING THE Fourth Century B.C. It has long been known that, in some year between 36S-7 B.C. and 363-2 B.C., the secretary mentioned in the preamble of the decrees, in place of changing with each prytany, came to hold office for the whole year. The exact year of Ihe change has not been definitely established, nor can it be, until more inscriptions of this period have been discovered. In the list given above, the first point to 1)e observed is that, in a period of ten years, one secretary- from each of the ten tribes holds office. This is all but demonstrably true of the period 362-1 to 353-2 B.C. inclusive. It is certainly true of the ten j-ears 342-1 to 343-2 B.C. inclusive, and of the two ten year periods that follow. The second, and more important point to be noticed, is that, for the thirty years 352-1 to 323-2 B.C. inclusive, the tribes, from which the secretaries are selected, follow one another in the official order. This recpiires no demonstration : it can be seen at a L',lance. The official order of the tribes has l)een well known heretofore ; 1)ut it has always Ijecn looked upon as a pure- ly descriptive thing : it has never been known to have had any- thing to do with an annual office. If there were ten men in a board, their names, if published, were seen to be frequently ar- ranged in the official order of their tribes. But that the official order was anything more than a kind of alphabetical method of arranging names, has now for the first time been demonstrated. In the year 322-1 B.C. a new ten years period was begun in the usual way, with a secretarj' from the tril)e Krechtheis, but on the 20th of Boedromion the r,aniian war was ended by a Macedonian garrison entering Mounychia. We have evidence that the demo- cratic metlujcl of i^rocedure was not at once thrown aside. During the whole of this archon-year, the demos as usual attended to the pul)lic l)usiness, and the secretary' contiiuied to publish the de- crees. It is most likeh' that it was at the beginning of the year 321-20 B.C. that the democratic forms were abolished, the twelve thousand of the poorer citizens disfranchised, an oligarchic timoc- 'C.I.A. II, 1S5, 1S6, lS,S. One Psephismata Secretary and One Only. 35 CRETARY- rac}' established, and a fundamental chaiii^e made in the branch of the service to which the secretary' belonged. This much said, it merely remains to make some simple re- marks on the list _i;iveii above, and to substantiate the restorations suggested, In tlie first place it is shown beyond the shadow ui a doubt that the view taken earlier in regard to the number of the officials de.'ding with the publication of the decrees is correct. Before 363 B.C., there is absolutel^^ no evidence to show that there existed, at any one time, more than one secretary with this dul>-. Between 363-2 B.C. and 322-1 ]}.C., there is only one secretary mentioned in the formulae of the decrees ; he holds oflTice f )r a year, and has two titles, ypufifjiaTtv^ t^s /3ouA»5s, and ypu/X|auT£i)s Kara irpvTaveiav. The second is a new title which gradually dis- places the first. This is incontestible ; for it is certain that the person whose duty is specified in the decree, is identical with the one, wliose name is given in the preamble of the decree ; and the person, named in the preamble of a decree, and in the same decree given the title ypa/x/naTeus t^s /iovA^?, is shown 1)\' his tribe to be a member of the same system of tribe rotation as the person named in the preamble of another decree, and in the same decree given the title ypafiixarev'; Kara rrpvTaveiav. The secretaries follow one another in the official order of the tribes they represent whether they are called y/3u/x/X(xr£ts ttjs /iouAr}?, or ypa/x/xdrcts Kara TrpvTuvetdV . Indeed, the same conclusion seems to be forced upon us by what Aristotle' says of the ypa/x/iurei's Kara irpvTvvetav ; for, manifesth', ' Tliose who tiiaiiitaiii that ypa/jLixaTevs rijs ^ov\tjs and ypafj./j.are{>^ KarcL ■n-pvravelav denote different ]jersons ai\' obliLjed to assume a m'stake on the part of .Vristotle.

The title y/ja/i.ju,ar£vs kutoi irpvTavdav I take to mean, the 'secretary wlio held office ])rylany after prytany', i.e., ' for a seriesof prytanies ', and cite, in support of this interpretation of kuto. TrfiVTavetav, the common phrases kuO' rffiipav, ' d.ay after day', 'day by day', 'daily', and Kara /x^i/a ' month after month '. There was no i)ossil)ility of there existing al Athens such a thing as a professional class of secretaries ; for no individual could hold the office more than twice in a period of twent\' years, and, as a matter of fact, in the whole period of Athenian history, there is not a singh-' instance of the same person holding the ofllcc a second time. As to the body from which the secretary was elected by lot (vDv 8c yiyove KXr)pu}T(')<;) : — in the year 341-0 B.C., the .secretary for the year was ' Oi'7/(ri7r7ros 'Apa^vywos (C.I. A. 11, 1 16), of the tribe Aigeis. Now, as it happens, we have a list of the senators of the tribe Aigeis for that year (Dittenberger, Sylloge 334 A ; Bidl v, p. 36ifF.), and ' Oi/r/crtTTTros ' Apa<^r/i/tos is not among the number.

(See E. Goliob, Wiener Studien iii, p. 2i)9ff. ). There is left the pos- sibilit}' that the fiftieth was the secretary for the year ; but, as the name was lacking on the stone when set up, it seems to me very unlikely that one of the officers for the year would be passed by intentionally. I, therefore, hold that the .secretary was not a senator, but was elected by lot from among the other members of the tribe. Two lists of the officers of the senate may here be considered. (i) C.I. A.

Excepting the year 34S-7 B.C. itself, 344-3 B.C. is the only one available within this period, the name of the archon for which fits the laciuia. 340-9 B.C. I have added a deme to the name of the secretary given in C.I. A 11, 117 from C.I A. ir, Sogc, 1. 71 (^325-4 B.C.), in which a person named AT^/ioo-TpaTos ' kiririrov Kvdr'ij}l)H)%, whom I take to l)e a son of the secretary for 340-9 B.C., is mentioned. The father's name is a pure conjecture. 33S-7 B.C. In C.I. A. II, 121, is mentioned a secretary named 't>t[At]7r7ras 'Arritj!) In C.I.A. 130, the following .secretary is given, - - EtJTeiuos. The latter inscription is dated hy Koehler in .some year between 356-5 B.C. and 336-5 B.C. (C.I.A. II. p. 58). The deme EiVeaios belongs to the tribe Akamantis. During this period there are onlv two years to which it could be ascribed, viz., 348-7 B.C., and 338-7 B.C. I lia\-e placed it in 338-7 H.C., becau,se, after restoring the common name, Antiphon, for the father of the secretary, EtVeaTos e.vactly fills the remaining space. 336-5 B.C. s.vTTf.Ttauiv is the only deme of the tribe Kekropis that fills the lacuna in C.I.A. iv 2, 128c. The name of the sec- retary's father [.M£/\r/(r]a^S/joi' I have restored from C.I.A. 11, 943, in which the name MeA»/(mv8pos z.vTTf.TiUMv occurs anioug th'- Statrvyrat' for 325-4 B.C. As the 8tair»jTut were all sixty \ears of age, it is not at all unlikely that he had a son old enough to be secretary in 336-5 B.C. 335-4 B.C. The secretary's name is given thus : ITpd^ci/os [II ] I have fillel up the lacuna from C.I.A. II Nov. Add., 5^7!) (2S7-6 B.C.). In this inscription a man named Ilpo^tfos \\v\ay6pov 'A;^£/jSoi'(rios inakis the motion. He may have been the same person or perhaps his grandson. The name fits the lacuna exactl}-. (Since writing the above, an in- scription has been decii)liered by A. Wilhelm, (.see above p. 37) which contains the name as restored, with the title ypafjLfjLaTtv;o-ojv[os] [ s] €ypi/a/xaT£)'£. Ill 334-3 B.C., Aiaiitis luusl have furnished the sccrelai"}', and, of the tribe Aiantis, there are onl\' two denies, 'S\t\tlnZy\uA?;/j£t'i;, that fill the lacuna exacth-. 331-0 B.C. In C.I. A. IV 2, 115I), a man from Kollytos is said to have 1)een secretary. Koehler dales the inscription in 342-1 B.C. The decree refers to the reception accorded certain ambas- .sadors from Athens at Ejiidaninos and Apollonia, and commends the jj[Ood-will shown them by two citizens, one of Hpidamiio.s, and the other of Apollonia. The motion is made by a man named noA.i'£xtKT[os 2<^r;r]T(.os. In 343-2 li.C, a man named IIoAi'tuKTos is known to have accomi)aiiied Demosthenes on an embassy to the Peloponnese and Acarnania. Koehler assumes that this is the emliassy referred to, and dates the inscription in 342-1 B.C., because the denie of the secretary will not allow him to place it in 343-2 B.C. The deiiie of the secretary, in the light of present knowledge, ns little allows il to belong to 342-1 li.C. It must ])elong to either 35i-.C. or 331-0 B.C., and from the fact that 111 the preamble we find IkkXiytUi kv Aioi'L'aov, it must be dated in 331-0 B.C. ; for this part of the preamble is ibnnd in no other de- cree before 33S B.C., and is just as much an anachronism in the year a.ssigned b\- Koehler as it wouhl be in 351-0 B.C. 328-7 15. C. liy assigning C.I. A. 11, 236, and C.I. A. iv 2, 178b, to the same year, the archon and the name of the secretary may be restoreti in the former, and the denie of the secretary in the latter.' In both decrees the restorations suit the lacunae. i^ 12. The Fifteen Year,s of Coxeu.sion between 322-1 B.C. AND 307-6 B.C.

No such title beinj^ found in Aristotle's IloAtTtta, it has l)cen commonly held that the t)ffice did not c«)nie into exist- ence till after 325 B.C. This view has been jiositively disproved l)v the list of " Milelu'cier des Rat/ws t^iveii ai)ove (p. 3; The fact that he is not mentioned by Aristotle indicates one of two thin*^s, eitlier that his duties were of ver\- little iinportance, r that he was not a permanent official. His appearance in or .i.i.-^ -4 H.C.. and a^ain fifteen years later, precludes the latter alternative. When the state of affairs at Athens was normal, the official who attended to the registration of state documents woulil have had ceremonial rather than actual duties to perform. It was not an unusual thini; at Athens to appoint an individual or committee to attend to the codification of the laws. The dmypaf^cis tu>v rofjLwv, accused by Lysias' client in speech xxx, assumed importance only through the disorganization that attended the last years of the Peloponnesian War, and the overthrow of the democracy. vSo it was with the avaypucjievi; tCov ypaixfidnov. Before the Laiiiiaii War, he was probable a subordinate to the yfjufifiartv^ Kara TTfn'Tni'ti'av and did clerical work in the Metroon. The oflicial eVi ra i/'r/^tV/xaTu was in all likelihood his colleague. Both are probablj- included among the aAA.01 y/ja/x/xarew ot iwl T0T5 8r)Hoaioi'; ypdiifjuunv mentif)lied in C.I. A. II, 61. The i-eorgani/.:ition of the st;ite in the form of an oligarclu' brought about a reversal in the positions of the avaypa^ivs and the ypa/x/xuTei's KaTa.iTpvTavt.Lav. Henceforth, the sec- retar}' was to be a prytany official — a member of the presiding prytany most probal)ly. The registrar took fi-om him the duty of l)ublishing the decrees of the .sena';^' and assembly. This is clearly indicated by the pre.sence of the name and title of the registrar in the preamble of the decrees, along with, and taking precedence over, the name of the secretary, and more clearly still by the fact that in the decree itself the umyp(i(/)£i'?, not the ypap.fiaTeviv<; was ill the past an otTicer of the .senate as a whole and therefore annual. He remained still an annual officer, and for the three years of the oligarchy we possess the names of the three registrars. 42 Tlu' Alhiiiia)! Secretaries.

Ill the year 308-7 B.C., Demetrios Poliorketes got possession of the Peiraeus ami Demetrios of Phaleroii fled from Athens. It wiis not till the year 307-6 I>.C., however, that MounycJiia was taken and handed over to the Athenians and full liberty restored to the 8r;/xos. Out of gratitude to their deliverer, the Athenians added the two tribes, Antigonis and Demetrias, to the original number, and gave them the first and second places, respectivel}', in the official order. In 307-6 B.C., they for the first time had their representatives in the state offices. To llieni were assigned denies drawn t'rom the old tribes. The names of all these re- allotted denies have not yet been agreed U]K)n. Certain of them' have, however, and of these alone I i)urpo.se to make use in the investigations which follow. ' Mr. V. O.

Diodonis .Siculus carries us only tlirouj^li tli'j year 302-1 H.C., and the newly discovered frag- ini-iit of the 'Parian Chronicle fails us at jnactically the same time ; so that from the year 293-2 H.C. on, we have to C( ct an archoii-list from the stray references in ihe later Greek v\riters and the names found in the Inscriptions. A jjflance at the lists of archons offered hy Meier in his Com- mcntiitio I']piQ;niphica Sccumia, 1)\' Neubauer in his Commcnta- tioncs J\pii^rap/iiiac, by Dumoiil in his I'^ssai and /urstt's Kponymi(]HcSy by Unjier in P/iiloloi^Ns, Ilomolle in the Bul- letin, and Schoeffer in the /\i//ly- ir/ssoTca Rcal-Iincyclopadic will satisfy anyone tliat unanimity has not \et been attained. Neverthele.ss, there are certain groups of two or more archons whose order, if not dales, no one can dispute. Obviously, it is upon the secretaries, who held office for the years designated by these groups, that we must depend for evidence as to the co- lu- ation or non-continuation of the official order of their tribes g the three centuries under consideration.

In all tlit 'e groups cxcc])t the last (XI), the tribes of the secretaries follow one another in the official order. Grou]) X is the only one in which one might chal- lenge the disposition of the archons. If one does, he can cut it out altogether : he certaiidy cannot advance any arguments for a different disposition. All the other grouj'is, except \'III, agree in their arrangeiiKMit with that given in the Pauh'-Wis.sowa Real- Encyc. In regard to VIII, Koehler's authority for the reading of C.I. A. Ill, 1014, seemed decisive. The dates to which these groups belong can also be assigned in a general sort of way. They are as follows : V, 242-1 B.C. VI, 188-7 li-C. VII, 169-8 B.C. VIII, 129-8 B.C. I. 303-2 B.C. II, 290-89 B.C. III, 283-2 B.C. IV, 275-4 B.C. IX, II 9-8 B.C. X, 137-6 to 104-3 B.C. XI, 33-2 B.C. ria.-.rrrr.mrrTnr- r-i i i 48 T/ie Atlicnian Secretaries, It will be seen that I-X are distributed with considerable regu- larity over the third and second centuries l)erore Christ. Of these groups, X is the only one that requires explanation. The list of names at the ri,i;lit hand side is copied without alteration from DiiUctm xvir (1^93), p. r46f. It contains the names of Athenian priests of .Serapis for the island of Delos. It is to be noticed, though it was not noticed by the editor, that the priests follow one another in tlie official order of the tribes to which they belong. If there were two priests for one j'ear, they were both chosen from the same tribe. (vSee 137-6 B.C., 120-19 B.C., 116-5 B.C. and especially 113-2 B.C.). Just as the official order distributed the secretaryship among the triljes, so it distributed the priesthood. But the analogy is clo.ser still ; for in any given year the priest of Serapis and the secretary came from the same tribe. This is shown b}^ three correspondences : 1 (125-4 B-C. and 124-3 B.C.). Nikias and Isigenes are shown by C.I. A. in, 1014 and Bull, xvi, (1892) p. 152, to have been joint archons for the year immediately following that of Ja,son. The secretarj- for Jason's year belonged to the ninth tribe, Hippothontis (C.I. A. 11, 460). Therefore, since the secretary for the next year but one after that of Nikias and Isigenes belonged to the twelfth tribe, Attalis (C.I.A. in, 1014 and 11, 471, lines i and 6), it is certain that the secretary for Nikias and Isigenes' archonship belonged to the tenth tribe, Aiayitis. Now, from an in- scription published in ' k&y]v. 11, p. 134, and quoted by Homolle in Bull. X, (1886) p. 17, 11. I, we find that the priest of Serapis for the year of Nikias and Isigenes' archonship was ^r]^y]rpio% 'E/a/xun'ou Mapn^toi'tos of the tribe Aiajitis. 2 (109-S B.C. ). The secretary who held office for the archon year of Jason /xera IXoAJkAcitoi/ was 'ETrtc^ui/r;? ' ETrK^ai/ov Aa/xTTT/aeu's of the tribe Erec/ii/icis (Q.l.K. li, 461). Tlie priest of Serapis for the same year was 'A Ktjc^ktu'ws (Gen.) of the tribe £"r^r/i///m (Bull. VI, (1 882) p. 323). 3 (105-4 and ^^4""3 B.C.). It is shown I)y C.I.A. il, 465, lines 28 and 33 that vSerapion followed immediately after Menoites in the archonsliip. Therefore, the secretary for Serapion's archonship being 2ot/>o[KA.]>5s A77/x7;[Tpi'o]u 'I^to-naS?;! of the sixth tribe, Akaman- Order of Secretaries^ Tribes the Official Order. 49 ■i regu- if these ; list of 11 from [henian loticed, low one belong. ,eii from .C. and Ued the esthood. priest of This is enes are to have r that of ith tribe, etary for )elonged , lines I [sigenes' bni an in- l)niolle in Irapis for archon liTTTpevs of (rapis for Irechtheis 1.65, lines Ics in the :honship Lkaman- tis, the secretary for Menoites' year must have l^elonged to the fifth tribe, Ptolemais. Bull, vii, (1883) p. 368, shows that the jiricst of Serapis for the same jear was 'l7r7rdi'tKo[s 'IttttJovikov 4>Av£Js of the tribe Ptolemais. Now, since we have seen that the tribes in tlie priesthood fol- lowed the official order for the whole period, and that in three different years well distrilnited over the period the tribe of the priest and the tribe of the secretary coincided, it follows directly that the tribes in the secretaryship for the whole period also fol- lowed the official order, and coincided with the tribes in the priest- hood tliroughout. Therefore, as a period for which the off.cial order of tlie tribes in the secretaryship can Ije demonstrated, we may set down the 34 years between 138-7 B.C. and 104-3 B.C. The statement of the conclusions arrived at by a consideration of groups I-X is, that, wherever during the 200 years between 304-3 B.C. and 104-3 B.C. we can determine the order of the secretaries, that order is the official order of the tribes to which they belong. A consideration of group XI will add a clause to this statement. It is obvious at once that, at the time to which this group l:)elongs, a time customarily fixed at about 30 B.C., the tribes of the secretaries no longer followed the official order. Therefore, our new clause is: and that, when next after 104-3 B.C., or rather, as will appear later, after 96-5 B.C., /. e., in 30 B.C., we can determine the order of the secretaries, that order is not the official order. Groups I-X — i c, the periods during wdiich we can determine the official order of the tribes in the secretaryship — being so luimerous and so well distrilnited over the 200 years under con- sideration, there i.s ^ prima facie probability that the official order remained unbroken throughout the whole period. That proba- bility I purpo,se to make a certainty l)y using the following list of secretaries and archons disposed upon the assumption that it was a certainty. 50 The Athenian Secretaries. tn •75 f3 t; CI W -= t/5 ■::: -r 5 .'£ « ^ c bo ^ -v, "^ t:: 5 ■-£?=: ti c tc u ^ -^ ;:r ti t- ^- r^ vW ^/v «-• >^ »> „ rr, *^ ■•« ^^ r- r^ !> w/, •"* ^ ^ ■— c: i; •-- .^ 5 C :i; C ^2 5 w^ .i 5 3 •r. lO Tj- ro I I I O O O to CO rO o ■X.

A. ii, 985D, 1. 13 and 14), and again under the second archc^nshij") of Argeios in the following year. On this point Honiolle (Bull, iv, (18S0) p. 191, n. 2), says : ' " L" anncc suivante, sous le deuxienie arcliontat d' Argeios, il reniplit les nienies fonctions ; mais il s' agil evidemment ici de la premiere cTn/xe'Aeia, puisqu 'on n" a pas ccrit iTnfi(.\r]Tov to Stvrtpov." This objection lo the second cVt/xeAeia will not hold ; for in C.I. A. II, 9S5D, 1. 30, there is no to Sevrepov added to distinguish the second archonship of Argeios. The secretary for ihe archonship o{ Medeios, between which and the Second archonship of Argeios there fell three years, was *iXtW *iAt'wro5 " EAeuo-tVios, of the tribe Hippothontis (C.I. A. 11, 467). The secretarj' for Argeios' second year, theref)re, l)elonged to the tribe Ercrhtlicis, and this i.- the tril)e required for 97-6 B.C. by an unbroken official order from 304-3 B.C. on. The coincidence between the tribe postulated for the secretary by the unbroken continuation of the official order, and the tribe which the inscriptions show to have held the secretaryship, in any one of the four years, would alone be sufficient, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, to make the unbroken con- tinuation of the official order all but certain. No uncertainty whatsoeve-r remains when all fi)ur are considered together ; for, although there might be a diffi^renee of opinion as lo whether Xeiiokles, Jason and the second Argeios belonged to the years 16S-7 B.C., 125-4 B.C., and 97-6 B.C., or to 167-6 B.C., 126-5 B.C., and 96-5 P>.C. res[)ectively, yet, when we string the three years on the official order of their tribes (which official order groups VII, VIII, IX, and X given aI)ove demonstrate), the in- lervals between the figures of each set of years make the former set alone possible. For instance, if Jason were put in 126-5 B.C., as Bailer supposed, Xenokles would have to be put in 169-8 B.C.

It is perfectly evident that the persons said in the ])reand:)les of decrees to have been secretaries were, during the tiiird and second centuries, as during tlie fourth, all holders of one and the same apxv- This the official order of their tribes proves. It is ecpially as evident tliat the person, srud in tlie preaml)Ie to have l)een sec- retary, is identical with the secretary who had the decree pid)- lislied ; for the only object sought in putting his name in the preamble was to certifj' tliat the publication was made I)y him and was therefore official. When, therefore, we finil menticjued two different titles in connection with the publication of decrees it must be that they both belong 10 the same official.

In them, along with the nanifs of the prj'tanes and their officers, ai^jjear those of the rlariTot, and among the lat- ter, in the following inscriptions, is found the ypayu/Marfus /JovArys Kill 8r//xoii : C.I. A. HI, 1029 {167-8 A. D. \ 1030 (168-9, A.D.), 1031 (169-70 A.I).), 1032(170-1 A.D.), 1034 (170-1 A.D.), 1040(183-4 A.D. ), 1041 (185-8 A. D.), 1042, 1044, and 104S. In- stead of ypafXfinTtv<; fiov\^<; kul 8r//xoi;, in C.I.A. Ill, IO38 ( 175 ? A.D.) and 1045, is found the al)l)reviated title ypu/x/xaTtLis /JovA^s. There can be no doubt as to the identity of the two. The OUL' inscription in which the title yfjafjLfj.aTev<; t/Js fSovXr/^ Kal Tov 8r//Aov occurs, outside of the ' catalo^^i prytanum ", is C.I.A. 11, 488 (rd)oul 30 B.C. ). Here, at the end iA a decree, is read: [rojriro TO [i/zryt^trr/jia Iv Mwpi'Ji'r/ 6 ctti T[oui (>Tr\(.iT(L<; (TTfjnTrjyo}s Kat 6 y/ja/u,/xuT£u? t^s] /iouA^s kol TOV S/iixov. What they are t(j do with the \l/rf<^uTix.a is not known. It is, therefore, apparent that there existed at Athens, during the fourth, third, .second, and first centuries before Christ, and dur- ing the second century ailer Christ, an official called ypaixfiaTevs ^ovXrji KUL S>//A,ow. Was the apxv held by tiie persons denoted by this title the same during the whole period ? There can be no reasonable doubt that it was. If so, it is evndent that it was an ainiual office. After Christ it certainly was ; otherwise, the name of its holder would not appear among those of the dio-tTot. Now, among the ata-iToi there is found the name of no officer, who in the last four centuries before Chri.st is known to have held office for the time of one prytany only. Any that were prytany officers in earlier times, c.^., ypa/jL/xuTexx; fSovXevrwv, are mentioned among the prytanes themselves. On the other hand, among the dtVtrot are found several officer-;, who in the centuries before Christ were J'early magistrates, C.ff., ypa/xp.arev'i kiito. TrpvravtMV, dvTiypaffiiv'i. These facts go to show that prytany offices remained prytany offices, and antuial offices remained annual offices throughout this whole period. The inference may therefore be drawn that, dur- ing the fourth century, B.C., the y/):i/u./iar£us )8ou.\>}s Kat 8rip.ov was an animal magistrate. Hence, at the time Aristotle wrote the 'AdrjvaLuyv IloAtTeta, there existed at Athens a j'early secretary with The Secretary Wlio Read tJie Documents, 69 L-ent- Lanes t liit- 68-9, L.D.), In- ted by be no was an le name Now, ;) in the fiice for icers in ong the Tirol are St were prytanj^ lout this jat, dur- ,ou was ote the ,ry with that name. The ypa/i/xarciis fSovXrji kuI 8>;/xou must, therefore, be one of the three described by iiim. He is clearly not the first. Tiie second had the laws under his care and had nothing whatever to do with the ])rytaiies, He can only be the tlii ' the one of whom Aristotle says (.\th. Pol. 54, 5) : xiipoTovil Sk i 6 8^/ios yfxiixiXdTiiL T()V avayvaxTo/iivov ui'tw (i.e. tuI 8»//i,(i>) Kal rrj j3ov\yj, kuI ouros ovbcvo'i hm Kvfjiof dW ij rov di'n.yi'aivui. Why then is his name found in the 4th century ' cataloi^i pry- tanum' } The same question must be asked in tiie case of the (li/rtypiie^eik. The 'ivriypi^tv^ jjresented to tile people, at the end of each pr\-tany, the accounts of the monej- received and expentied by the prytanes. The y^ja/x/Aareus liovXrf<; kuI StJ/aow read to the peo- ple, at I he request of the presidin.; prytanes, all documents such as Tr[)ol3ovXtvfj.'LTa, i/^r;<^ur/xara, etc. What is there surjirising in the presence of their names among those of the prytanes adjudged to have acquitted themselves best during the year? Their reports and attainments would, no doubt, have done much to secure the honours for the prytanes in question. It is noteworthy, in this connection, that the ypa/i/xiTcus f3ovXrji K//u,ou was chosen by popular election, not bj' lot. Not every citizen could nuike his voice heard throughout the ekklesia, and the 8riiio<: nuist at least hear the proposals of the prytanes. When the secretary under consideration is bidden to read a document, he is usually called simply o y/ja/x/xareJ? (C.I.A. ir, 114A, 1. gf., Aeschin. Ill, 100, IX-m. XX, p. 4S5, Thucyd. \'II, (o, where the r^s TroAeojs is bracketed by Herwerden, Stalil and liude, Sandys Ath. Pol.,Ch. 54, 511.). In ( Pint. ) Lycurg. 841 F he is called ypufjLfi.aTev'i tjj? ttoAcu)?. Iu A. Wilhelni, Rericlit, p. 6f. he is called y/ja/x/Aareu?

In those of the first set, this name is wanting. The presumption is that he did not exist in the fourth century. In the three following centuries he was a member of the ])residing prytany (C.I. A. ii, 329). It i.s unlikely that he was elected by lot. His associate, the Ta/xtas, certainly was not (C.I. A. 11, 431). His duties were ras ^vcrtas dvav irctfras ra?

The date, at which the beginning of the twenty year period must be fixed, lies between 407-6 B.C. and 403-2 B.C. 406-5 B.C., the first of a Panathenaic Penteteris, is privia facie the most probable year; for, as we are dealing with the .secretary of the joint board of treasurers, twenty years, starting from 385-4 B,C., the first year^ ' This inscription is now dated precisely. ^SecC.I..\.

Honn, iSHo, p. 12 IT. ) and liy Paul I'anske ( I)e niaj^istratibns Atticis cjui saeculo a. Chr. n. (piarto pecunias publicas curabaut. Leipz. Stud. XIII, 1S90, 1>. 4 IT.) f)r the consoUdation of the boards. The evidence for this date is ; that C.I. A. iv 2, 642b compels us to assume that the boirds were already jtnned in 404-3 li.C. ; that Andocides, l)e Myst. 77 refers to a joint board in 405-4 B.C. ; that the treasur- ers of Athens for tlie year 407-6 B.C. do not, as usual, name their successors: tliat, at the end of the year 407-6 B.C., of the jjold and silver offerings cared lor by the treasurers of Athena, all kept in the Pronaos, and many of those kept in the Par- thenon and Helcatompedon, were handed over to the Ilel- lenotamiai to meet the expenses incurred in filling; out the fleet to flight at Arginousai ; that the Old Temple of .\theiia, in the Opisthodomos of which were stored the precious t'nini^s cared for by the treasurers of the Other Gods, was l)urnt down in the early part of the year ; that what remained of the offerings after the fire, was put, with what was left of Athena's treasures, in the Hekatompedon ; that the treasurers both of Athena and of the Other Gods, at the end of their term of office in the early jiart of 406-5 B.C., were lying in jirison on a ch.irs^e, of negligence we may suppose, in connection with the burning of the temple. When the treasures were for the great part gone, aiul when those that remained were all storeil in one room, it is not surprising that a single board of caretakers was thought sufiicient. So, when the construction of the Long Walls, in 393 B.C.. and the peace of Antalkidas, in 387-6 B.C., brought commercial j)ros- perity to Athens, and Thriisyboulos, in 390-89 B.C., won back tribute-paying dependencies for the city, the administration of the finances would demand a board of treasurers to replace the Hel- lenotamiai. Moreover, upon the rebuilding of the Old Temple of Athena, alluded to by Aristophanes in Plutus 1191 ff. (3S8 B.C.), a board of treasurers would be required to care for the money, and gold and silver offerings again undoubtedly stored 74 The Athenian Secretaries. there. It is not surprising that 3S7-6 B.C., lieing the last year of a Panatheiiaic Peiiteteris, and the hist in the .second set of tribe ro- tations, ended the period of the joint board of treasurers and of the reverse of the official order of the secretaries' tribes. After 3S7-6 B.C. came a period, we know not of \v'hat length, in wl'ich, neither the reverse of the official order, nor the official order itself, guided the tribes in their turns to the secretaryship of the treasurers of Athena. This is indicated by the tribe of the secretar}' for 376-5 B.C., Eu^t'as Ileto-tov Kr/TTios, of the tribe Leontis (C.I. A. II, 670,671). In the year 351-0 B.C., however, as the following Hst shows, we encounter a new system. Year B.C.

When this system was introduced, and how long it lasted, we caiuiot even conjecture. The treasury boards in the latter jiart of the fourth century B.C. lost nuicli of theii former importance, owing to the vestment of supreme financial authority in the persons of new officers.
