^{page 64 note 4} In the Inscr. from Halaesa, I.G. xiv. 352 we find streams, ditches and olive-trees serving as boundaries. The trees were in some cases stamped with special marks.

^{page 64 note 5} Cf. Hermann, De Terminis eorumque religione apud Graecos, p. 35. In modern Greece a natural boundary such as those mentioned in the text is generally held to be all that is needed. If special distinctness is required, a row of large stones is set up, and any attempts to move them arouse great indignation. Boundary-quarrels sometimes lead to serious disturbance. The writer not long ago heard of a case in Laconia where the rival claimants entrenched themselves on either side of the line, surrounded by armed bands ot friends and kinsfolk, and soldiers had to be called in to keep the peace.
