Some Unpublished ‘Catalogi Paterarum Argentearum’

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  18 October 2013

Extract

By the kind permission of Mr. Leonardos I am enabled to publish the following inscriptions, all of which are in the Epigraphic Museum at Athens. They belong to the class of ‘Catalogi Paterarum Argentearum,’ of which the already published inscriptions are collected in the Corpus Inscriptionum Atticarum, Vol. II., Pt. 2, Nos. 768–776, 776 b; Vol. IV., Pt. 2, Nos. 768 b–776 c (pp. 187–192).

I have looked in vain for any indication of the places at which Nos. II, V., and VII. were found, but as all the other members of the series were discovered on the Acropolis, it is safe to infer the same for these three fragments also.

page 200 note 5 Köhler indeed in editing the Corpus insc. Attic, still hesitated: but the difficulty he felt about accepting Schenkl's explanation (cf. Lipsius in Meier-Schömann-Lipsius 621, note 373) rests upon the assumption that the προστάτης can only be brought if a freedman enrols himself under a patron ἀποστασίου δίκη τίς ἐστι κατὰ τῶν ἀπελευθερωθέντων δεδομένη τοῖς ἀπελευ other than his former master. In reality it covers a much wider field. Cf. also Clerc, op. cit. 292.

page 200 note 7 Such appears to me one of the natural results of an acquittal in a δίκη ἀποστασίου I do not quite understand M. Th.

page 202 note 1 Like Clerc (op. cit. p. 290) I am unable to understand Wachsmuth's note (Stadt Athen, ii. 151 n. 2): since, however, he speaks of a ‘Freilassung durch Loskauf, die vor Gericht in Form einer χαλκέας (φάσιν εἶναι) τοὺς τὸν σίδηρον ἐργαζομένους erfolgte’ there may be some reference to a theory such as I have above stated.

page 203 note 6 σκυλοδέψιος occurs in [Dem.] xxv. 781. 18; the edd. restore it in Hesych. (s.v.) for the MS. σκυλοδέψης More common is χαλκῆς, κεραμῆς, σκυλοδέψαι e.g. Aristoph. Av. 490 σκυτῆς, βαλανῆς, κ.τ.λ. σκυλάδεψος, σκυλαδέψης Eccl. 420. Eustath. quotes by-forms γποδηματάριος

Another sense of the word is given by Schol. Plat, ad l.c. p. 402 ταλασιουργοί οἱ ἱστουργοἱ. The word has not hitherto been known in the feminine.

The woollen manufacture was considered as belonging naturally, we might almost say essentially, to the women; see Plato, Ion 540c; but especially Suid. s.v. κάπηλος πονη

page 209 note 2 Pollux vii. 193; Lucian, Hermot. c. 58. Cf. Suid. and Etym. Magn. s.v. The κάπηλοι were proverbially knavish, as we learn from Greek writers from Aeschylus downwards; Wallon, (Mém. de l'Acad. des Inscr. et Belles-Lettres vol. XIX. 2, p. 271Google Scholar, n. 2), calls attention to the fact that ‘chez les chrétiens, le métier de κάπηλος fut regardé comme tellement vil, qu'il était défendu è l'évêquê d'accueillir l'offrande de ceux qui l'exerçaient (Constit. apost. iv. 6, t. i. p. 294).’

page 209 note 3 In Plato, Resp. ii. 373c the κουρεῖς appear in company with παιδαγωγοί, τίτθαι, τροφοί, κομ μώτριαι Plut, de Garnil. 509?, refers to their proverbial talkativeness, which is also alluded to in Archelaus'celebrated reply preserved in Plut. Apophthegm, p. 177A ᾿Αδολέσχου κουρέως ἐρωτήσαντος αὐτὸν ῾πῶς σε κείρω ᾿῾σιωπῶν ᾿ ἔφη Cf. Athen, iii. 98E; Aristoph. Plutus, 338; Av. 1441.

page 209 note 7 Moeris, s.v.; Suid. s.v. ὀ κεράμις μισθοῦ φέρων The latter quotes Menander Ραπιζομένη for ἀμφορεαφόροσ (I do not understand why it appears as an adjective in L. and S. ) and Aristophanes ῾´ Ηρωεσ for ἀμφορεαφορεῖν (Arist. Frag. 285. 3). Neither L. and S. nor the Thesaurus refers to Pollux vii. 130.

page 209 note 8 Ασκοφόρος ἀσκοφορεῖν occur only in Bekker Anecd. Graec. 214; Etym. Magn. p. 155; Suid. s.v. τὸ ἐν ταῖς Διονυσιακαῖς πομπαῖς τοὺς ἀστοὺς . . . ἀστοὺς κατὰ τῶν ὤμων φέρειν καὶ οἰ τοῦτο ποιοῦντες ἀσκοφόροι καλοῦνται(Bekker l.c.).

page 210 note 2 The word bears the sense of messenger in Aesch. Prom. 942; Soph. Phil. 497; Aristot. Eth. N. vii. 6 Κολωνέτας It appears to be used for one who waits at table in Athen, x. 420E τὸν οἰνοχόον τὸν διάκονον τὸν μάγειρον

page 210 note 3 See note on inscription no. IV. iii. 1. 16.

page 210 note 4 In one case only, I believe, is the term used for a boy—Insc. VI. ii. 10. 11.

page 210 note 5 De Cor. xviii. 162, p. 269. 20; dé fals, leg. xix. 109, p. 371. 21 πανοῦργος καὶ θεοῖς ἐχθροσ καὶ γραμματεὺσ Lept. xx. 178, p. 506. 20.

page 211 note 1 xxx. 36. Cf. Antiphon, vi. 35.

page 211 note 2 The word occurs only in Plut. Pericl. 12 οἰ δὲ κατὰ γῆν ἀμαξοπηγοὶ καὶ ζευγοτρόφοι καὶ ἠνιοχοι καὶ καλωστρόφοι καὶ λινουργοὶ καὶ σκυτοτόμοι καὶ ὀδοποιοὶ καὶ μεταλλεῖσ it is to be noticed that the company in which they here appear is far from being aristocratic. The verb ζευγοτροφῶ appears in Pollux viii. 132 ζευγήσιόν τι τέλος οἰ ζευγοτροφοῦντες ἐτέλουν

In reviewing the various occupations mentioned in the ‘catalogi paterarum agentearum,’ I have purposely omitted the στιχιστήσ of Inscr. I. 7, being unable to say anything as to his function, and feeling uncertain of his very existence.

page 226 note 1 In the former case this would be one of the latest examples, if not absolutely the latest, of the representation of the pseudo-diphthong ει by a simple E. With reference to this pseudodiphthongal ει Meisterhans (Gramm. der Att. Inschr. 3 § 10. 15. p. 20) says: ‘Der Uebergang von der Schreibung E zu der heute üblichen Schreibweise EI vollzieht sich in einem mehr als zweihundertjährigen Zeitraum; denn die ersten, freilich ganz vereinzelten Spuren der diphthongischen Schreibweise führen in den Anfang des VI. Jahrhunderts hinauf: ᾿ Ειμί neben μελεδαίν Εν (Infinitiv, c. 570V. Chr.), und die letzten Spuren der monophthongischen Schreibweise lassen sich verfolgen bis in die zweite Hälfte des IV. Jahrhunderts: ἀποδώς Εν (Infinitiv, 334 v. Chr.).’ Cf. C.I.A. i. 437.8
