The following is a collection of twenty-two epitaphs observed by me during travels in Boiotia between 1965 and 1970. They represent mainly central Boiotia and the Copaïs; the eastern plains have been less productive. The texts are presented in catalogue form following the same geographic sequence as IG vii. The main interest of these brief texts is, of course, prosopographic, and short comments on the names are added as relevant. All dimensions of stones are given in metres, and of letters in centimetres.
The publication of such a group of humble epitaphs needs no excuse: the very perishability of these stones makes it the incumbent duty of the field-worker to preserve, however imperfectly, the record of all such material as he observes. In 1965 men were at work with sledge-hammers breaking up ancient worked blocks in heaps at Erimókastro, heaps such as those which contained nos. 1 and 2.
