Starting from an inscription found during the Swedish excavations at Kalaureia (Ath. Mitth., 1895, p. 295), he gives the best explanation of this ἀμφικτιονία rightly rejecting the theory of a Mycenaean maritime league.

H. S., 1883, p. 30, Cit. and Bish., vol. ii., No. 235. Cp. Dittenberger, Inschr. von Olympia, No. 110.

page 116 note † Κόπρος the name of an Attic deme belonging to the tribe Hippothontis (see Böckh on C. I. G. 145 = C. I. A. i., 185) is not connected with this class of names, though Aristophanes plays on it in Eq. 899, Eccl. 317. It is clearly connected with the hero Κοπρεύς (see Roscher's Lexicon, s.v.).
