The restoration proposed in I.G., loc. cit. (καὶ τὰ ἄλλα ὑπάρχειν - -), though it has good parallels in Argive decrees (Mnemosyne, xliii. pp. 372Google Scholar ff), is somewhat difficult, as the phrase about the ἄλλοι εὐεργέται is already used in l. 13.

^{page 415 note 1} ii. 36, 5. No stress can be laid upon Strabo's words (p. 372) about the entire destruction of Mycenae, as they are demonstrably exaggerated, and different stories were told about the taking of Mycenae. Diodorus (xi. 65) says that it was taken by storm; Pausanias (vii. 25, 5), in a fuller account, says that the Argives could not take the old walls of Mycenae by storm, but the Mycenaeans were compelled by lack of provisions to abandon the city (cf. Pausanias, ii, 16, 5). This latter version is in better agreement with the actual state of the monuments of Mycenae (e.g. the Lion Gate) and with the mention of the temple of Athena suggested in our inscription.

^{page 416 note 1} The reasons for regarding these repairs as Hellenistic are set out above, pp. 10 ff. The angle of the polygonal tower collapsed some years back and one can no longer determine whether it was drafted like that of the tower at Asine, which would determine its Hellenistic date. We have examined many old photographs, but none gives definite evidence on this point.

Chamber Tomb 502, and Tomb 506 in the area north of the Treasury of Atreus. As nothing was found in either, it is impossible to suggest any date for them. To the south of the Tomb 502 a shaft grave, No. 503 (1·50 m. by ·40 m.), cut in the rock with a roof of stone slabs was excavated. It also contained nothing except a much-decayed skeleton facing east, so its date cannot be determined.
