⁴ It is interesting to see that the literary sources—in this case from Herodotus onwards—deal mainly with the political aspects of proxenia. The scholiasts and lexicographers, on the other hand, explain the ‘consular’ activities and duties of the proxenos.

⁵ Dem. 18. 50–52 clearly tries to minimize: he influence upon his audience of Aeschines' claim to a relationship of xenia with Philip and Alexander. Cf. Aesch. 3. 66.

⁶ Aesch. 2. 141; cf. Dem. 18. 82. In his speech ‘For the freedom of the Rhodians’ Demosthenes clearly tries to strengthen his argument by stressing the fact that he is not a proxenos of Rhodes: Dem. 15. 15.

⁷ Another inscription destroyed by the Thirty is I.G. ii². 52, but the name and country of the proxenos are not preserved. In ii². 9 and 66 the phrase is restored. I.G. ii². 448, 11. 61 ff. (318/17) shows that stelae granting honours to foreigners might be destroyed because of internal changes. I.G. ii². 172 is an award of proxenia to a man whose father was probably awarded it The normal procedure was probably then to inscribe the son's name on the father's stele. In this case a new decree had to be passed as the original stele had disappeared; but the circumstances of its disappearance are not known.
