Extract

Dr. Jameson's editio princeps of his major discovery at Troizen (Hesperia, xxix [1960], 198–223) will long remain essential for the study of this document. The following jottings are largely footnotes to the rich material which he has collected. Their main preoccupation is linguistic, and I abstain from any attempt to fit the decree into its historical setting. The gap between 480 B.C. and our copy is so long that it is hardly to be expected that the authenticity of the decree will go unchallenged, and this exploration of some points in the language may help towards a decision.

page 64 note 1 That official Attic is less sensitive about the difference between aorist and present than we would like to believe can be easily shown, but would require an excessive amount of space here. I will, however, take the opportunity to point out that the missing letters in lines 23 and 27 of I.G. ii2. 105 (G.H.I. 136) can only be supplied by reading instead of in both places.
