^{page 78 note 4} Hejnic, op. cit. 91, dates the decline of Orchomenus' power c. 500, but Leahy, D.M., Phoenix, xii (1958), 162–3Google Scholar, after the second Messenian War, which seems more likely.

^{page 78 note 5} 368 is here assumed as the date of the foundation, but a difference of a year or two would not affect the present argument.

On the interpretation of the inscription see Gschnitzer, F., AAHG xviii (1965), 73–4.Google Scholar Orchomenus also at an unknown date attached to itself the once independent Amilus (Paus. 8. 13. 5), and Elymia perhaps underwent the same process (cf. Xen. Hell. 6. 5. 13–14).

^{page 79 note 5} Paus. 8. 27. 2. It is notable that Clitorian damiorgoi appear on the federal Arcadian decree IG v. 2. 1, from which most states of north Arcadia are missing, but it is dangerous to draw conclusions from the list of damiorgoi. The decree apparently belongs the years 370–61 (Gaertringen, F. Hiller von, MDAI(A), xxxvi [1911], 349–60)Google Scholar, in which case it is difficult to see why so many states are missing, since Xenophon says that all Arcadians took part in the invasion of Laconia in 370/69 (Xen. Ages. 2. 24). The simplest solution is to suppose that for some reason, possibly constitutional, not all members of the Arcadian League had damiorgoi when the decree was passed.
