Extract

Among the inscriptions from Caunus published by Mr. G. E. Bean in JHS LXXIV (1954), 85–110 there is one, no. 21, pp. 85–7 with fig. 36, which requires further comment. This ‘first recorded response of Gryneian Apollo’ consists of a prescript in prose, eleven lines very well preserved, and the first two hexameters of the oracle, the second with two not so short lacunae. The prose text says that under the priesthood of Eunomus, son of Leonidas, Menodorus, son of Sosikles, an Imbrian, was sent to the Gryneion and brought back an oracle. Good luck!
