To THE MEMORY OF
EUGENE VANDERPOOL
PREFACE
As originally envisioned, this volume would have been the joint work of Eugene Vanderpool and Antony E. Raubitschek, the former concentrating on the archaeological and epigraphical aspects, and the latter presenting the historical and prosopographical material. Although that plan was never realized, both scholars not only published variously on ostraka and ostracism but also wrote notes and drafts of various parts of the projected volume. They graciously gave me access to all these, and much of what is included in this volume is based on their work. It is a pleasure to acknowledge my debt to them and a privilege to present material which was shaped in so many ways by such distinguished scholars. The obvious corollary to this acknowledgment is the statement that any infelicities or inaccuracies are all my own. Much has been written about ostracism in Athens, the origin and nature of the institution, its history, the political ramifications, circumstances, and dating of the occasions on which it was used. Only the briefest possible review of this material is included in this volume, which has as its chief purpose the publication of ostraka found in the Athenian Agora and what they tell us about their writers, their subjects, and the general operation of the institution. Fortunately, an exhaustive study of the ancient sources on ostracism is now in progress under the leadership of Peter Siewert. I am grateful to T. Leslie Shear, Jr., Field Director of the Agora Excavations, and to Homer A. Thompson, Field Director Emeritus, for permission to study and publish the ostraka. For the fine and unprejudiced drawings I would like to thank Margot Camp; for the photographs I am indebted to Craig A. Mauzy; and to William B. Dinsmoor, Jr. I owe the careful location of ostraka on the Agora plan, now brought up to date by Richard Anderson. I want to give special thanks to Margot Camp, then Secretary of the Agora Excavations, for facilitating my work with the ostraka in every way. For the patience and good advice of the editor, Marian Holland McAllister, I am most grateful, and to the staff of the Publications Office I am indebted for their care and concern in the production of this volume.

EXPLANATORY NOTES A few words concerning the plan of this work may be useful. Its chief purpose is the complete publication of the ostraka found in the Athenian Agora. The brief notes concerning the institution of ostracism in Chapter I provide a context for the consideration of the ostraka themselves. Chapter I1 gives a general description of the ostraka with regard to their form and content, materials, text, alphabet, orthography, and grammar. Where and in what circumstances groups of ostraka were found is considered in Chapter I11 for the light it sheds on the particular ostrakophoria to which they may belong. The catalogue of the 1145 ostraka makes up the bulk of the work. The arrangement is by "candidates" in English alphabetical order. The way in which the catalogue is organized and illustrated as well as the format and nature of the material included under each name and in the description of each ostrakon are outlined in the introduction to the catalogue. The ostraka found on the North Slope of the Akropolis are republished here as an Appendix because of their close connection with the ostraka found in the Agora. Some comparison between the two groups is attempted. A concordance of Agora inventory numbers with the catalogue numbers and a list of catalogue and inventory numbers arranged by groups combine with the plan of the Athenian Agora showing the findspots of ostraka to make possible a variety of cross references. A concordance of inventory and catalogue numbers is also given for the North Slope ostraka. Since it was not possible to illustrate all 1145 ostraka, only those that presented some problem or especially interesting feature have been either drawn or reproduced photographically. When readings are uncertain and letters scratched in a coarse clay surface are barely visible, drawings have been made against which the readings may be checked. Some photographs are included, partly to illustrate the kinds of sherds, arrangement of text, and letter shapes, and partly to show legible but peculiar texts. All the North Slope ostraka that have been assigned to specific hands are illustrated in photographs. Conuentions In writing the names of the candidates, brackets [ ] are used for missing letters where there is no evidence; parentheses ( ) are used where nothing is shown on the Agora ostraka but the name is known from the Kerameikos ostraka, or inscriptions, or literature. All dates are B.C. unless otherwise specified.
OSTRAKA
OSTRACISM IN ATHENS DEFINITION AND PROCEDURE The late lexica give brief explanations, for example: "Ostracism is named from the ostrakon (sherd) on which each Athenian wrote if it was necessary (for someone) to withdraw from the city."' A fragment of the 4th-century Atthidographer Philochoros details the procedure and may be paralleled with comments from two other 4th-century scholars (Aristotle in the Athenaion Politeia and Ephoros as used by Diodorus Siculus) and two later sources (Pollux and Plutarch's Aristeides): Philochoros (FGH IIIB, 328 F 30)
T h e demos votes before the eighth prytany if it seems best to hold an ostrakophoria.
Aristotle, AthPo143.5
In the sixth prytany they also take a vote whether there shall be an ostrakophoria or not.2
Philochoros, continued When it seems best, the Agora is fenced with boards, and ten entrances are left through which, entering by tribes, they deposit their ostraka, turning the writing aside. Pollux, 8.19-20 Having roped off a part of the Agora, the Athenians who wished had to bring to the circumscribed place a sherd inscribed with the name of the one to be ostracized. Plutarch, Aristeides 7 Each took a sherd and wrote the name of whomever of the citizens he wished to send out of the city. H e took it to a part of the Agora fenced off in a circle with railings. Diodorus, 11.55 Each of the citizens wrote on an ostrakon the name of the man who seemed most able to destroy the democracy. Philochoros, continued T h e nine archons and the boule were in charge. When (the ostraka) were counted, the man with the most votes and no fewer than 6000 was obliged, preserving his rights in private transactions, to withdraw from the city for ten years (later it was five), getting the income of his property but not coming nearer than Geraistos on the cape of E~boia.~ Plutarch, continued T h e archons first counted the whole number of ostraka. For if those voting were fewer than 6000, the ostrakophoria was void. Then, putting separately each of the names, they proclaimed that the one written by the most was banished for ten years, enjoying the income from his property. Diodorus, continued Whoever had more ostraka was ordered into exile for five years. Pollux, continued Whoever received 6000 ostraka had to go into exile.

It did not seem necessary to note particular editions of Greek authors, since there is no serious question concerning the actual texts. Cf. schol. Ar., Eq. 855, "The demos votes beforehand to hold an ostrakophoria." Schol. Ar., Eq. repeats the items in Philochoros' account verbatim, substituting only "putting inn for "turning asiden, omitting "preserving his rights in private transactionsn and the length and circumstances of the exile, and adding "if there should not be 6000 votes, he would not withdraw."

I. OSTRACISM I N ATHENS
Some disagreements among the sources are minor: whether the decision to hold an ostrakophoria was taken in the sixth prytany or before the eighth;4 whether the barriers in the Agora were of rope or boards5 Two differences are important: whether 6000 was a quorum or a plurality required for ostracism; whether the exile was five or ten years in length. There has been much discussion on both points, and the weight of both evidence and authorities now seems to be on the side of 6000 as quorum and ten years as the period of e ~ i l e . ~
DATE A N D PURPOSE O F INTRODUCTION More controversial than elements of the procedure is the question when ostracism was introduced and by whom. If we leave aside the late and surely unhistorical ascriptions of the law to Theseus, Achilleus Lysonos, and Hippias,' a comparison of the 4th-century sources will again best demonstrate the disagreements (Androtion, Ephoros as in Diodorus, Aristotle, and Philochoros). Harpokration, S.U.' I T T ~ P ~ O S Concerning this man Androtion says in his second book that he was a relative of Peisistratos the tyrant and was the first to be ostracized, when the law about ostracism was then first passed because of suspicion of those around Peisistratos, since he gained the tyranny as a general and leader of the people. Diodorus, 11.55 (about Themistokles) . . . bringing against him the so-called ostracism, which was passed as a law in Athens after the abolition of the tyrants associated with Peisistratos. Aristotle, AthPol 22.1, 3 For it happened that the laws of Solon became null and void through not being used and that Kleisthenes, aiming at the demos, introduced other laws, among which was the law of ostracism. . . . (3) In the twelfth year after this, having won the battle of Marathon in the archonship of Phainippos, after two years, when the demos was already confident, they then for the first time used the law of ostracism, which had been passed because of suspicion of those in power, since Peisistratos had, as leader of the people and general, established his tyranny. Philochoros ( F G H IIIB, 328 F 30) Hyperbolos alone of undistinguished men was ostracized, for wickedness of character rather than on suspicion Jacoby in his commentary on Philochoros, 328 F 30 ( F G H IIIB, i, p. 310) suggests that abridgement of Philochoros' text was responsible for the difference. The original may have been something like: "After voting in the sixth prytany whether to hold an ostrakophoria, if it was so voted, in the eighth prytany the Agora was fenced. . . ." j It is possible that both materials were used, with something like sawhorses roped together, but see Wycherley, JHS 75, 1955, pp. 117-1 18 for an alternate reading in Pollux, 8.19: acptrrcqv$oavrcs ("having set up wooden barriers around"). Where in the Agora this enclosure might have been located is unclear, but the concentration of dumped ostraka to the southwest of the Agora proper (see Chapter 111) may suggest that, on some occasions at least, the enclosure was located near by. Homer Thompson informs me (per lztt.) that the smoothness of the early floor in this corner of the Agora and the regularity of its slope down from south and east may indicate that here was the pre-Pnyx meeting-place of the ekklesia. If so, it would be reasonable that the meeting of the citizens to carry out the ostrakophoria that they had authorized in the ekklesia be held in the same place. Dumped ostraka alone, however, cannot provide clear evidence for locating the enclosure, since the very large dumps found outside the Dipylon (Willemsen, A e h r , pp. 28-29) suggest that disposal of spent ostraka was not always near the voting place. Although no one of our sources makes it explicit, the apparent purpose of the enclosure with its ten entrances seems to have been to contain the voters until the count was complete and thus prevent multiple voting. See Reinmuth in RE, S.U.ostrak~smos,cols. 1678-1680; Jacoby ( F G H IIIB) on Philochoros F 30; Thomsen, pp. 66-67, note 23; Vanderpool in Semple Lectures 11, pp. 217-218; Rhodes, p. 270. But if the Byzantine account of ostracism republished by Keaney and Raubitschek (AJP 93, 1972, pp. 87-91) is to be accepted, the question of the number of votes required may be reopened. ' Sufficiently disposed of by Thomsen, pp. 12-16.
AGORA CANDIDATES FOR OSTRACISM

of tyranny;' after him the custom was given up, having begun when Kleisthenes was enacting laws, after putting down the tyrants, so that he might get rid also of their friends.
The most recent full discussion is that of Rudi T h ~ m s e nwho , ~ presents in full detail the arguments that have been brought forward over the last hundred years in support of the two positions: that of Androtion (as reported by Harpokration) for introduction of ostracism in the early 480's and that of Aristotle (and others) for Kleisthenes as author of the law. Thomsen argues convincingly for the earlier date, following the line taken by Sumner and Dover,lo that while both Aristotle and Harpokration were dependent on Androtion, Aristotle's account is a more faithful representation of Androtion's meaning. A further complication has been introduced by the re-publication" of MS Vat. Gr. 1144, 222'-v by Keaney and Raubitschek, claiming that the law of ostracism introduced by Kleisthenes involved a vote by the boule and that originally 200 votes were required to ostracize a man, but that later, when the demos voted, it was changed to 6000. If this is to be accepted, it at least confirms the earlier date of introduction. There is the further question whether two stages of the law might also make it possible that there were two first victims: Kleisthenes, reported as the first victim of his own law by Aelian, H.V. 13.24 (that is, by the boule); Hipparchos, reported as the first by Aristotle, AthPol 22.3 (that is, by the demos).12 If any such ostracism was practiced by the boule, evidence would be difficult to find, since the chance that any of their comparatively few ostraka would have survived is remote, nor is it possible to connect any of the pre-ostraka (the so-called "name on sherd") with it. Those of the possibly relevant date (Agora XXI, D 26-38) neither were found near the Bouleuterion nor bear any recognizably political names. Moreover, such unpolitical names on sherds in the Agora go back to the beginning of writing and down beyond the 5th century B.G.
AGORA CANDIDATES FOR OSTRACISM: HISTORICAL OUTLINE The great majority of Agora ostraka fall into three distinct periods, as do also all but one of the actual cases of ostracism attested in our literary sources: the 480's B.G.; mid-century, extending from 461 to 443 B.c.; and 417-415 B.C. This is reminiscent of Thucydides' remark (8.73.3) that Hyperbolos was ostracized "not so much through fear of his power and rank but because of his wickedness and the shame it brings to the city." The intimation is that the proper reason for ostracism was fear of power and influence. Pp. 12-60. See also Rhodes, pp. 267-269. 'O Sumner, BZCS 11, 1964, pp. 79-86; Dover, C R 13, 1963, pp. 256-257. Compare Jacoby on Androtion 324 F 6 (FGH IIIB, i, p. 120): "there is always the possibility of a citation being curtailed in a lexicon repeatedly abbreviated." Although he saw the possibility that Androtion actually dated the introduction of ostracism in 488/7 B.C. because he saw it as part and parcel (along with the introduction of the lot in 487/6) of the beginnings of real democracy, Jacoby summed up (p. 124): "our tradition does not allow of making a final decision between the dates of Androtion and Aristotle, but if anybody can determine the source of Aelian (H. V. 13.24 that Kleisthenes was the first victim of his law) he may be able to solve the riddle." '' Keaney and Raubitschek, AJP 93, 1972, pp. 87-91. Among those accepting this earlier form of ostracism some would assign it to the Boule of the 500 (Bicknell, Gnomon 46, 1974, pp. 818-819; McCargar, CP 71, 1976, pp. 248-252); at least one other would give it to the Boule of the 400 in 510 B.C. (Longo, Historia 29, 1980, pp. 257281). More doubtful about this ostracism by the Boule is Develin (Antichthon 11, 1977, pp. 10-16; 19,1985, pp. 7-1 5). l 2 Bicknell, Gnomon 46, 1974, pp. 818-819.

T h e chief source concerning the ostracisms of the 480's is Aristotle, AthPol22, where, with one exception, names and dates are given for all those ostracized in that decade: 487 B.C. 486 B.C. 485 B.C. 484 B.C. 482 B.C.
Hipparchos Charmou Kollyteus Megakles Hippokratous Alopekethen a third friend of the tyrants Xanthippos Ariphronos Cholargeus Aristeides Lysimachou Alopekethen
T h e distinction that the author of the AthPol makes between the first three victims,"friends of the tyrants, on whose account the law was enacted," and those later ostracized ("if any one of the others seemed to be too powerfuln) suggests that he at least thought that men with a particular connection were no longer perceived as so threatening as men who in and of themselves had achieved some kind of supremacy. That he thought of Xanthippos and Aristeides as holding such positions of power is seen in his listing (AthPol28) of successive leaders of the demos and the aristocrats: "Xanthippos led the demos, Miltiades the aristocrats; then Themistokles (the demos) and Aristeides (the aristocrats)." T h e opposition between Xanthippos and Miltiades presumably did not survive Xanthippos' successful prosecution of Miltiades and the latter's death in 489 B.c., and so it almost seems that it was set up here as a parallel to the Themistokles-Aristeides opposition, in each case to explain the ostracism as a result of political rivalry. But the only way that political rivalry could explain the ostracism of Xanthippos, leader of the demos, is if it was Themistokles who, first contesting leadership of the demos, engineered the departure of Xanthippos and then later used his own leadership to defeat the aristocrats and ostracize their leader. Whether in actual historical fact, as opposed to this view of a 4th-century interpretation, there was any change in the use of ostracism in the 480's is obscure. T h e next certainly attested13 ostracism is that of Themistokles, most probably sometime in the later 470's B . c . ' ~Whether that ostracism resulted from fear of Themistokles' power on the part of the people or from political action on the part of rivals is not known, but his subsequent condemnation for treason suggests that it was to someone's advantage to have him permanently excluded from Athens. No ostraka are known from that ostrakophoria. Again in the late 460's B.C. the Athenians turned to ostrakophoriai as a solution of political problems. In 462/1,15 with the murder of Ephialtes16 and the ostracism of Kimon,17 opposition between the former, as leader of the demos and reformer of the Areopagus, and the latter, as leader of the aristocrats and defender of the Areopagus,18 was ended. But not only is it likely that supporters of Ephialtes, perhaps led by Perikles, pushed through Kimon's ostracism but also there is a strong probability that the ostracism of Alkibiades Kleiniou Skambonides (grandfather of the Peloponnesian War general of the same name) is to be dated in the following year,I9 with Perikles again acting as leader of the demos and completing the defeat of the aristocratic interest. That this is oversimplification is evident, but the way in which Perikles is reportedz0to have used ostracism as a political weapon against his rival Thucydides Melesiou in 443 B.C.is at least suggestive. l 3 For the possibility that there was at least one ostrakophoria in the early 470's B.C. in which Megakles Hippokratous was ostracized a second time, see under Megakles in the Catalogue below, pp. 93-94. l 4 See Podlecki, The Life of Themistocles, pp. 197-198 for a recent summary of the evidence and discussion.

These three mid-century ostracisms are certain. Somewhat less securely attested are the ostracisms of the following: Menon Menekleidou Gargettios, perhaps in 457 B.c." Kallias Didymiou, perhaps in the 440's B.c." Damon Damonidou Oathen, also perhaps in the 4 4 0 ' s ~ ~
Too little is known of the first two to indicate in what kind of political climate they may have been ostracized, if indeed they were. Concerning Damon, the author of AthPol(27.4) says that it was his "democratic" advice to Perikles that was responsible for his ostracism. Nothing further is reported about any ostrakophoria until the next-to-last decade of the 5th century when Hyperbolos Antiphanous Perithoides was ostracized at sometime between 417 and 415 B . c . ~Because ~ he was seen as an unworthy victim and because the real political rivals whose fates were on the line conspired together to save themselves by marshaling their influence against him, the institution of ostracism fell into disrepute and was abandoned. Originally and in practice a useful and fairly humane way to prevent power struggles from tearing the state apart, ostracism was finally destroyed by the very forces it seems to have been designed to combat: personal ambition and disregard for the common good. The Agora candidates, who include all the above victims except Damon, are here divided into the three periods. Those whose date is known from literary and epigraphical evidence or from multiple association in comparatively pure deposits with dated candidates (in either Agora or K e r a m e i k ~ s are ) ~ ~listed in the first column, with an indication of the nature of the justification: lit for literary evidence; arch for archaeological association. The literary evidence is not necessarily for the ostracism but may be only for the candidate's activity in the relevant period; a question mark indicates that there may be some doubt about the relevance of the evidence to the candidate. The candidates for whom there is neither literary evidence nor really clear archaeological association but only letter shapes (and possibly a datable sherd, good only for post quem dating) appear in the second column.

T H E OSTRAKA
DEFINITION AND IDENTIFICATION The identification of an inscribed sherd as an ostrakon (in the political sense as opposed to the general sense of any sherd, whether inscribed or not) may be made most certainly when the inscribed name is of a man said in literary sources to have been voted against or actually ostracized and when the dates of the sherd and writing are appropriate. Almost equally certain is the case in which sherds with other names are found with ostraka identified in the first fashion. So the presence in the largest Agora group (E 1; see Chapter 111: Groups of Ostraka) of numbers of ostraka of Aristeides (5), Megakles (2), and Themistokles (176) makes it virtually certain that the many other sherds with names found in the same deposit are also ostraka, whether there is only one example of each (as in the case of Charias Ph[ ]dou and Onomastos), a bare handful (two for Kleiboulos, three each for Habron and Habronichos, seven for Kydrokles), or an impressive number (Hippokrates 49, Kallixenos 168). If these additional names turn up in other groups, as most do, they help to identify sherds with still other names as ostraka, and so on. In addition, very fragmentary sherds with only two or three letters that are found in ostrakon deposits can usually with considerable confidence be assigned to known names on the basis of letter combinations, probability, and numbers. Finally, even sherds with names found in isolation may be identified as ostraka if more than one with the same name is found either in the Agora or elsewhere: so Arista[ichmos] Timo[kratous] (20) is singular in the Agora but plural in the Kerameikos; Hegestratos (128-131) was found in three different parts of the Agora. Or even if a sherd with a particular name is singular but is datable by context or writing to an ostrakon era, it may or may not be an ostrakon: so Archenos (18), which can be interpreted variously; Eret[ 1 (108) is equally questionable; but Eupolis (112), Panaitios (650), and Sokrates (661) are most probable because of the presence of demotics, just as the patronymics with Phalanthos (657), Philinos (659), Spintharos (662), and Teisandros (663) make their single sherds likely ostraka. The fact that these names occur in the nominative case helps the identification, for although a few indubitable ostraka have names in the dative or accusative cases, ordinary sherds with a name in the nominative are less likely than those with genitive or dative to be tags of ownership or address. The more than 11,000 ostraka found in Athens have come from the following places: 1) the Kerameikos outside the city walls

Since the ostrakophoriai were held in the Agora, some remnants of the voting could be expected there, but for the most part the ostraka found in the Kerameikos and Agora and on the North Slope come from dumps which were deposited after an ostrakophoria (or possibly before, in the case of the North Slope). The few exceptions found elsewhere in Athens may have been lost before the voting.
MATERIALS The ostraka found in the Agora include every possible sort of sherd, from the coarsest kind of pithos to the finest black-figured vase. The largest single category (about 40 percent) is from plain unglazed ware; next (something over 20 percent) are the fragments of semiglazed kraters or other open vessels. A third category, roughly equal to the second, includes fine black-glazed ware: kylikes, skyphoi, amphoras, and such.3 The remainder is very various, including lamp fragments, blackand red-figured sherds, and pieces of roof tile, water pipes, and wellheads. Some voters seem to have chosen their sherds with considerable concern for appearance, as the many kylix bases and rim fragments testify. The means of inscribing ostraka are less varied than the sherds themselves: there are only six examples (110,308,311,468,652,653) of painted inscriptions; those that are incised show a range of implement from the finest metal point to the kind of blunt instrument that leaves more of a furrow than a line. Of the painted examples only one (468, Kallixenos) appears to have been a "professional" job, neatly and elegantly inscribed on the handle of a semiglazed oinochoe and then fired; it may be the vote of a potter who was exercising his skill or a secondary use of a part of a vessel designed for other purpose^.^ The other five painted inscriptions are on coarse unglazed sherds where the paint is very fugitive, not having been fired. These, unlike the Kallixenos piece, all date around or after the middle of the 5th century. For the incised inscriptions on black-glazed fragments a metal point would have been necessary, but a sharp stone seems often to have been used on coarse pottery. TEXT The text of ostraka inscriptions may be limited to the name of the candidate, but it most often includes either patronymic or demotic, and occasionally both. In addition, a few examples include the See footnote 1 above, p. 7. The figures here are taken from Vanderpool's estimates (Semple Lectures 11, p. 219), and in general this section concerning the nature of ostraka follows his outline for the ostraka volume as he originally conceived it, as does also the first,of the Semple Lectures. The reader is urged to consult those lectures for a masterly handling of the whole subject. For a full discussion of the implications of this piece see Stamires and Vanderpool, pp. 379-381.

article, as follows: with patronymic (70, 81, 118, 280, 500, 634,635, 681, 842); with demotic (89, 112, 933); uncertain (440); and restored with epithet (589). Among the fragments the article is certainly present on 1090 and 1091, and possibly on 1077 and 1131. Other additions are not so frequent among Agora ostraka as on those from the Kerameikos, but they include the following: epithets (44,56,589); relationship (328); verb (356,647); a couplet (1065); and a portrait (590). The fragmentary state of many ostraka makes it difficult to arrive at significant statistics on the comparative frequency of name alone, name with either patronymic or demotic, and name with both. For example, of the 277 Kallixenos ostraka less than 1 percent show name, patronymic, and demotic, but this is in part, at least, the result of the fragmentary state of many; almost 90 percent show at least name and patronymic, in part or whole; almost 2 percent show at least name and demotic; less than 4 percent certainly had nothing more than the name; and the rest are too fragmentary to show anything more than the name. For a useful discussion of the comparative frequency of patronymic and demotic, see Vanderpool's Semple Lectures 11, pp. 220-222, in which he shows how the roughly equal numbers of Themistokles' ostraka with demotic and those with patronymic contrast with the overwhelming preponderance of ostraka with the patronymic for other contemporary candidates and suggests that Themistokles "deliberately cultivated the use of the demotic . . . in order to increase his popularity among the common people." FORMAT On the great majority of ostraka writing is from left to right. In these cases the inscription may be centered on the sherd, but most often it starts from the left and follows along an edge: either the top edge with the name first and the patronymic or demotic below; or with the name first along the bottom edge and the patronymic or demotic above.5Or starting from the left, it may follow the edge around two, three, or all sides of the sherd; if it starts from the top edge,6 the letters will face out, that is, their tops will be at the edge; if from the bottom edge,7they will face in. The former is more usual and is seen in a more complete form in such ostraka as are written on round pot bases where the letters, facing out, go all around from left to right.8 The writing on a few ostraka is retrograde, boustrophedon, or Schlangenschrift. Examples of pure retrograde include the following: 114, 117, 127, 300, 305, 542, 751, 762, 816, 1049, 1053. Boustrophedon writing on ostraka ordinarily involves a first line with the name written left to right and a second line, whether below or above, written retrograde, that is, from right to left, with those letters that point forward reversing direction but keeping the same vertical orientation after they have turned the corner from the first line. Examples written thus from the top down are 123,128, 130,330,340,961,991,1013; from bottom up, 348. More unusual are first lines (with name) going from right to left followed by second lines left to right: 663,791,932, 1077.9Schlangenschrift, as the This is much less frequent, but examples are worth noting, since otherwise it might be thought from the transcriptions that the patronymic or demotic was written first: 50, 70, 198, 232, 234, 325, 360, 439, 443, 545, 549, 577, 629, 639,689,696,732,758,783,856,874,876,886,890,895,967,998,1026. Examples: 792,853,880,925. ' Examples: 211,264,817,970. See particularly the mass of kylix bases from the North Slope, p. 159 below. Not counted here are those sherds on which the one or two or three last letters of a name are written either down the right side of the sherd or turned back toward the beginning on an abortive second line, while the real second line is written from left to right.

name indicates, involves a coiling from one line to another, which means a change in vertical orientation; examples which begin left to right are 198,322,415,484,508,641,103s; uncertain is 662. Occasionally a name is written twice, either because the first attempt was deemed unsatisfactory (34,89,1031) or perhaps for emphasis (8,228,363, and possibly 627,1056). Erasures and corrections of miswriting without complete rewriting are also evident.I0 Single letters are erased on 626 and 741. Corrections may take either of two forms: overwriting, as in 541 and 933, or insertion of an omitted letter either by squeezing in or writing above or below the line, as in 350,493,638, 667,734,837,867,932,968,1001,1002,1049, and 1056. Punctuation is comparatively rare on Agora ostraka. A vertical line that separates end from beginning may be used in those texts that are written in circular form on the bases or necks of vessels (265, 394, 911). A horizontal stroke may be used in similar fashion (338, 666). More frequent between name and either patronymic or demotic are dots vertically arranged: two (117, 177, 211,453,539, 567,641,661, 728,908); or three (304,364,500,909).
ALPHABET The ostraka of the Agora extend over a period in which the Attic alphabet was changing from archaic forms to the developed Ionic alphabet that was officially adopted only in 403 B.C.As witnesses to that change the ostraka are particularly useful, since they are for the most part dated by the historical names that they bear. But at the same time the informality of the medium, combined with the difficulty of writing and the perhaps incomplete literacy of some writers, means that some changes may not be detectable, while others may have no chronological significance but reflect only personal idiosyncrasy. So, for example, the change from slanting to horizontal crossbars for both alpha and epsilon cannot be documented in writing where intractable materials and lack of skill militate against both regularity and subtle distinctions. On the other hand, if a dot is substituted for the ground line of delta, it seems to have more to do with personal preference than with chronology, although apparently personal preference operated more at some times than at others. Only four dotted deltas appear in the early period (67,154,198,609 or 3.4 percent of the total 118), only one in the middle period (9 or 6 percent of the total 17), and none in the later period, in which the total number of deltas is seven. For the purpose of dating letter shapes both the Agora ostraka and the known ostracisms are conveniently divided into three groups: 1) early, belonging to the 480's;" 2) middle, including the known ostrakophoriai of 461 and 443 B.c.;'~and 3) late, including the final ostrakophoria of 417 B.c.'~The great majority of the Agora ostraka comes from the early period and will serve, as far as letter shapes are concerned, to present a detailed picture. The much smaller middle and late groups, however, are still sufficient to provide some indication of development and change. The letters for the use and development of which the ostraka are most useful are the Attic and Ionic forms of gamma and lambda, crossbarred and dotted theta, phi, tailed and plain rho, tailed and V-shaped upsilon, chi with upright and St. Andrew's cross, and three- and four-barred sigma.14 For omitted letters, extra letters, metathesis, and wrong letters, see below under Sounds and Spelling. see list, pp. 5-6 above. l 2 Thomsen, pp. 82-85; see list, p. 6 above. l 3 Thomsen, pp. 81-82; see list, p. 6 above. l 4 The figures given here, which are recounts after further study, may differ by small amounts from those published by Lang in Hesperia, Suppl.

About theta it now seems to me that attempting to differentiate between upright and St. Andrew's crosses is a work of supererogation, since for both the writer and the reader a slight change of orientation may make the difference, especially when letters follow the edge of the sherd as it is turned. Equally, making a distinction between round and square thetas makes little sense when dealing with letters incised in clay; not only are there examples which represent every gradation between round and square, but also it is obvious that some writers had difficulty with curved lines and so preferred four (or five or six) straight ones. Since we do not differentiate between round and square omicrons, there is little point in making the distinction with thetas. There is even some question about the distinction between crossbarred and dotted thetas when at least three of the ostraka that show a dotted theta also use one with crossbars (943,951,1020).

Like theta, phi enjoyed a variety of forms in the early period: of 116 legible examples, 107 or 92 percent are circles with vertical bar, five or 4 percent are circles with horizontal bar,24two or 2 percent are circles with vertical stroke extending above and below,25and two or 2 percent are crossbarred circles.26The presumption is that the various forms are not phonologically significant but constitute a confusion of symbols, as Threatte suggests (pp. 470-471). In the middle period, the two examples have the vertical stroke extending above and below (101, 660), while in the late period all but one of the 11 preserved have that same long stroke.27 The tailed rho appears only in the early period, a remnant of archaic writing that was dying out, so that in at least six cases the writer tailed one rho and neglected to tail the other(s) on the same sherd (113,749,802,929,1023,1063). The percentage of tailed rhos is just 10 (45 of 445). Attic: 4, 128, 129, 130, 131, 629,630, 632-635,637-639,650. Attic: 643. Ionic: 646, 661. l 7 Ionic: 874. Attic: 8, 9, 11, 12, 312, 595, 651.

The numbers for the middle and late periods are too small to be significant, and for the early period it is often difficult to know whether for any particular letter one is orienting the sherd as the writer was. Upsilon, tailed and untailed, is perhaps more useful, although with the propensity for the writing implement to gouge or slip beyond the writer's intention when he applied sufficient force to cut through glaze, perhaps not all tails were intended.

As far as sigmas with three and four bars are concerned the situation is somewhat different, for although there is a demonstrable change from the three-barred to the four-barred form over time, it is also clear that the few four-barred sigmas that do appear in the early period are for the most part limited to particular functions. That is, of the 27 early four-barred sigmas 26 come at the end of a Only one (63) appears name (16), before a dental (9), or in combination with chi to make xi elsewhere. Since it is in these very places that the other chief alternate sigmas (the doubled sigma and the reversed three-barred sigma) appear,35it seems possible that all variant forms might be used by some writers to represent what seemed to be different sounds. In any event, the four-barred sigma gradually took over, as is apparent from the way in which ten of the 16 middle-period sigmas have four bars,36in comparison with six three-barred sigmas.37In the late period all 17 sigmas have four bars.38
SOUNDS AND SPELLING Also a matter of letter shapes, but verging on spelling and representation of sounds, is the use of omega. Its appearance for long o in the late period is in line with the use of Ionic gammas and lambdas at that time: Kleophon (600,602-605). Its appearance in the early period seems to be one of several attempts to differentiate the sound of the genitive's impure diphthong ou (contraction of 2 8 St. Andrew's cross: 18, 60, 64, 66, 74, 87, 134, 321, 343, 353, 355, 362, 363, 371, 373, 378,400, 401, 422, 436, 455,485,489,493,502,503,505,506,508-510,513,523,529,531,532,549,580,1058-1060,1067 (on two, 363 and 523, a second chi is an upright cross).

oo or eo) from simple omicron. Patronymics of Aristeides Lysimachou (87), Hippokrates Alkmeo-
nidou (159, 186, 194,238,251,261), Kallixenos Aristonymou (321,324,435,450,459,500,508, 572), Megakles Hippokratous (628), and Themistokles Neokleous (724,849,916,947,948) have omega as their final vowel.39A somewhat less frequent way of marking the difference is the use of omicron-upsilon, which, although it became the eventual solution of the problem, seems to have been given up after the early period, since none of the ostraka from the middle or late periods uses anything other than simple omicron for the diphthong. Examples of omicron-upsilon are patronymics of the following: Hipparchos Charmou (133), Hippokrates Alkmeonidou (149, 212); Kallias Kratiou (313); Kallixenos Aristonymou (315, 519); Megakles Hippokratous (634); and Themistokles Neokleous (672, 912, 1010).40A third solution is both less popular and less satisfactory: simple upsilon for the impure diphthong, as in Alkmeonidu (187), Aristonymu (363), and Hippokratus (636).41In fact, when the writer of one Boutalion ostrakon (89) first wrote Butalion he scratched it out and wrote Boutalion, apparently as a correction. Certainly the other six Boutalion ostraka all have Boutalion. The omicron-upsilon diphthong in both Kleiboulos (598) and Thoukidides (1050) was represented by a simple omicron.42 Somewhat comparable to the change from omicron to omega, but with different complications, is the use of eta as aspiration or vowel. In ostraka of the early period eta, which has the open form except in two cases (128,130), is regularly used for initial aspiration in the cases of Habron, Hierokles, Hipparchos, and Hippokrates. Only Habronichos (127) and Hegestratos (128-131) show psilosis, if indeed those names were pronounced with an a i t ~ hAspiration .~~ of medial rho by means of eta occurs on 11 Themistokles ostraka in the demotic Phrear(r)ios (766,779,794,798,872,893, 928, 958, 965, 1016, 1021) in contrast to 86 Late candidates, Hippokles and Hyperbolos, begin with the simple vowel. Eta had already been used as a long e on at least one ostrakon in the early period (1026); in the middle period six long e's are represented by epsilon (111 Eukrates, 99 and 101 Dieitrephes, 651 Perikles, 661 Sokrates, 1051 Thoukydides) and four by eta (109 and 110 Eukrates, 652 Perikles, 1050 Thoukydides). In the late period all seven long e's are represented by eta (13-17 Alkibiades the Younger, 145 Hippokles, 648 Nikias Nikeratou). More a matter of simple spelling than the use of particular letter shapes is the question of the extent to which differences in the representation of sounds echo different pronunciations. Among vowels, for example, there seems to be some confusion between iota and upsilon, at least in some contexts. Among 132 examples of Aristonymou and Xypetaion ten show iota in place of the upsiand two show uncertainty between the two vowels.46In addition, what seems to be the word for "son" in another Kallixenos Aristonymou ostrakon (328) is spelled with an iota rather than an upsilon. What is strange is that in none of the many cases of Lysimachou, Dionysios, Eratyllos, or Kydrokles is an iota substituted for upsilon. The parallels which Threatte cites (p. 261) do, however, include Dionisigenes, Dionisos, and Olisseus. The occasional substitution of iota for the diphthong epsilon-iota occurs only in early- and middle-period ostraka: Klibolos (598) and Alkibiades Kliniou (6, 7, 11, 12).

Alkibiades the Younger, on the other hand, spell out the diphthong: Kleiniou (13, 14).47The use of epsilon for epsilon-iota is similarly limited in instances if not in date, but it may also simply be the result of an omitted iota: Aristedes (33, 49, 50); Klestenos, if for Kleisthenous (464);and perhaps Kleppidou (600), where a possible iota is written over the first pi.48 As far as consonants are concerned the confusion between aspirated and unaspirated letters is particularly notable: theta and tau; phi and pi; chi and kappa. Apparently the aspiration of Themistokles' initial consonant exercised an aspirating effect49on the second dental so that the vast proportion of Themistokles ostraka that preserve that part of the name show theta in the third syllable: 183 to 17 (92% to 8%).50This time it is the exception that is, from our point of view, correct! The same contagion of aspiration appears to work backwards in 99 where Dieithrephes converts tau into theta in anticipation of the phi.5' In the three instances of the demotic Xypetaion on early ostraka the aspirated chi that combines with sigma to make up the xi-sound has the same effect on the following pi that initial theta has on the following tau in Themistokles: 2 Acharnion Xyphetaion and 3 Acharnion Xiphetaion; 523 Kallixenos Xiphetaion. The names on ostraka provide no opportunity for simple chi at or toward the beginning of a name to aspirate a following consonant, but neither does the aspiration of chi combined with sigma in Kallixenos ever work back to the initial kappa. As a matter of fact the only example of x in Kallixenos being unaspirated comes in a psilotic context already noted above: 328 Kallkkenos ios Aristonymo. If we omit that one psilotic example, we find that the representation of xi is achieved variously in the early period: chi-sigma (129 examples on Kallixenos ostraka alone); sigma-chi (seven examples, all Kallixenos: 319, 340, 411, 455, 487, 537, 578); sigma (five examples, all Kallixenos: 347, 365,440,464,517); chi (two examples, 281 (?) Anaxileou, 542 Kallixenos; 541 added a sigma only after starting the following epsilon); double sigma (three examples, 18 Philoxenon, 439,474, both ~ ~the of Kallixenos, with the latter's two sigmas back to back); and one xi (554 K a l l i ~ e n o s ) .In middle period the two ostraka of Perikles divide neatly between the old conservative voter (651 with chi-sigma and epsilon for long e) and the young radical (652 with xi and eta). Phaiax in the later period has xi (653) or, to make very sure, xi-sigma (654). Whether the doubling of consonants, generally thought to be coming in only in the early 5th century,53is more or less the practice on ostraka depends very much on the specific consonant:

Single lambda and single pi are clearly on the way out in the early period and seem to be completely out by mid-century. The situation with rho is different. Phrearrios later always has a double rho, but unlike the names that later have double lambda and double pi, its percentage of singles and doubles is reversed in the early period. In opposite fashion the later form of Ariphron has a single rho while the early period ostraka give him a preponderance of doubles. It must be that the current trend toward doubling produced what Threatte (p. 533) calls false gemination, good examples of which are Kallixenos Arristonymou (504), Kallichchsenos (540) and Kallissennos (439). The numbers for double or single tau in Kattariou (early) and Gargettios (middle) are too small to be indicative; in both cases there is one example of single tau (107,645) and one example of double tau (105, 646). The name Kattarios is unknown, and so its proper spelling is obscure. Gargettios should have the double tau. In the early period, both the doubling of sigmas and the reversing of sigmas seem to serve a special purpose, as was suggested above for the early four-barred sigmas (p. 12). Sigma is doubled19 times before tau or theta and three times when it substitutes for Reversed sigma appears not only in these two situations but also in the final position, as follows: 17 times before tau or theta; 12 times with chi to represent xi; 40 times in the final position.55Only three examples appear before vowels: 128, 663 (2); all these are in boustrophedon writing where there is sometimes confusion about letter orientation. That there was a felt difference of sound for some writers in the situations above seems possible, but at the same time there is remarkably little consistency in the usage by any particular individual, so that two final sigmas on one sherd are not always treated the same, and some writers reverse the sigma with chi and that before tau (in Kallixenos Aristonymou) while others reverse only one or the other. As doubling of consonants was coming to the fore in the early period, so was the contraction of two vowels into one. The contracted forms (in nominative and dative cases) of Kydrokles, Megakles, and Themistokles number 127; the uncontracted forms (in nominative, dative, and accusative cases) of the same names occur 65 times.56The proportion of 66 percent to 34 percent shows that contraction had already made considerable headway. In the genitive of Neokles, which always 5 4 Doubled sigma before tau/theta: 25,88,322,326,361,460,541,579,692,738,758,849,861,916,953,968,982, 1018, 1039; doubled sigma for xi: 18, 439, 474 (in this last the two sigmas are back to back; that is, the second is reversed). For doubled sigmas see Threatte, pp. 510, 530, 551. 5 5 These figures include seven examples of forward-written sigmas in retrograde writing, so reversed in comparison with other letters. Before dental: 129, 130, 325, 337, 370, 395, 536, 546, 684, 742, 751, 762, 766, 810,892,932, 962. With chi: 325, 332, 337, 348, 370, 372, 381, 417, 464 (chi omitted), 465,481, 518. As final letter: 130 (2), 135, 172, 215, 261, 264, 266, 325, 328, 337, 348, 370, 372, 389,392,414,464,465,598, 663,675, 684, 711, 731,732, 742, 759, 762, 766 (2), 843, 932 (2), 965,970, 975,984,986, 1019. But see 474, where one of the doubled sigmas is reversed. 56 The difference between these figures and those given by Vanderpool in Semple Lectures 11, p. 228 may be accounted for by the fact that he included some, at least, of the North Slope ostraka of Themistokles in the contracted group and omitted datives and accusatives from the uncontracted.

appears as Neokleos (for Neokleous), it had already completely taken over. What evidence there is for the middle period seems to indicate that contraction had won out completely (651,652). Whether omitted letters are anything more than careles~ness~~ is unclear, but it is true that in the case of some omissions the word or name can be, and perhaps was, so pronounced. For possible insight, then, into man-in-the-street pronunciation in the 5th century B.C. it is worthwhile examining the omissions. Omitted alpha: unaccented alphas as in Marthonios (89, and possibly 115) and Klisens (347) may reflect pronunciation; accented alphas as in Phalnthou (641), Phrerios (946), and Chsnthipos (1061) should be carelessness, but the fact that each is accompanied by a sonant or liquid suggests that the vowel might be slurred over. Omitted epsilon: unaccented epsilons include three examples of Alkm<e>onides (148, 200, 202) where it is possibly a matter of contraction rather than omission; also Th<e>misthoe (768), Th<e>misthokleei (990), Phr<e>arios (933), and Alopeketh<e>n (223) where the vowels might be slurred over; and one accented epsilon in Heg<e>stratos (130) that must be a careless mistake. Omitted iota: unaccented iotas are omitted in Arstonumo (354, 415, 536, 545), in Themsthokles (762) and as subscript or adscript of the dative Melesio (1051), all of which can be pronounced after a fashion; the accented iotas of [Alkmeo]ndo (165) and Kallxenos (355,466) might suggest a kind of contraction with shift of accent. Omitted omicron: unaccented omicrons include Hippkrates (231), Kallichsens (369), and Themisthkles (958), which are rather difficult to pronounce; other omicrons are omitted along with other vowels in names which can only be interpreted with difficulty and doubt: [Ma]r] (115), [Al]km<eo>n[i]do (154), Klisens (347), and Ari<s>tnm[o] thn[ (517). Omitted upsilon: accented upsilon is omitted in Aristonmo on two occasions with other letters (517, 542) and once by itself (369). Upsilon as part of epsilon-upsilon diphthong is omitted in 112 and 126. Omitted omega: Kleophn (607), an obvious error. Consonants are omitted somewhat less erratically. Omitted kappa in various contexts (198,766, 849) may be simple error while lambda's omission is limited to the -kles ending (114,743,843 twice, 856, 1032). Nu is omitted only twice, apparently by chance (207,642), while rho more frequently drops out either as part of a consonant cluster (114,131,207,301)or as a result of dissimilation (307, 610, 885).58All the omissions of sigma are from consonant clusters: sigma plus tau or theta (49,338, 517,563,709,776,777,809, 1011)59and chi plus sigma (542). Similarly five of the omitted taus are from a consonant cluster: sigma plus tau (337,535,543,649) and Lampreus (124). Only one tau seems to be omitted elsewhere: [Hippo]kraes (246), presumably by mistake. A few omitted syllables more likely result from the mind running ahead of the writing implement than from abbreviated pronunciation: Alkmeono (194), Arisnu[mo] (347), Themisk[les] (682), The<mi>st[okles] (886), Themiskle[s] (1031 but corrected). Other forms of misspelling represented in the ostraka include the addition of extra letters, the substitution of one letter for another, ligatures, and metathesis. Extra letters may result from assimi1ati0n:~OAlk{l}meo[nido](213), Alkme{l}onides(236), K{l}alich[senos](420), K{l}alisenos(464); or Threatte (p. 398) suggests that omission of vowels, especially accented ones, is simply graphic error.

GRAMMAR The grammar of inscriptions which normally include nothing more than a name, a patronymic, and a demotic (if so much) is virtually limited to cases. For the name, the nominative (so-called independent nominative) is normal and is used on all but 44 of the Agora ostraka that preserve the ends of the name. As might be expected, there is no example of the candidate's name appearing in the genitive case. Names in the dative case (indirect object, dative of disadvantage?) occur on 31 ostraka: 28 of the early period; two from the middle period; one from the late period.64Names in the accusative case (as object of an understood verb) appear on 13 ostraka: 11 in the early period; two from the late period.65 For the patronymic, the genitive singular is normal and is used on all but 21 of the Agora ostraka that preserve the patronymic and its end. Patronymics in the nominative occur on 15 ostraka of the early period but not at any other time.66The rationale for the use of this case is difficult to divine, but perhaps it represents a kind of illiterate contagion from the candidate's name or is itself an independent nominative, as in lists. But the common practice of referring to a man as so-and-so (son) of such-and-such must have been hard to ignore, unless by writers who so strongly preferred the demotic as supplementary designation that they assimilated the patronymic to the nominative of See Threatte, pp. 407-408.

the demotic. On three ostraka apparent patronymics occur as genitive plurals, indicating the family instead of, or in addition to, the father: [Hipplokrates [Alkmeolnidon (ZM), [Hippolkrates [Alkm]eonidon (215), [Alk]meon[idon Kal]lixe[nos Ar]isto[nymou] (524). One patronymic in the dative case makes reasonable sense as a dative of possession: Kallixenos Aristonymoi (338). Another apparent dative is perhaps more likely an incomplete patronymic: Hasimioni for Hasimioni(des) (128). Two possibly accusative patronymics present difficulties: [Kall]ixenos [Alristonynon (557) makes little sense as either accusative singular or genitive plural; what might be the patronymic in 568, Kalisthenos Aristonymon, may also be read as a nominative since the final letter is written below the line and can be oriented as either nu or sigma. There are other variant patronymics that may be noted here: 134 Charmido for Charmo; 220 and 264 Alkmeonos for Alkmeonido; 198 Alkmeonidos?; 256 Alkmeou corrected to Alkmeonido.

GROUPS OF OSTRAKA Of the 1145 catalogued ostraka (1069 identified and 76 uncertain) only 185 were found as singles; the other 960 were found in association with at least one other ostrakon in 35 combinations ranging in size from 448 to 2.' The finding of ostraka in large deposits suggests that after an ostrakophoria they were carted away to be used as fill. The fact that most of the deposits are not pure suggests that fill was often moved around, as needed, and so suffered contamination. It also seems possible that small deposits may be explained as resulting from imperfect sweeping-up operations and as spillage from overloaded carts. In general then, the location of groups in the Agora can best be seen (1) as neglected remnants in the fenced-off area, sometimes tidied away into near-by cisterns or rubbish pits (grid squares G-J 4-13), (2) as resulting from spillage or the filling of potholes on the way to the dumps (D-F 12-15), and (3) the dumps themselves (A-C 18-22). See Table, p. 21 below and the Plan for the location of ostraka, both groups and singles, plotted on the Agora grid.2 The groups are here designated by both letters and numbers, with the prefix E for groups that are predominantly early (that is, from the 480's), the prefix M for mid-century groups (ca. 460440 B.c.), and the prefix L for the latter part of the century (420-415 B.c.). The numbers with each letter indicate the relative sizes of the groups, from large to small, e.g., E 1-la has 448 ostraka; E 2 has 171; E 3 has 57, etc.; M 1 has 5; M 2 has 5, etc.; L 1 has 15; L 2 has 3. Of the 35 groups, 29 belong to the early period, four to the mid-century, and two to the late period. This form of group designation provides a quick and easy context reference for those ostraka that belong to the groups, giving at once a rough date and some notion of the group's size. But because in various publications the groups have been designated in various ways, the concordance given below (p. 20) will help in cross referencing; the numbers in parentheses are of ostraka. The breakdown is as follows: 10 in 5 pairs (E 25-29) 18 in 6 three's (E 20-24; L 2) 8 in 2 four's (E 19; M 4) 25 in 5 five's (E 17, 18; M 1-3) 6 in 1 six (E 16) 14 in 2 seven's (E 14, 15) 16 in 2 eights's (E 12, 13) 18 in 2 nine's (E 10, 11) 10 in 1 ten (E 9) 45 in 3 fifteen's (E 7, 8; L 1) 22 in 1 group of twenty-two (E 6) 41 in 1 group of forty-one (E 5) 51 in 1 group of fifty-one (E 4 and 4a) 57 in 1 group of fifty-seven (E 3) 171 in 1 group of one hundred seventy-one (E 2) 448 in 1 group of four hundred forty-eight (E 1 and la)

The disparity in numbers among the various lists is not very serious, since some lists do not include ostraka with uncertain names and since over the years there have been joins and new interpretations resulting in additions or deletions. Publication references and the description of the groups' contexts are given below (the references to Athenian Agora volumes are to their Deposit Lists); only the group designation and grid reference will appear as provenience in the individual catalogue items. Where there is no group the date of the pottery context and grid reference are given.
E 1 (A 18-19:l). Agora IV, XII, XXII; Hesperia 17, 1948, pp. 193-194; Hesperia 19, 1950, p. 337; Stamires and Vanderpool, pp. 376-390. Originally, 605 pieces were found; of these 440 were catalogued in the Agora and reduced by joins to 438, and 165 were uncatalogued, as being too fragmentary to be significant. The area of the deposit was about 6 x 10 m. in the valley between the Areopagus and Kolonos Agoraios, and it was about 40 meters southwest of E 2. The whole seems to have been deposited about the middle of the 5th century, since there is some admixture of secondquarter material. See under E l a for percentages of votes for the chief candidates. E l a (A 19). Hesperia 16, 1947, p. 207. Since four of the 14 pieces in this group made joins with pieces from E 1, it seems certain that the two belong together. The deposit was 10 to 15 meters southeast of E 1 over bedrock in the bottom of the valley between the Areopagus and the Hill of the Nymphs, with pottery ranging from Geometric to late 5th century B.C.

111. GROUPS OF OSTRAKA
a deposit as E 1-la makes it unlikely that sherds from the ostrakophoria of 487 B.G. were brought here, unless all the votes for the "winner" were kept separate, which seems improbable. On the further assumption that the presence of ostraka for a particular candidate is to be expected both in the years before his ostracism and in "his" year but not in the (ten) years following, the absence of Xanthippos would also exclude the ostrakophoria of 484 B.C. and probably the two previous years. The generally accepted view therefore is that the great bulk of this deposit came from the ostrakophoria of 482 B.C. or an abortive ostrakophoria of 483 B . C . ~One difficulty with the ostrakophoria of 482, when Aristeides was ostracized, is the comparatively small number of ostraka against him: too few to be a representative sample of the total vote; too many if the votes of the "winner" were kept separate.1° The difficulty with both 483 and 482 B.C. is the presence of the two Megakles ostraka: either they must be assumed to have been introduced into a compararatively pure fill when it was dumped here in the later 5th century, or the fill was originally made up of dumps from the ostrakophoriai of both an earlier year (487 or 486 B.c., when Megakles was ostracized) and either 483 or 482 B.C. E 2 (C 18:ll). Agora XII; Hesperia 9, 1940, pp. 301-302; Young, p. 254; Hesperia, Suppl. VIII, p. 395. Along the bottom of the Great Drain, between the Areopagus and Kolonos Agoraios, 171 ostraka were found in green sandy fill over an area about four meters long. Much other pottery of the 6th and early 5th centuries was found with them, but there were also some fragments from the later 5th century, and a few Hellenistic sherds had filtered down from the upper fill. This group of ostraka may well come from a single ostrakophoria, but there is always the possibility that the water of the drain may have carried down earlier or later pieces.

Vanderpool (Semple Lectures 11, pp. 234-235) urges 483 B.c.;Thomsen (p. 92) prefers 482 B.C. The difference between Aristeides and the other "big threen (Themistokles, Kallixenos, Hippokrates) as far as location of ostraka is concerned should be noted. In Agora grid squares A 18-19 and C 18, where groups E 1-la and E 2 were found, the comparison is as follows: Aristeides-7 ostraka or 14% of the 50 found in groups Themistokles-244 ostraka or 75% of the 327 found in groups Kallixenos-213 ostraka or 84% of the 253 found in groups Hippokrates-92 ostraka or 68% of the 136 found in groups In contrast, in Agora grid squares E 15 and H 12, where groups E 4-4a and E 9, and groups E 5, E 6, E 14, E 17, E 21, E 23, and E 27 were found, this is the comparison: ,4risteides-28 ostraka or 56% of the 50 found in groups Themistokles-51 ostraka or 16% of the 327 found in groups Kallixenos-24 ostraka or 10% of the 253 found in groups Hippokrates-19 ostraka or 14% of the 136 found in groups (The percentages are very little changed if the total numbers of each man's ostraka are used, and the location of the singles, often between squares, unduly complicates the picture.) It is not easy to know quite what to make of this, but it might be that the ostraka found in the two different locations come from different ostrakophoriai. T h e simplest but highly speculative explanation would be that an ostrakophoria in 483, which was largely a contest among Themistokles, Hippokrates, and Kallixenos, failed for lack of 6000 votes, but that in 482 either Themistokles or the Alkmeonid connection found it desirable to rid Athens of Aristeides' solid conservatism. Thus the big dumps would date from 483, and the smaller collections in E 15 and H 12 would be from 482. But this still does not explain why even in E 15 and H 12 Aristeides' numbers are absolutely lower than those of the others. l 1 Of the 43,41 are of Hippokrates Al- (185-225); the two Hippokrates A- (293,294) are added thereto, since there is no trace of the son of Anaxileos. lo

(Others: Habron 1, Habronichos 1, Eratyllos 1, fragments 8.) All eight "candidatesn could have been up for ostracism in any of the known ostrakophoriai of the 480's, but the absence of Hipparchos, Megakles, and Xanthippos makes it likely again that this group comes from either an abortive ostrakophoria in 483 or that in which Aristeides was ostracized in 482 B.C.This holds true only if Kallias Kratiou was the third friend of the tyrants who was ostracized in 485 B.c., as his 760 ostraka in the great Kerameikos deposit suggest and as a number of scholars maintain.12 If he was not, and, for example, either Hippokrates or Kallixenos was, both this group and E I-la would have to be from 485 B.c., with the large number of Kallias sherds coming from 486, when he could have been runner-up with Megakles.I3 The fact that Kallias ostraka appear in no Agora group of the early period is, however, a strong argument against dating Agora groups to 485 B.c., since it is extremely unlikely that a man who received 760 votes in 486 B.C.would get off scot-free the next year, or that if his Kerameikos ostraka belong to 485 B.c., the votes of that year would have been divided between Agora and Kerameikos in such a way that no vote against Kallias came to the Agora.

(Others: Acharnion 1, Dionysios 1, Eratyllos 1, Charias Paianieus 1, Habron 1, Hierokl- 1, Kydrokles 1.) Of the early groups, this one is in many ways the most interesting, for if it represents only one ostrakophoria (not counting the sherd inscribed Charias Paianieus, which was found in a disturbed part of the fill), that ostrakophoria must be the one of 487 B.c., since in no later year of the 480's could Hipparchos have been a candidate. The presence of Megakles and Xanthippos, victims of 486 and 484 respectively, would indicate that they were already seen as possible candidates, as would the even more impressive numbers of Themistokles and Kallixenos. T o be sure, Themistokles must often have been a "popular" candidate, if we may judge from his 1696 ostraka in the Kerameikos deposit. The presence of Hippokrates Anaxileou may lend credence to the early assignment of this group, since his most securely dated ostrakon is from one of the lower levels of the only stratified group, E 8, as are also those of Hipparchos, Megakles, and Boutalion; in his other groups (E 20, E 22, E 23), although admittedly they are very small, Hippokrates Anaxileou is again associated with Boutalion, Hippokrates Alkmeonidou, and Eratyllos, as here, whereas he is completely absent from the large groups most often dated to the ostrakophoria of 482 or an abortive l 2 Cf. Thomsen, pp. 95-99, where references are given to the opinions of Daux, Mattingly, and Vanderpool.

ostrakophoria of 483 B.C.

The comparatively large number of Aristeides sherds and smaller numbers for Kallixenos and Hippokrates make this group different from E 1 and E 2, although it is like them in personnel.

CATALOGUE
The catalogue is arranged by "candidates" in English alphabetical order. Under each name the following information will appear: number of his ostraka found (1) in the Agora, (2) elsewhere, and (3) the total number; period of candidacy; original (but not exhaustive) publication references; prosopographical notes; historical material or possible date of candidacy. Under the name heading, the individual ostraka are arranged by groups (without distinction between E 1 and E l a or E 4 and E 4a), in order to keep together the ostraka found together, ending with those ostraka which were found isolated. Within any group the ostraka are arranged as follows: (1) name, patronymic, demotic; (2) name, patronymic; (3) name, demotic; (4) name. Each entry under the name heading will include the following: catalogue number Agora inventory number findspot and context date: either group number (and grid reference) or kind of fill (and grid reference); all dates are B.C. unless otherwise indicated illustration reference, if any maximum dimension of sherd nature of sherd, from what kind of vessel or clay object present condition of ostrakon (i.e., sherd on which vote was recorded), whether complete or where broken kind of inscription (incised or painted), its location on the sherd and anything unusual about its arrangement ("vertically" and "upside down" are used with reference to the vessel, i.e., vertically is at right angles to the wheel marks; upside down is with relation to the pot's orientation; for orientation of letters, see p. 9 above) text comment on spelling, letter shapes, etc. publication reference
Note that often ostraka are assigned to a particular candidate even though the preserved text could be differently interpreted. The general principle here is "to him that hath shall be given", and so where Themistokles, for example, has hundreds of ostraka in a particular group and Kydrokles has only tens, a sherd with only -okles is given to Themistokles. The fragments at the end (1070-1145) include all ostraka that were given catalogue numbers in the Agora; they are in most cases less certainly to be identified than those assigned to individuals. In addition, 165 even less informative sherds that might be probable or possible ostraka were not given Agora numbers and are not included here. Note that in the case of all publication references only original Agora publications are noted for Agora ostraka and only original publications for ostraka found elsewhere. More complete bibliography may be found in Thomsen with the most complete list of all candidates up to 1972 (pp. 71-80); more recent bibliography may be found in A. Martin (REG 102, 1989, pp. 124-145). The numbers of ostraka from the great Kerameikos deposit assigned to each candidate are taken from Thomsen, since they are more complete than those published elsewhere; see his note 59 on p. 93.

This man is not otherwise known, although the name is reasonably common. Although the context of his single ostrakon is generally late, the letter forms suggest a date early in the 5th century. Since the only names beginning with Mcya- are forms of Megakles and since the men so named in the early 5th century all seem to be Alkmeonids, it is possible that Alexis was a member of that powerful and much ostracized family. 4 (P 29462)

who figured in the ostrakophoria of 417 B.c., ostraka so inscribed must be distinguished on the basis of letter forms, pot shapes, and circumstances of finding. The revised stemma arrived at by Vanderpool (Hesperia 21, 1952, pp. 1-8) on the basis of both ostraka and literary evidence is now generally accepted (APF,p. 10) and points to the ostracism of the elder Alkibiades in 460 B.c., a year after Kimon, and for much the same reason, that is, post-Ithome anti-Spartan feeling. (Note that of the six ostraka with preserved lambdas, two have Ionic forms and four Attic, a good indication of the beginning of the mid-century shift.) 5 (P 4761)

The second name might be Charops, Charopides, or Charopinos.

Aristeides (PA, 1695; APF, pp. 48-49) was ostracized in 482 B.C.(Aristotle, AthPol22; see also Herodotos, 8.79.1), but it is not necessary to believe that the ostraka found in the Agora belong to that year. They are found frequently in groups with ostraka of Themistokles, Kallixenos, and Hippokrates, but in much smaller numbers. Therefore, only if numbers in our sample are not indicative of the whole would these groups have come from the ostrakophoria of 482 B.C.For some of the groups at least there is the possibility that they come from an earlier ostrakophoria (perhaps an abortive one in 483 B.c.) in which Aristeides received a scatter vote. H e is frequently identified on these ostraka as the son of Lysimachos and only once (34) as from Alopeke, where that designation is crossed out and Lysimachou written below. Identification of the most fragmentary pieces below is based partly on their association in groups where ostraka abound and partly on the kind of sherd and the arrangement, form, and appropriateness of letters. So, for example, the -pax- of 23 occurs in no other candidate's name and 27's alpha and lambda beginning names could only belong to Aristeides Lysimachou. 21 (P 17599) E 1 (A 18-19:l) Max. dim. 0.054 m.

Since there was no room for the last letter of the name Aristeides, it was written below the delta-epsilon; the last two letters of the patronymic curl down to find room. Published: Hesperia 5, 1936, p. 40, fig. 39.
The erasure of the second and third lines suggests that a somewhat illiterate attempt at patronymic and demotic was given up when a more confident writer supplied the neatly written patronymic below. Except for the fact that the name Aristeides is competently written on the first line, the sherd would be reminiscent of Plutarch's story of the illiterate rustic who asked Aristeides for help in voting against him (Plutarch, Arist. 7). The sherd does illustrate some of the difficulties faced by an ordinary citizen writing comparatively unfamiliar text on intractable material.

By this interpretation the line at the extreme right is probably the tail of the tau above. The spacing would then suggest a sherd so shaped that the patronymic could begin farther to the left than the name.

p. 102, note 306. Boutalion was in later times, at least, a name for a blockhead or simpleton and was so used by the poets of Middle Comedy, Antiphanes and Xenarchos. Whether the association was with the name's possible derivation from poGs or came from some particular bearer of the name is unclear. The only other Boutalion reported is probably this man's grandson, Boutalion Marathonios, one of the Treasurers of the Other Gods in 420/19 B.C. (IG 112,370, line 12). The fact that all seven of the elder Boutalion's Agora ostraka come from early groups along with Themistokles, Kallixenos, Hippokrates, and Aristeides makes it certain that he was a candidate in the 480's.

The same hand then wrote the first line with the same emphasis on the accusative ending (note the size of the alphas). A second hand, writing more lightly and confidently but omitting an alpha, added the demotic in the nominative even while avoiding the accusative ending of the first line.

Charias is a common name, but a Charias of Paiania is not known. The letter shapes on the one ostrakon belong to the second half of the 5th century, and it was found in a fill largely of the early 5th century but with some admixture of material as late as the last quarter of the century. Perhaps this is the Charias who was archon in 41 5/14 B.c., and the ostrakon was cast in the last ostrakophoria. 96 (P 4808) E 3 (E-F 12-1 4) Fig. 5 Max. dim. 0.097 m.

DIONYSIOS (K0R)ONOU

This Dieitrephes son of Euthoinos is both PA 3753 and 3754. One of his sons was the Peloponnesian War general Nikostratos (Thucydides, 5.61, 74). Another son was the Hermolykos (PA 5163) who set up a statue made by Kresilas about 440 B.C. (DAA, no. 132); he was presumably named for Dieitrephes' brother Hermolykos (PA 5164), who fought at Mykale and Karystos. The contexts in which Dieitrephes' ostraka were found suggest that he was a candidate in the late 4603s, either in the ostrakophoria in which Kimon was ostracized in 461 or in that in the next year when the elder Alkibiades may have received the most votes.

In any event, the contexts of Habron's ostraka make it certain that he was a candidate in the 480's.

The Kerameikos ostraka include the patronymic as well as the demotic, and so this man can be identified with the Habronichos (PA 20, APF, p. 1) in Herodotos, 8.21 who served as go-between for Leonidas at Thermopylai and the Athenians at Artemision. The same Habronichos went with Aristeides to Sparta to inform Themistokles that Athens' walls were substantially rebuilt (Thucydides 1.91.3). H e may also be the [ ]pdviXos of DAA, no. 387 ( = IG 12,717).

HEGESTRATOS HASIMIONOS (128-131) Agora 4. Elsewhere 0. Total 4. Candidate of the 480's. Previously published: Vanderpool in Hesperia, Suppl. VIII, pp. 398-399; Agora XXI, C8 and C9, pp. 12-13. Hegestratos has presented unusual problems. 128 and 129 were published originally by Vanderpool as ostraka. I republished them as graffiti, mistakenly, as the discovery of 130 made clear by its more certain presentation of the patronymic. But 130 presents new difficulties, since it is apparently a "reversiblen ostrakon, one which could be used against either of two candidates, depending on which side was shown. The name Hegestratos is known but not very common; Hasimion has not been reported. The particular combination of letter forms and direction of writing seems to be earlier than the 5th century: use of closed eta for aspiration (128,130); reversed three-barred sigma (129, 130); retrograde second line (128, 130). The absence of rough breathing for Hegestratos contrasts strangely with its presence for Hasimion. Since no one of the four sherds was found in company with other ostraka and all may be earlier than the 5th century, it is possible that they have a different purpose; perhaps they are some kind of counters in a game with both Hegestratos and Timodemos as meaningful names or titles; compare the children's game ostrakinda involving a sherd black on one side and white on the other (schol. Plato, Phaedrus 241B).

HIPPOKLES MENIPPOU (144 and 145) Agora 2. Elsewhere 1. Total 3. Candidate of 417-41 5 B.C. Previously published: Vanderpool in Hesperia, Suppl. VIII, p. 409; Kerameikos 111, no. 164, p. 86; Semple Lectures 11, pp. 242,249, fig. 61. The spelling and letter shapes of Hippokles' ostraka belong to the latter part of the 5th century. He is therefore to be identified with Hippokles Menippou (PA 7620), the general in 413/12 B.C. (Thucydides, 8.13). These ostraka may have been used at the time Hyperbolos was ostracized. 144 (P 2948) L 2 (J 13-14:l) Fig. 8 Max. dim. 0.063 m. From wall of pithos. Broken at top right.

HIPPOKRATES ALKMEONIDOU ALOPEKETHEN (146-273) Agora 128. Elsewhere 5. Total 133. Candidate of the 480's. Previously published: Hesperia, Suppl. IV, p. 32, fig. 24:d; Vanderpool, Hespem'a, 15, 1946, p. 274, no. 13; Kerameikos 111, pp. 85-86, nos. 162 and 163; Raubitschek, AA (JdI 84) 1969, p. 107, no. 2; Semple Lectures 11, pp. 219,228,245,248, figs. 3,39,40; Thomsen, pp. 94,96, 102, note 32 1. That Hippokrates Alkmeonidou and Hippokrates Alopekethen are one and the same is not proved by any one ostrakon on which both designations appear, but it is virtually certain that they are. Both Vanderpool (Hesperia 15,1946, pp. 274-275) and Peek (Kerameikos 111) came to this conclusion, which is strengthened by the way in which both designations are found together in the same deposits: in E 1 there are 29 with Alkmeonidou and six with Alopekethen; in E 2 there are 38 with Alkmeonidou and three with Alopekethen. This Hippokrates is otherwise not known, but he is certainly a member of the Alkmeonid family and, along with the father of Megakles Hippokratous, may testify to a connection with the Peisistratids (Peisistratos' father was Hippokrates: Herodotos, 1.59). Whether the Alkmeonides who made a dedication at the sanctuary of Apollo Ptoios in the middle of the 6th century (BCH 44,1920, pp. 227-228) could be this Hippokrates' father is uncertain, since he (Hippokrates) would belong to an earlier generation than the other candidates in the 480's. Davies (APF, p. 373) suggests that this man may be "the Hippokrates, syngenes of Megakles IV, for whom Pindar wrote a threnos (F 137 Snell) sometime in the 480's (schol. Pind. Pyth. vii.18 a)." Because both Hippokrates Alkmeonidou (or Alopekethen) and Hippokrates Anaxileou (274282) have second elements beginning with alpha, any sherd which shows only the name or the name and an initial alpha can not be assigned to either. Such ostraka are grouped together as 283-306. Of the 128 ostraka here assigned to this Hippokrates only 60 preserve evidence for the use of single or double pi: 47 (78%) show pi doubled; 13 (22%) have only one. Contrast Hipparchos Charmou (Kollyteus).

Davies (APF, loc. cit.) suggests that Anaxileos, like Charmos, may have married a daughter of the Peisistratid house and named his son after Peisistratos' father. H. A. Shapiro ("Hippokrates Son of Anaxileos," Hesperia 49, 1980, pp. 289-293) accepts this connection and adds the possibility of identifying Hippokrates with four vase inscriptions of 520-510 B.C. 274 (P 4760)

The traditional date of the ostracism of Hyperbolos (PA 13910, APF, p. 517) is 417 B.C. (based on Theopompos, FGH 115, F 96). Arguments have been made for either 416 B.C.

KALLIAS KRATIOU (ALOPEKETHEN)
KALLIAS DIDYMIOU (310-312) Agora 3. Elsewhere 6. Total 9. Candidate of the mid-century. Previously published: Hesperia 5, 1936, p. 40; 7, 1938, p. 361; AJA 39, 1935, p. 179, fig. 6; Willemsen, AcAr, p. 29; Semple Lectures 11, pp. 239-240,249, figs. 56-57; Thomsen, p. 93. Pseudo-Andokides' statement (4.32) that Kallias Didymiou was ostracized is not proved by the discovery of nine ostraka, but that he was at least a serious candidate is suggested by the painted inscription of 311 which may well have been part of a concerted campaign. Kallias son of Didymias (PA 7823) was a great athlete, beginning perhaps with a victory in the Panathenaic boys' games in 482 B.C. (DAA, no. 21) and going on to victories at all the Pan-Hellenic games (IG 12, 606)) of which only the pancratic victory at Olympia is dated (472 B.c., Pausanias, 5.9.3). The dedication on the Akropolis has been dated by letter forms to about 450 B.C. or soon after (DAA, no. 164))and the ostraka may be dated then as well, again on letter shapes. The interval between the Olympic victory and the dedication might be explained if Kallias became politically ambitious at the mid-century, wished to advertise his prowess, and so incurred at least the threat of ostracism. But the interval might as well have been filled with the other pan-Hellenic victories, in which case he would not have made the dedication until he retired. For the demotic see T. T. Rapke, "The Demotic of Kallias Didymiou," AntCl43, 1974, pp. 332-333. 310 (P 4622) E 23 (H 12) P1. 2 Max. dim. 0.082 m. From wall of large krater, with streaky glaze inside only. Complete.

Several of the many found in the Kerameikos identify him with the Persian interest. H e is generally accepted as the most likely "friend of the tyrants" not named by Aristotle (AthPol22) who was ostracized in 485 B.C.(Daux, B C H 92,1968,

P. J. Bicknell makes a strong case for Kallias' being an Alkmeonid (Studies in Athenian Politics and Genealogy, pp. 64-71). Davies (APF, p. 598) suggests a connection with the family of Kallias Hipponikou Alopekethen, which is supported and strengthened by H. A.

Kallixenos (APF, p. 376) is known only from the ostraka. As Stamires and Vanderpool pointed out (p. 378), Kallixenos is certainly a member of the Alkmeonid family. The large number of his ostraka found in the Agora groups that come from the 480's makes it likely that he was a strong candidate in one of those years, perhaps 483 B.c., according to Vanderpool (Semple Lectures 11, pp. 231-235).

The sigma written between the lines might be the end of the patronymic, as above, because the omega came to the edge, or because the sigma above at the end of the name Kallixenos ran into the edge and could not be completed, it might be a repetition of that. Perhaps the latter is more likely, leaving a genitive of the patronymic ending in omega, for which there are several parallels (see p. 13 above).

Incised outside: K a h i ~ ( ~ ) c v o s or K(a]ht~B&os 'Aprurdvvpov 'Ap~~rdvvPos Like 347, 360, and 464 this is presumably a misspelling of Kallixenos by a writer who had his important relative in mind. The patronymic's last letter is written below the line for lack of space, but it is difficult to know what its orientation may be; if it is like the line above, it is a nu, but if the sherd was turned and the letter was oriented to the right edge, it is a reversed sigma. In the latter case it would be nominative, and there is the barest possibility that a really confused citizen was voting against Aristonymos the son of Kleisthenes. See Vanderpool's suggestion (Stamires and Vanderpool, p. 378) that Kallixenos' father was a younger brother of Kleisthenes whose demotic differed from most of the Alkmeonids because he had moved out before the reforms of 508/7 B.C. The strokes in the next to last syllable of the patronymic make it difficult to determine whether the vowel is upsilon or iota. Published: Stamires and Vanderpool, p. 387, no. 23, fig. 16.

recalled before five years had elapsed, that is, after the battle of Tanagra, in the summer of 457 B.C. (Plutarch, Kimon 18.1; Perikles 10.4). R. K. Unz argues (CQ 36, 1986, pp. 68-85) for Kimon's ostracism in 459 B.C. Several of the ostraka found in the Agora may well come from Kimon's ostrakophoria, whatever the year, on the basis of both contexts and letter shapes. But since several of the Kimon ostraka from the great Kerameikos deposit make joins with (or come from the same pot as) ostraka inscribed with the names of Megakles and Themistokles (Daux, BCH 92, 1968, pp. 732-733), it may be that Kimon was also a candidate as early as 486 B.C. (Williams, ZPE 31, 1978, pp. 103-1 13). For a contrary view, see Daux, 1oc.cit. and Lewis, ZPE 14, 1974, pp. 1-4. For a Kimon ostrakon from the North Slope of the Akropolis, see 1337 Z. 592 (P 18339)

Agora 2. Elsewhere 0. Total 2. Candidate of the 480's. Previously published: Hesperia 17, 1948, p. 194. Vanderpool has suggested (in MS) that this otherwise unknown man may be identical with the Kleiboulos who set up a monument over the grave of his son Xenophantos in the late 6th or early 5th century (IG 12, 986). Whether the Nikodemos who was archon in 483/2 B.C. (Aristotle, AthPol 22.7) could be this candidate's father seems unlikely, but he might be a son or other relative. The writing and contexts of the two ostraka indicate a date in the 480's.

KLEOPHON KLEIPPIDOU ACHARNEUS
(600-607)
Agora 8. Elsewhere 0. Total 8. Candidate of 417-415 B.C. Previously published: Hesperia 21, 1952, pp. 113-1 15, pl. 31; 24, 1955, p. 69; Vanderpool, Hesperia 37, 1968, p. 120, no. 6, pl. 34 and 43, 1974, p. 192, nos. 8 and 9, fig. 1, pl. 28; Semple Lectures 11, pp. 220, 241-242,249, fig. 58. The ostraka of Kleophon (PA 8638) must have been cast in the last ostrakophoria (traditionally 417 B.c.), but his period of greatest activity was in the last decade of the century. The ostraka have been important in showing that the slurs about demagogue Kleophon as a foreigner by birth and a lyremaker by trade are untrue and unlikely. He is now known to belong to the deme Acharnai and to be in all probability the son of the Kleippides who was general in 428 B.C.(Thucydides, 3.3.2) and himself a candidate for ostracism (Thomsen, p. 76, note 115). See also Philinos Kleippidou (659) for a probable brother. 600 ( P 29041)

Despite the otherwise unknown patronymic, this Kritias is likely to be PA 8791, the grandfather of Kritias the tyrant (APF, pp. 324-326). Vanderpool (Hesperia, Suppl. VIII, p. 399) suggests that the patronymic may be formed from Leaios, a name known in 4th-century Athens (PA 9030). Letter shapes and one context indicate a date in the 480's.

VIII, pp. 395,397,410; Thomsen, pp. 94, 100, 103, 106. Kydrokles (APF, p. 513) is known only from the ostraka, but that he is the brother of Aristaichmos Timokratous Kriothen seems clear. And that connection makes it certain that the ostraka naming Kydrokles Timokratous and those with Kydrokles Kriothen both refer to the same man, as was already most probable from their being found in the same group. Contexts and writing of the ostraka both indicate a date in the 480's. Fig. 19 610 (P 17774) E 1 (A 18-19:l) Max. dim. 0.068 m.

LAISPODIAS KOILETHEN
(627)
Agora 1. Elsewhere 0. Total 1. Candidate of the 480's. Previously published: Vanderpool in Hesperia, Suppl. VIII, pp. 400-401. Laispodias belongs by letter shapes to the early part of the 5th century. A known bearer of the name is a late 5th-century general (41 5/14 B.c., Thucydides, 6.105), who is probably also the envoy to Sparta of 41 1 B.C.(Thucydides, 8.86.9) and may or may not be the object of Antiphon's ~ a r h Aaiu.rro8~ov.T he Laispodias of the ostrakon may be a grandfather of the later general, related or not to an earlier Lais[podias] taken by Raubitschek (DAA, no. 87) to be the father of the Spo[u]dis who made a dedication about 500 B.C.(IG 12,616). Our candidate might then be the son of that Spo[u]dis and allow the ostrakon to be restored thus: Aaiu{i)n[o6ias] 2' KoiAc[s ho] X{i)nov6i[6cs]

Aristotle reports (AthPol22.5) that Megakles (PA 9695, APF, p. 379) was the second friend of the tyrants to be ostracized (487/6 B.c.). The very large number (4647) of his ostraka in the great Kerameikos deposit suggests that the sherds from the ostrakophoria of 486 B.C.were deposited there. There are objections to that date, based both on the presence of votes on adjoining sherds and pieces of a single pot against men who were perhaps more likely to be victims somewhat later and on the fact that the rude comments on Megakles' sherds from the Kerameikos concentrate on his morals more than on his tyrannic tendencies, as would be expected in 486 B.C. (Lewis, Z P E 14, 1974,

IV. CATALOGUE
pp. 1-4). It is suggested that the great Kerameikos deposit dates from the early 470's and that the large vote against Megakles was for a second ostracism, which is doubtfully attested by Lysias, 14.39 (Bicknell, AntCl44, 1975, pp. 172-175). Until the publication of the Kerameikos ostraka, it seems better to assign them to the certain Aristotelian date (Williams, ZPE 31,1978, pp. 103-1 13). In that case, it would be reasonable to assume that the groups in the Agora which include Megakles ostraka (E 1, E 3, E 8, E 27) come at least in part from 486 or possibly 487, while those groups of considerable size which do not include Megakles are likely to come from a later year or years (E 2, E 4, E 5, E 6).

This man may be the Melanthios mentioned by Herodotos (5.97) as leading the Athenian fleet sent in 498 B.C. to aid the Ionians in their revolt from Persia. The ostraka bearing his name seem to be from one or more of the ostrakophoriai of the 480's, by which time a man with a proved antiPersian past might have aroused the enmity of those few who despaired of successful opposition to the threatened Persian invasion (Herodotos, 7.142).

This Menon was apparently a naturalized citizen, having been rewarded for his support of the Athenians at Eion (Demosthenes, 23.199; see Raubitschek, Hesperia 24, 1955, pp. 286-289). The only evidence we have that he was ostracized is from Hesychios (s.v. Meudvr6ar): "Some say that Menon was ostracized." The number of ostraka is sufficient to indicate that there was considerable sentiment against him but hardly enough to prove that he was actually ostracized. The date of his "participation" is likely to have been in the second quarter of the 5th century.

Although he was never ostracized, Perikles (PA 11811, APF, pp. 456-460) may often have been a candidate, since he was in the forefront of political action for more than thirty years.

The two different styles of writing on our two ostraka may illustrate either the fairly disparate dates of his candidacy or the age range of his ill-wishers.

Phaiax (PA 13921, APF, pp. 52 1-524) was involved with either Alkibiades alone or both Alkibiades and Nikias in the collusion that resulted in the ostracism of the rascal Hyperbolos and gave the Athenians such a disgust of the practice that no other ostrakophoria was ever held. The versions of the affair (Plutarch, Aristeides 7 and Nikias 11; Alkibiades 13; Pseudo-Andokides, 4) and dates (ranging from 417 to 41 5 B.c.) of that last ostrakophoria have been much discussed.

PHALANTHOS SPINTHAROU
(657)
Agora 1. Elsewhere 0. Total 1. Candidate of the 480's. Previously published: Vanderpool in Hesperia, Suppl. VIII, p. 402. Vanderpool suggested (loc. cit.) that Phalanthos, if the restoration is correct, might be the father of Melanthios Phalanthou (640-642 above). It seems unlikely that a son who was important enough to head an Athenian expedition in 498 B.C. would have a father sufficiently active after 487 B.C. to be feared as a possible tyrant. The restoration of the patronymic by Vanderpool as [C].rriv6iLpois based on two occurrences of the name in 5th-century Athens (IG 12,928, line 76; 950, line 102).

It is virtually certain that this Philinos (PA 14300) is the brother of Kleophon Kleippidou (600-607). Raubitschek (loc. cit.) would also identify him with "that Philinos whom the speaker of Antiphon's sixth oration successfully indicted for theft of public funds (VI,12 and 35-43)."

] KRATES[ 1 ATHMO[ ] (660) Agora 1. Elsewhere 0. Total 1. Candidate of the mid-century. Previously published: Phillips, pp. 129- 133. Identification is difficult since the single ostrakon is incomplete. T h e simplest restoration would give us Phrynondas son of Kratesios, Kratesippos, Kratesilaos, or such. But the only Phrynondas known to us was a notorious, and probably foreign, rascal often mentioned by writers of comedy, orators, and even Plato as the personification of wickedness. If he was a foreigner living in Athens during the Peloponnesian War (Suda, s.u.), he was too late and otherwise unlikely to be the subject of this one ostrakon which was found along with ostraka of Themistokles, Kimon, and Dieitrephes. So this Phrynondas is otherwise unknown, but if the third line is correctly interpreted as a demotic, he was certainly a citizen and is likely to have been a candidate in the second quarter of the 5th century. See Phillips, loc. cit., for a different interpretation. PHRYNONDL

I
(662)
Agora 1. Elsewhere 0. Total 1. Candidate of the 480's. Previously published: in list in Meiggs and Lewis, p. 46; Thomsen, pp. 106-107. A later Spintharos (PA 12855), at the end of the century, is certainly the father of a Euboulos (PA 5369). The writing on this one Spintharos sherd indicates that it belongs early in the century, and so, if related to the later Spintharos, he must have been grandfather or great uncle. It is difficult at the same time to connect him to Phalanthos Spintharou because the ostraka of all three (Spintharos, Phalanthos [657], and Melanthios Phalanthou [640-6421) seem to be contemporary. If there is relationship among them it must be more cognate than lineal. See also H. R. Immerwahr, "A Lekythos in Toronto and the Golden Youth of Athens," Hesperia, Suppl. XIX (pp. 59-65), p. 62. 662 (P 4736) 5th century (N 14) Fig. 21 Max. dim. 0.062 m. From wall of large handmade vessel, probably late Neolithic or Early Helladic, with matt glaze outside.

father of Hippokleides, archon 566/5 B.C. (PA7617), has been argued by N. G. L. Hammond ("11. The Philaids and the Chersonese," CQ 6, 1\56 [pp. 113-3291, pp. 127-128), making Isagoras a Philaid and seeing the rivalry between Isagoras and Kleisthenes as rivalry between Philaids and Alkmeonids. The connection has been doubted (D. M . Lewis, "Cleisthenes and Attica," Historia 12, 1963 [pp. 22-40], pp. 25-26 and Davies, APF, p. 296), largely because Herodotos clearly states that he cannot trace the connections of Isagoras Teisandrou farther back, although he shows himself well acquainted with the Philaid origins in Aias' son Philaios and the line from Kypselos down (6.34-36; 103-104). Bicknell (Studies in Athenian Politics and Genealogy, pp. 84-88) agrees that Isagoras Teisandrou cannot be a Philaid, but by making his father a brother of Kimon Koalemos and son of Stesagoras he accounts both for his being of a "worthy family" and yet not a Philaid. Bicknell also argues for a second Isagoras (brother of Miltiades I1 and son of Kimon Koalemos) on the basis of Nepos' report that Miltiades'frater . . agoras came to Miltiades' defense in 489 B.C. (Miltiades 7.5). The ostrakon cannot settle the matter of Isagoras' kinship but merely gives us one more generation. 663 (P 31076)

Themistokles (PA 6669, APF, pp. 455-456) was certainly ostracized sometime in the late 470's (Thucydides, 1.135.3), but the large numbers of his ostraka found in the Agora (and possibly those from the Kerameikos as well) come from the ostrakophoriai of the 4807s,when his hawkish policies met with opposition.

Whether the one sherd with Thrasykles' name is an ostrakon in the political sense of the word is uncertain. A sherd with a name in the dative could as well be a tag. But it was found in an early context with an indubitable ostrakon of Megakles, and, as Vanderpool suggested (loc. cit.), this Thrasykles could easily be a grandfather of the Thrasykles who was active in the latter part of the century (PA 73 17). 1052 (P 4661)

APPENDIX
NORTH SLOPE OSTRAKA
In a well on the North Slope of the Akropolis, which was excavated by Oscar Broneer in 1937, there were found 191 ostraka. Broneer determined' that the well, having been dug and used in the 6th century B.c., went out of use by the end of the century and began to fill up gradually. The 190 ostraka of Themistokles were found at about four meters from the bottom of the well, which had a total depth of 18.40 m. The one Kimon ostrakon was found about twelve meters from the bottom, and the well was completely filled by the end of the third quarter of the 5th century, the latest sherds being red-figured sherds of about 430 B.C. As Broneer pointed out,2 the remarkable consistency and uniformity of the 190 Themistokles ostraka suggest that they were not a chance collection of votes that had been cast and then disposed of. It seems clear that they were made as a group, whether to distribute or to sell, but that for one reason or another they were never used but tidied away in the well. The consistency and uniformity are evident both in the kind of sherds used and in the nature of the writing. Concerning the sherds, Broneer noted four classes: kylix bases (122), skyphos bases (10)) small bowls (26)) and small sherds (32). The kylix bases are of three kinds, described with profiles and designated as I, 11, and 111 by B r ~ n e e rthey ; ~ range in diameter from 0.062 m. to 0.075 m. and are closely similar to Agora kylix bases used as ostraka for Kallixenos, Themistokles, e t ~The . ~ skyphos bases are all very much alike and find parallels among Agora skyphoi of the 4 8 0 ' ~ The . ~ small bowls, averaging 0.074 m. in top diameter, perhaps only leather-hard or so badly fired as to present an easier writing surface, are poor examples of a type represented by P 12378,6 which broke easily as they dried out after removal from the well. As possible "wastersn they suggest that the makers of this group of ostraka had access to a potter's throwaways and that the potter had recently suffered an accident involving such breakage in a batch of kylikes and skyphoi that only the bases were salvageable. The fourth type of ostraka is small sherds, some from the broken kylikes and others from similar vessels that like the bowls had been inadequately fired. In addition to the uniformity of materials, the 190 ostraka show remarkable similarities in the form and content of their inscriptions. Broneer distinguished 14 different hands on the basis of certain combinations of letter forms, and his assignments have been kept here, in order to avoid confusion, although some anomalies will be pointed out and possible changes suggested. That is, for the most part Broneer used one chief criterion to identify each hand, and this has sometimes brought together strange bedfellows: pieces which by one criterion belong to one hand and by another criterion to a different hand. But whatever the details of the classification by hands may be, it is certain that the uniformity in general argues a comparatively small number of writers. The catalogue is arranged by hands, with an introduction to each hand noting its characteristics, pointing out variations from the norm, and listing specific errors made by the hand. A new ,~ the letter designating the hand and number has been assigned to each ~ s t r a k o nincorporating Hesperia 7 , 1938, pp. 212-252. Ibid., pp. 228-243. 'Ibid., p. 229. See Agora XII, nos. 421-431, fig. 20. See Agora XII, nos. 338 and 339, pl. 16. Saltcellar: Agora XII, no. 951, pl. 34. Because both texts of A 0 36 have been given numbers (1247 F, 1319 M), the 190 Themistokles ostraka are numbered here from 1146 to 1336.

were assigned before hands were distinguished and so make for some confusion. For each ostrakon the catalogue includes the new number, the excavation or A 0 (Akropolis Ostraka) number, the kind of sherd, the maximum dimension of sherds (the types and uniformity of the bases and bowls make measurement there unnecessary), location and orientation of the inscription, the text, and a note of peculiarities. THEMISTOKLES NEOKLEOUS PHREARRIOS
(1146-1336)
HANDA (1146 A-1177 A; P1.4) Hand A includes 31 kylix bases and 1 skyphos base. All are inscribed on the underside with letters facing out, that is, with their bottoms toward the center. The theta, mostly circular but occasionally square, is crossbarred, with upright or St. Andrew's cross; sigma has acute angles; the side bars of kappa make an angle that ranges from acute to right. Eight of the pieces have two vertical lines, one marking the beginning and the other the end of Themistokles' name (1146 A, 1150 A, 1151 A, 1155 A, 1164 A, 1165 A, 1170 A, 1174 A). The other 24 have only one such line: on one (1152 A) it precedes the name; on all the others it follows the name, thereby separating it from the patronymic. Except for 1157 A, which has smaller letters, more space between the end and the beginning of the inscription than the others, and is, except for the vertical-line punctuation, most like Hand B, this hand shows both the greatest uniformity and fewest errors. The few errors: 1163 A includes an extra sigma in the name Themistokles; 1174 A originally started the patronymic with a mu and the beginnings of a round letter but corrected these to nu epsilon; 1176 A has a vertical bar in the first omicron, making it look like a phi. 1146 A ( A 0 8) Kylix I Inscribed beneath, with letters facing out and evenly spaced around the base.

145
HANDB (1178 B-1210 B; P1. 5) Hand B includes 20 kylix bases, 2 skyphos bases, 9 bowls or fragments, and two sherds. All bases, except 1178 B and 1191 B, are inscribed beneath, with letters facing out. All bowls are inscribed inside and, except for 1208 B and 1210 B, have letters facing in. The sherds are inscribed on the inside. The letters of Hand B are slightly smaller than those of Hand A but similar, except that sigma has a more vertical lower stroke. On two pieces (1188 B and 1195 B) there is verticalline punctuation like that of Hand A, and the latter was written with a finer point than the others. Three other pieces (1178 B, 1192 B, and 1198 B) show the uncontracted ending of the name Themistokles, as do also the ostraka of Hands G and H . The four ostraka (1184 B, 1191 B, 1199 B, and 1200 B) that add iko should perhaps be separated out, as should also the only two of the whole 190 that spell Themistokles with a tau in the third syllable (1182 B and 1183 B). Errors or corrections: 1185 B has kappa written over lambda and a first theta like that of Hand C; 1191 B was inscribed on top after an abortive attempt underneath; 1192 B, 1197 B, and 1198 B all show what appear to be reversed sigmas, and 1198 B possibly omits the omicron from Themistokles; on 1196 B the fourth stroke of a mu written for nu is crossed out; 1200 B has two-dot punctuation between name and patronymic like the ostraka of Hand I and misspells the patronymic. 1178 B ( A 0 5) Kylix 11 Inscribed on top, with letters facing out and evenly spaced around the base.

HANDE (1229E-1243 E;P1.7) Hand E includes 14 kylix bases and one bowl. All the kylix bases except 1240 E are inscribed beneath; on nine pieces the inscription circles the center with letters facing in; on five the names are arranged in two lines (four with letters facing out and one with letters facing in). The bowl is inscribed inside, with letters facing out. The letters are very small and written with a very fine point; when the two names circle the bases they are separated from each other by varying amounts. The theta has a short vertical bar or dot; the sigma is very open; the kappa side bars are wide-angled and do not always touch the upright. The difference between the pieces on which the inscription is on two lines and those where it circles might mean different hands. Errors or peculiarities: on 1229 E the first and third omicrons have an extra stroke, looking almost like phi; 1237 E has only two side bars on the fourth epsilon; 1240 E omits the first epsilon of the patronymic, which has an Ionic lambda; on 1241 D there is an abortive beginning (a single nu) of the patronymic after a short space, while the completed patronymic is placed on the opposite side of the base from the name.

APPENDIX: N O R T H SLOPE OSTRAKA
The dotted theta is the chief means of identifying Hand F, and only those with dotted theta that meet some other specific criterion were separated out (that is, to Hand I or Hand K). With so large a number, there are several other criteria which might divide the group: five pieces show the name Themistokles in the dative case (1267 F, 1268 F, 1284 F, 1286 F, 1287 F); reversed or four-barred sigmas occur on six (1262 F, 1266 F, 1269 F, 1271 F, 1273 F, 1278 F); 1270 F, 1277 F, and 1290 F show the uncontracted ending of the name Themistokles; two sherds (1252 F and 1254 F) are written with a finer point, the latter of which has a different format; 1247 F is opisthographic, with Hand F on top and Hand M on the underside. Errors or peculiarities: 1245 F has mu for nu; 1251 F omits the final sigma; 1260 F changes an Ionic lambda to Attic; 1262 F shows a reversed nu; 1264 F omits the first epsilon; 1273 F is inscribed on both sides, with the inside text erased; 1280 F has the genitive case of the name Themistokles; 1284 F shows an inserted lambda. 1244 F ( A 0 22) Kylix I1 Inscribed beneath, with letters facing out and 0.025 m. space between end and beginning.

HANDG (1295G and 1296 G; P1.lO) Hand G includes 2 kylix bases, one inscribed on top, the other underneath, both with letters facing out. T h e chief criteria here are multiple-barred sigmas (but compare the four-barred sigmas in Hand F), the crossbarred theta, and the uncontracted ending of Themistokles (but compare others such in Hands B, F, H , and K). Both ostraka here could fit into Hand B with no more difficulty than some that are already there.

HAND H (1297H-1299 H ; P1.lO) Hand H includes 3 kylix bases. Two are inscribed beneath, the other on top; all have letters facing out. The chief criteria are the uncontracted ending of the name Themistokles (but see other examples in Hands B, F, G, and K) and the crossbarred theta. The letters are very little smaller than those of Hand G or some of Hand B, so that it would be possible either to make up an -&s hand (especially since 1297 H has a four-barred sigma like 1295 G) or to include the three ostraka of Hand H with those of Hand B.

Letter forms include dotted theta and a lambda almost V-shaped; all except 1301 I have two-dot punctuation between the name and the patronymic.

HAND K (1307 K-1314 K; P1.11) Hand K includes 7 kylix bases and 1 sherd. Of the seven kylix bases six are inscribed beneath, with letters facing out; the one (1314 K) is inscribed on top, with letters facing in. The chief criterion of identification is the use of the demotic instead of the patronymic. Also characteristic is the dotted theta (except for 1310 K, 1312 K, and 1314 K again, which is also the only one of this hand with punctuation). Both 1307 K and 1309 K show four-barred sigmas; 1310 K shows the uncontracted form of the name Themistokles. The variety of both thetas and sigmas suggests the possibility that various hands experimented with the demotic. Errors or corrections: 1308 K omits the final sigma of the name Themistokles; 1310 K uses the same crossbarred circle for both theta and phi and misspells both the ending of the name and the demotic; the first theta on 1312 K has crossbars; on 1313 K the kappa of Themistokles was at first omitted, then the lambda was converted to kappa and the lambda written in above the line. 1307 K ( A 0 6)

The kappa and the lambda of the name Themistokles are written on top of each other (followed by another lambda), so that it is not possible to determine which was first. Cf. 1313 K. In the ending, for which there was not room on the first line, there is an upright stroke after the first epsilon, apparently starting the second epsilon, but because there was not sufficent space, a new epsilon with the final sigma was written down the right side of the sherd. The demotic is misspelled, whether because either rho or epsilon was omitted and the other unfinished is uncertain.

COMPARISON OF OSTRAKA FROM THE NORTHSLOPE AND THE AGORA Because the Agora ostraka seem to be the "amateur" products of almost as many hands as there are sherds while those of the North Slope seem to have been written by a few "professionals", it is interesting to compare the two groups on matters such as materials, text, format, alphabet, sounds and spelling, and grammar. As far as materials are concerned, the limited range of sherds used in the North Slope group (kylix and skyphos bases, misfired small bowls, and very small fine-ware sherds) contrasts with the almost limitless variety in the Agora group. Also, all the North Slope ostraka are incised rather than painted, and the incision is made with either a fine or extra fine point, unlike so many Agora ostraka, which often seem to have been written with a fairly blunt instrument.
COMPARISON OF OSTRAKA FROM THE NORTH SLOPE AND THE AGORA
159
Text. Unlike the Agora ostraka, the content of which ranges from name alone, through name with patronymic or demotic, to name with both, the North Slope ostraka show only name and patronymic, except for the eight assigned to Hand K (1307 K-1314 K), which have only the name and demotic. Other additions are rare in the Agora group, but four of the North Slope pieces of Hand B add the third person singular imperative of the verb to go (1184 B, 1191 B, 1199 B, 1200 B). Format. The few Agora ostraka which exhibit different kinds of writing (retrograde, boustrophedon, Schlangenschrift) have no parallel among the North Slope ostraka. The uniformity of the writing there is largely the result of the uniformity of the sherds, since both on bases and inside bowls the natural thing is to write around in a single line from left to right. Only on a few bases and on the small sherds is the inscription arranged in two lines. Punctuation is much more frequent on the North Slope ostraka (perhaps because of the circular form), with vertical lines between the two elements on 40 sherds (1146 A-1177 A, 1188 B, 1195 B, 1212 C, 1221 C, 1247 F, 1316 L-1318 L) and with two dots on eight examples (1200 B, 1300 I, 1302 1-1306 I, 1314 K). Alphabet. The comparison here is obviously only with the early ostraka from the Agora. Ionic lambda occurs on six North Slope ostraka: in both name and patronymic on 1320 M , 1321 M , and 1323 M ; in one or the other only on 1240 E, 1260 F, and 1325 0 , with the Ionic form on the second being changed to the Attic. This 3-percent occurrence of Ionic lambda compared to the one Ionic lambda against 580 Attic lambdas in the Agora suggests that the North Slope "hands" were more advanced in literacy. As far as thetas are concerned, of the 180 North Slope ostraka complete enough to be assigned to hands just half have crossbars, while all thetas of Hand F and most of Hands I, K, L, N, and 0 have dots, and those of Hands E and M have short or long vertical strokes. Again, the Agora ostraka, where crossbarred thetas make up 78 percent of the whole, seem to be the products of less advanced writers. The use of four-barred sigmas is limited to seven North Slope ostraka (1262 F, 1271 F, 1273 F, 1295 G , 1297 H , 1307 K, 1309 K) and is not consistent even on these, sometimes appearing before theta or in one of the final positions but never in all three at once. Two ostraka (1295 G and 1296 G) even have five-barred sigmas. Since Themistokles' name involves no sigmas that come before vowels but only finals and those before a dental, these North Slope ostraka provide no evidence on the possible differentiation of sibilants suggested in connection with the use of four-barred sigmas on the Agora ostraka. The use of reversed three-barred sigmas is similarly erratic on North Slope ostraka: before theta on 1192 B, 1197 B, 1269 F, and 1322 M ; one final on 1198 B, 1320 M , and 1321 M ; before theta and one final on 1266 F and 1319 M; and all three on 1323 M . Only two ostraka show doubled sigma before theta: 1316 L and 1318 L. Sounds and Spelling. The use of omega to reproduce the sound of the contracted genitive ending is found only in Hand L (1315 L-1318 L); this is roughly comparable to the handful of instances among the Agora ostraka, but its occurrence here in only one hand does suggest that it is idiosyncratic. T a u for medial theta in Themistokles occurs on only two of the North Slope ostraka (1182 B and 1183 B), a much smaller percentage than appeared in the Themistokles ostraka from the Agora (1 percent us. 8 percent); this, taken with the North Slope hands' possibly more advanced literacy suggested above, might indicate that the use of tau was an older style. The only evidence for doubling of consonants on the North Slope ostraka would come in Themistokles' demotic, but only the eight sherds written by Hand K (1307 K-1314 K) use the demotic, and all agree with the majority on Agora ostraka in keeping the old-fashioned single rho.
160
APPENDIX: NORTH SLOPE OSTRAKA
In line with North Slope hands' greater sophistication is the increase in vowel contraction: on only 12 ostraka (7 percent) does the uncontracted ending of the name Themistokles appear in comparison with 34 percent in the Agora group. But the fact that the 12 examples come from five different hands (1178 B, 1192 B, 1198 B, 1270 F, 1277 F, 1290 F, 1295 G, 1296 G, 1297 H , 1298 H , 1299 H , 1310 K) may suggest that even the more advanced might suffer relapses, unless of course some hand-assignments are questionable. Epsilon and sigma are the most frequently omitted letters on North Slope ostraka. Twice the second epsilon of the patronymic Neokleos is omitted (1228 D and 1305 I), as if still further contracted; once the first epsilon of Neokleos is omitted (1240 E), as if that too was contracted; but the omission of the first epsilon in the name Themistokles (1264 F) suggests that even North Slope hands could make simple mistakes. Final sigma is omitted twice from Themistokles (1308 K and 1317 L) and once from Neokleos (1251 F); the medial sigma of the name Themistokles is omitted once (1212 C). These omissions seem to be the result of carelessness, like those of iota from Themistokles (1300 I) and lambda from Neokleos (1225 D). At the same time, there is considerable evidence for care taken in making corrections. On 1225 D, where the lambda was omitted from the patronymic Neokleos, the originally omitted lambda in the name Themistokles was written over the epsilon, and the epsilon repeated. Similarly, the lambda originally omitted from the patronymic in 1284 F was written in above the line, as was the patronymic's first omicron on 1299 H . In four cases kappa and lambda seem to be written together, as if one had been omitted and the other had been fixed up to do double duty: 1163 A, 1185 B, 1310 K, 1313 K (in the last two cases a new lambda was also added). On several ostraka the initial nu of the patronymic had an extra stroke, like a mu, which was then crossed out (1196 B, 1224 D), converted to the following epsilon's upright (1174 A), or left (1245 F). The initial nu might also be reversed, as on 1262 F, 1321 M , and 1322 M; the W-shaped nu of 1303 I seems to have resulted from the addition of a fourth stroke to a reversed nu. The writer of 1303 I had other troubles too: he started the medial theta of the name Themistokles before the sigma and so had to overwrite; and the kappa in the patronymic appears to have been converted from an epsilon. On 1220 C the second letter of the name was started as an omicron and then converted to an epsilon. Extra letters appear as follows: sigma after medial theta in the name Themistokles (1163 A); nu after first epsilon in the patronymic Neokleos (1200 B); kappa and an upright between name and patronymic on 1295 G were crossed out. Apparent misspellings result from omicron's having a vertical stroke like a phi: 1176 A, 1200 B, and 1229 E. A clear misspelling of the demotic on 1310 K involves a phi crossbarred like theta as well as one or two missing letters and is accompanied by some uncertainty in the ending of the name Themistokles. In general the spelling on North Slope ostraka is somewhat less erratic than on those from the Agora, but that is exactly what one would expect, on the practice-makes-perfect principle, of writers repeating themselves. Grammar. The name Themistokles most often appears in the nominative case on the North Slope ostraka, but there are two examples of the genitive (1280 F, 1323 M), six examples of the dative (1267 F, 1268 F, 1284 F, 1286 F, 1287 F, 1301 I), and one example of the dative changed to the nominative (1299 H). In view of the Agora practice the dative is not at all surprising, especially since it is mostly limited to one hand. But the genitive is odd, both because of its complete absence on Agora ostraka and because its meaning is difficult to divine. Perhaps it is simply a matter of anticipatory dittography in view of the similar ending of the patronymic. As on the Agora ostraka there are a few examples of the patronymic in the nominative: 1303 I, 1319 M , 1322 M .
COMPARISON OF OSTRAKA FROM T H E NORTH SLOPE AND THE AGORA
161
The "professionally" prepared Themistokles ostraka found in the North Slope well raises the question whether other ostraka were mass produced either for distribution or for sale. One very suggestive group of Kallixenos sherds may serve to illustrate the possibility (Fig. 30). All are written on the outside of sherds from the wall of large closed vessels with or without bands or poor glaze. All show considerable uniformity in arrangement, spacing, spelling, and letter shapes (alphas with slanting bars, tall and thin lambdas, X-shaped chis). Because Agora ostraka are sown broadcast, this kind of uniformity is much harder to detect than in the homogeneous, one-candidate group found in the North Slope well. The uniformity of this sample Kallixenos group illustrated in Figure 30 leapt to the eye only because, coming from the same deposit and naming the same man, they ended up in the same museum drawer. It might be possible to add to this group other Kallixenos ostraka from other deposits and even ostraka naming other men written by the same hand. In the latter case at least, it would be likely that a professional but unprejudiced scribe was active in the manufacture of ostraka for sale. But detecting the same hand at work in different names with but few common letters is a very subjective business, especially with such largely fragmentary material.
DEPOSIT SUMMARIES In conformity with other volumes of the Agora series an alphabetic list of Deposits is given here, although more than half the Ostrakon Groups are not Deposits in the usual sense, that is, a body of disparate materials which, by their association with one another in a well, cistern, pit, dump, or construction filling, can be used to establish chronological relationships. Such deposits are dignified with a Deposit number added to the grid designation, as, for example, C 18:ll indicates the eleventh filling thought to be a more or less consistent deposit found in C 18; it happens to include both Ostrakon Group E 2 and a quantity of other pottery of the early 5th century. Listed here in grid alphabetic order are both the properly constituted and numbered Deposits in which either Ostrakon Groups or singles are included and those Groups made up of ostraka found together in fill which is more often than not dated by the ostraka themselves. For descriptions of the Deposits that are, or include, Ostrakon Groups, see Chapter I11 above; only the Deposits in which single ostraka appear are described here in brief summaries of fuller accounts given in relevant Agora volumes, which are listed in each case, or of study-notes by excavators and others in the Agora.
