“…127 Ciò tocca inevitabilmente il dibattito in merito alla eventuale distinzione tra terre pubbliche e sacre. La terra sacra, intesa come terra di proprietà del dio, è ritenuta inalienabile da Isager e Skidsgaard ( , 181-90), Horster (2004, Ismard (2010), ed è uno dei criteri impiegati da Papazarkadas (2011) per distinguere tra terre sacre e terre pubbliche ad Atene. Se così fosse, si potrebbe escludere tale status per la terra a Salmone del nostro documento.…”

“…The halonai are glossed by LSJ as ‘contractors for salt-works’ ( I. Priene 67.115); the nomonai are glossed as those officials who lease public pasture ( IG VII 3171.43). A second alternative is that such magistrates are farmers or collectors of taxes: Papazarkadas, in his discussion of attestation of hylonai (known neither to LSJ nor to Kretschmer) in a fourth-century tribal decree from the Athenian agora, suggests that they were individuals (or centrally appointed magistrates) who had bid for and purchased the right to collect taxes, presumably in the form of wood (Papazarkadas 2009, 160).…”

“… 39 Attic gene and orgeones could own considerable amounts of land, as Papazarkadas 2011, 181–206 points out, and, in Attica, other types of association could act as administrators of property or even landholders, and they could generate an income from leasing (Papazarkadas 2011, 206–11). For non-Attic associations owning land, including that for burials and clubhouses, see Nijf 1997, 38–55, 107; Arnaoutoglou, 2011, 29; Gabrielsen 2009, 182 n. 36. …”

This article publishes a new decree from the storerooms of Liverpool's World Museum. We provide a text and translation of the document, and discuss difficulties in reading the text as well as restorations where the stone is illegible. We offer an approximate dating of the document to the mid-third century, and suggest, on prosopographical and formulaic grounds, that it derives from Erythrae. We offer an interpretation of the status of the transaction (which describes itself as a gnome), the officials mentioned in the document, and the activities and nature of the Phrikyladai.

“…The earliest example of religious personnel involved in what we are investigating, a behavior which may be called ritual accounting, comes from the || 7 For the various uses of money in the economy of sanctuaries and the administration of sacred property in classical Athens, see Davies (2001), Horster (2004, Papazarkadas (2011).

Priestly Portion vs. Cult Fees − The Finances of Greek Sanctuaries

A number of Greek sacred laws provide for the use of coins as preliminary offerings, often with the stipulation that the worshiper must insert a specific amount of coined money into a stone offering box or thesauros before participating in a cult activity. Sanctuary personnel, especially priests and priestesses, were charged in these inscriptions with regulating such income. Special care was taken to separate coined money intended for the divinity from any money which could be claimed by the priest or priestess as a portion or honorarium. This paper explores the details of how sanctuary personnel carried out this "sacred accounting," perhaps incorporating coins into more traditional methods for carrying out preliminary offerings. Inscriptions from Athens, Delos, Oropos, Thasos, Minoa at Amorgos and Kos are discussed.As they enter the first gallery of the new Acropolis museum in Athens, visitors come upon a curious stone contraption − two limestone blocks, set one on top of the other. 2 The bottom stone has a hollowed depression, which corresponds to an egg-shaped hollowing on the upper stone. This upper block also has a narrow opening at the top, though which coins could be inserted. There is a cutting for a metal locking mechanism, and most importantly, there is an inscription, which explains exactly how this object is to be used.
