ll. 4–47Stoichedon 42 from here to l. 47, except ll. 38–41 and 43. Jameson notes in the margin of the editio princeps that ll. 38–41 have an extra stoichos. [ς δ’ ἅπ]α̣[νταςHabicht's restoration (Hermes 89, 1961, 1–35), which ML say “now seems to fit the traces better than Jameson's [ς δὲ α]ὐτ[ούς]”. τ̣[...20...]The whole clause is lost. Meritt suggests [προστάτου ὄντος Πιτθέως]; Habicht [εἰς παραθήκην τοῦ Θησέως] or [Πιτθέως]. Hardy and Pritchett (BSA 59, 1964, 30–1) read the first surviving letter as tau or zeta, and Jameson accepts this. Jameson's first text (Hesperia 29, 1960) read a lacuna of 21 letters, without the initial tau. [ς ἀρχομένους τ]ῆι αὔριονJameson's first text (Hesperia 29, 1960) read [ς καταρχομένο]υς αὔ[ρ]ιον. γ[ῆν] τ̣[ε κ]α̣ὶ̣ [οἰκί]ανJameson's first text (Hesperia 29, 1960) read [ων οὐσία]ν [πατρώι]αν, “their ancestral property”, where ML have “land and house at Athens”. [δ]έκα̣ [ἐφ’ ἑκάστη]ν ναῦνTen marines to each ship. Jameson's first text (Hesperia 29, 1960) read [εἴ]κ[οσιν ἐπὶ τὴν] ναῦν, twenty — a difference of a thousand men in the fleet as a whole. δια[κληρῶσαι δὲ κ]α̣ὶ̣ τὰς ὑπηρεσίαςJameson's first text (Hesperia 29, 1960) read δια[νέμειν δὲ καὶ τὰς ἄλλας ὑ]πηρεσίας. κα̣[ὶ τοὺς ἄλλους κατὰ] ναῦ̣ν̣ναύτας (Woodhead, Stroud) is also possible. Jameson's first text (Hesperia 29, 1960) read κα[ὶ τὰ πληρώματα τῶν] ν[εῶν]. [ε]ἰς διακοσίας ἀ̣[ν]ὰ̣ ἑκατὸν ἀριθμὸνSee Meritt, Hesperia 31 (1962) 413. Jameson's first text (Hesperia 29, 1960) read [ἴσας διακοσίας π]ά[ν]τα τὸν ἀριθμόν. τ̣ῆ̣ς ὑπηρε[σί]αςML: τῆς seems more likely than τ[ὰ]ς. τ̣[ο]ὺσ̣τρατηγοὺ[ςSo the stone: one sigma serves for both words (haplography), with no word division. Both editions print it. Verified on the plate of the editio princeps at high magnification — the gap between ὺ and σ is that of ordinary letter spacing, not of a word space. καὶ τῆι Ἀθηνᾶι καὶ τῆι ΝίκηιAmandry (Bull. Fac. Lettres Strasbourg 38, 1961, 413–35) suggests τῶι Διὶ ⟨καὶ⟩ τῶι Παγκρατεῖ καὶ τῆι Ἀθηνᾶι {καὶ} τῆι Νίκηι, and Meritt concurs in excising the second καί. The I.PHI text follows them and omits it; this is the single point at which the present transcription and the I.PHI text diverge. μένειν αὐτοὺς̣ ἐ[κε]-Continuing into l. 47 [ῖ ἕως ἄν τι τῶι δήμ]ωι δόξηι, “remain there until the People decide about them”. Jameson's first text (Hesperia 29, 1960) read μένειν αὐτοῦ [μέχρι] | [ἂν ὅτου τι τῶι δήμ]ωι δόξηι. [ς – – –] traces [– – –]The stone breaks off. Both editions mark surviving traces that neither restores.
