I.—Inscriptions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 October 2013
Extract
The authors' aim is to include in this article all the inscriptions on minor votive objects found at Sparta during the excavations, by the British School, of the Sanctuaries of Orthia (in 1906–10) and of Athena Chalkioikos (in 1907–08). They have been arranged according to material, those from each of these two sites being described separately, in the following order: stone, metal, ivory, pottery.
A few of these inscriptions, which have been published already in the Annual and subsequently in the Laconian volume of the Corpus (I.G. v. 1), are re-published here, without facsimiles, for the sake of completeness. Mr. Woodward made copies of almost all these inscriptions in 1907–08, but never completed the material for publication, owing to the claims of other work. Mr. Hondius, in 1921, re-copied and took impressions of all those inscribed on the carvings in soft stone, except Nos. 20 and 21, and with these exceptions his drawings of the unpublished examples are here reproduced. When Mr. Woodward's reading differs from his, the two versions are given. The inscriptions on the ivory flutes (Nos. 26, 27) are from Mr. Hondius's copies, as are Nos. 66 and 69 of those on the bronze objects; Mr. Woodward is responsible for those on Nos. 24, 67, 68 of the same material, which seem to have escaped Mr. Hondius's notice, and for all those on the pottery fragments from both the sites.

page 93 note 2 This, or possibly the leg of a throne, seems the most likely explanation. The quality of the work scarcely permits of a definite choice between these alternatives.

page 95 note 2 Ψισιμίδς, connected with ψίσις (= φθίσις, Hesych.), cf. ψίνοντος = φθίνοντος (I.G. xii. 5, 2, 867) (cf. Schwyzer, E., Glotta, 1921, p. 79Google Scholar), would be the most likely explanation, but the first letter seems an insuperable objection to this view.
page 96 note 1 It seems safer to us to retain the traditional explanation here, as Perdrizet's contentions do not apply.

page 103 note 1 Nor is any other instance recorded by Rouse in his Greek Votive Offerings. Do our examples indicate gratitude or conversion?
page 103 note 2 Whence Mod. Gr. ἀχλάδι (= pear).
page 103 note 3 The latter alternative seems almost impossible (unless it were a genitive?), as it would involve the unattractive assumption of assimilation with preceding alphas, for Ἀχράδοτος, or an unique variant of the termination in -άτας (= -άτης).

page 110 note 1 The simplest explanation seems to be the omission of an inter-vocalic sigma between α and υ, giving us some name such as Θραὑκληία [=Θρασυκληία], but the first letter visible on the sherd did not seem like Ρ.
page 112 note 1 Cf. the genealogical tables at the end of Poralla, Prosopographia der Lakedaimonier. The earlier bearers of the name (Poralla, Nos. 763, 764) are of course too early for this connexion. Pauly-Wissowa (Niese, s.v. Chilonis) distinguish only two in Hellenistic times, omitting the daughter of Cleomenes II. This suggestion is due to Mr. A. J. B. Wace.

page 117 note 1 Fροθασία as a variant need not surprise us, though such metathesis is abnormal in the early Laconian dialect: cf., however, Σλιφόμαξος = ‘the mixer of Silphium’ on the Arkesilas vase; the converse is the more frequent usage, especially in Crete.
