Extract

In my commentary upon an inscription discovered near the village of Remoustapha in south-western Messenia, and published in the J.H.S. xxv. (1905), pp. 49 foll., I discussed the occurrences of the title θοιναρμόστρια, of which I gave what I then believed to be a complete list. Subsequently, however, a new inscription containing the term has been discovered and published, while a second still awaits publication, and I have recently noticed that I had overlooked an important text of Messene in which the word is twice found (G.D.I. 4650). I therefore take this opportunity of correcting my error and of supplementing my note, especially as the articles on the θοιναρμόστρια in the Real-Encyclopädie of Pauly-Kroll and in Roscher's Lexikon have not yet appeared. Thanks to the kindness of Professor W. Kolbe of Rostock, the editor of the Laconian and Messenian section of the Inscriptiones Graecae, I am enabled to give references to the numbers which the inscriptions will bear in the Corpus, this volume of which is now in the press and will, it is hoped, be published before the close of the current year. For the aid thus received and for the permission to refer to the still unpublished text I.G. v. 1. 592 I here tender to Dr. Kolbe my sincere thanks.

6 Fraenkel's statement (I.G. iv. 768, note) that No. XI teste Wilhelmo circa initia saec. tertii est exaratus is mistaken: Wilhelm dates it um die Wende den dritten und zweiten Jahrhunderts v. Chr. (Ath. Mitt. xvi. 352).

7 Wilhelm interprets Κλαικοφόρος as the name of a hero, comparing an inscription from the Asclepieum of Epidaurus, ἤρωος Κλαικοφόρου (I.G. iv. 1300), to which we may now add a Troezenian text consisting of the same two words (I.G. iv. 768). Meister, (G.D.I. 4650Google Scholar, note) sees in the κλαικοφὁρος (=κλῃδοῦχος κλειδοῦχος) a temple functionary, as in Aesch. Suppl. 291, Eurip., I.T. 131Google Scholar; cf. G.D.I. 4689, ll. 90 foll. A κλειδοφὁρος is found amongst the temple officials at Notium in B.C.H. xviii. 216 foll. No. 3, l. 7.
