PREFACE
As originally envisioned,this volume would have been the joint work of Eugene Vanderpooland Antony E. Raubitschek,the former concentratingon the archaeologicaland epigraphicalaspects, and the latter presenting the historical and prosopographicalmaterial. Although that plan was never realized, both scholarsnot only published variously on ostrakaand ostracismbut also wrote notes and drafts of various parts of the projectedvolume. 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 acknowledgemy debt to them and a privilegeto present materialwhich was shaped in so many ways by such distinguishedscholars.The obviouscorollaryto this acknowledgmentis the statementthat any infelicities or inaccuraciesare all my own. Much has been written about ostracismin Athens, the origin and nature of the institution,its and dating of the occasionson which it was used. history,the political ramifications,circumstances, 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 operationof the institution.Fortunately,an exhaustivestudy of the ancient sourceson ostracismis now in progressunder the leadershipof Peter Siewert. I am gratefulto T. Leslie Shear,Jr., Field Directorof the Agora Excavations,and to Homer A. Thompson, Field Director Emeritus, for permissionto study and publish the ostraka.For the fine and unprejudiceddrawings I would like tof the photographsI am indebted to Craig A. Mauzy; and to William B. Dinsmoor, Jr. I owe the careful location of ostrakaon the Agora plan, now brought up to date by RichardAnderson.I want to give special thanks to Margot Camp, then Secretaryof the Agora Excavations,for facilitatingmy work with the ostrakain every way. For the patience and good adviceof the editor, Marian Holland McAllister, I am most grateful, and to the staff of the PublicationsOffice I am indebtedfor their care and concernin 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 publicationof the ostrakafound in the Athenian Agora. The brief notes concerningthe institution of ostracismin Chapter I providea context for the consideration of the ostrakathemselves.Chapter II gives a general descriptionof the ostrakawith regardto their form and content,materials,text, alphabet, orthography,and grammar. Where and in what circumstancesgroups of ostraka were found is consideredin Chapter III for the light it sheds on the particularostrakophoriato which they may belong. The catalogueof the 1145 ostrakamakesup the bulk of the work. The arrangement is by "candidates"in English alphabeticalorder.The way in which the catalogueis organizedand illustratedas well as the format and nature of the material included under each name and in the descriptionof each ostrakon are outlined in the introductionto the catalogue. The ostraka found on the North Slope of the Akropolis are republishedhere as an Appendix becauseof their close connectionwith the ostrakafound in the Agora. Some comparisonbetweenthe two groupsis attempted. A concordanceof Agora inventorynumberswith the cataloguenumbersand a list of catalogue and inventorynumbers arrangedby groups combinewith the plan of the Athenian Agora showing the findspotsof ostraka to make possible a variety of cross references.A concordance of inventory and cataloguenumbersis also given for the North Slope ostraka. Since it was not possible to illustrate all 1145 ostraka,only those that presentedsome problem or especially interesting feature have been either drawn or reproducedphotographically.When readings are uncertain and letters scratchedin a coarse clay surface are barely visible, drawings have been made against which the readingsmay be checked.Some photographsare included,partly to illustrate the kinds of sherds, arrangementof text, and letter shapes, and partly to show legible but peculiar texts. All the North Slope ostrakathat have been assigned to specific hands are illustrated in photographs.
Conventions
In writing the names of the candidates,brackets[ ] are used for missing letterswhere there is no evidence;parentheses( ) are used where nothing is shown on the Agora ostrakabut the name is known from the Kerameikosostraka,or inscriptions,or literature. All dates are B.C. unless otherwise specified.

OSTRACISMIN ATHENS
DEFINITION AND PROCEDURE The late lexica give brief explanations,for example:"Ostracism is namedfromthe ostrakon(sherd) on which each Athenian wrote if it was necessary (for someone) to withdraw from the city."' A fragment of the 4th-century AtthidographerPhilochorosdetails the procedureand may be paralleled with commentsfrom two other 4th-century scholars (Aristotlein the AthenaionPoliteia and Ephoros as used by Diodorus Siculus) and two later sources (Pollux and Plutarch'sAristeides):
Philochoros(FGH IIIB, 328 F 30) The demos votes before the eighth prytany if it seems best to hold an ostrakophoria. Aristotle, AthPol 43.5 In the sixth prytany they also take a vote whether there shall be an ostrakophoriaor 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 Athenianswho wished had to bring to the circumscribed place a sherd inscribedwith the name of the one to be ostracized. Plutarch, Aristeides7 Each took a sherd and wrote the name of whomeverof the citizens he wished to send out of the city. He 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 The nine archonsand the boule were in charge.When (the ostraka)were counted,the man with the most votes and no fewer than 6000 was obliged, preservinghis rights in privatetransactions,to withdraw fromthe city for ten years (later it was five), getting the income of his propertybut not coming nearer than Geraistos on the cape of Euboia.3 Plutarch, continued The archons first counted the whole number of ostraka. For if those voting were fewer than 6000, the ostrakophoriawas void. Then, putting separatelyeach of the names, they proclaimedthat the one written by the most was banished for ten years, enjoyingthe incomefrom his property. Diodorus, continued Whoever had more ostrakawas orderedinto exile for five years. Pollux, continued Whoever received6000 ostrakahad to go into exile. Cf. Photius, Lexicon, s.v. 0orTpaKL'.o-ST. The translationsof the Greek texts are Etym. Mag., s.v. fo0o'rpaKIo't.os. my own. It did not seem necessaryto note particulareditions of Greek authors, since there is no serious question concerning the actual texts. 2 Cf. schol. Ar., Eq. 855, "The demos votes beforehandto hold an ostrakophoria." 3 Schol. Ar., Eq. repeats the items in Philochoros'account verbatim, substituting only "puttingin" for "turning his rights in privatetransactions" and the length and circumstances of the exile, and adding aside",omitting "preserving "if there should not be 6000 votes, he would not withdraw."
I. OSTRACISM IN ATHENS
Some disagreementsamong the sourcesare minor:whether the decisionto hold an ostrakophoria was taken in the sixth prytany or beforethe eighth;4whether the barriersin the Agora were of rope or boards.5Two differencesare 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 evidenceand authoritiesnow seems to be on the side of 6000 as quorum and ten years as the period of exile.6
DATE AND PURPOSE OF INTRODUCTION More controversialthan elements of the procedureis the question when ostracismwas introduced and by whom. If we leave aside the late and surely unhistoricalascriptionsof the law to Theseus, Achilleus Lysonos, and Hippias,7 a comparisonof the 4th-centurysourceswill again best demonstrate the disagreements(Androtion,Ephorosas in Diodorus, Aristotle,and Philochoros).
Harpokration,s.v. 'I7r7rapxos Concerningthis man Androtionsays in his secondbookthat he was a relativeof Peisistratosthe tyrant and was the first to be ostracized,when the law about ostracismwas then first passed becauseof suspicionof 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 abolitionof the tyrants associatedwith 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, introducedother laws, among which was the law of ostracism. ... (3) In the twelfth year after this, having won the battle of Marathon in the archonshipof 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 Peisistratoshad, as leader of the people and general, establishedhis tyranny. Philochoros(FGH IIIB, 328 F 30) Hyperbolosalone of undistinguishedmen was ostracized,for wickednessof characterratherthan on suspicion 4Jacoby in his commentaryon Philochoros,328 F 30 (FGH IIIB, i, p. 310) suggests that abridgementof Philochoros'text was responsiblefor the difference.The original may have been something like: "Aftervoting in the sixth prytanywhether to hold an ostrakophoria,if it was so voted, in the eighth prytanythe Agora was fenced...." 5It is possible that both materials were used, with something like sawhorses roped together, but see Wycherley, ("havingset up woodenbarriers JHS 75, 1955, pp. 117-118 for an alternatereadingin Pollux, 8.19: T7rpLt-KVv7Ta-avTES around").Where in the Agora this enclosure might have been located is unclear, but the concentrationof dumped ostraka to the southwest of the Agora proper (see Chapter III) may suggest that, on some occasionsat least, the enclosure was located near by. Homer Thompson informs me (per litt.) that the smoothnessof the early floor in this cornerof the Agora and the regularityof its slope down from south and east may indicatethat here was the pre-Pnyx meeting-placeof the ekklesia. If so, it would be reasonablethat the meetingof the citizensto carryout 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, AcAr, pp. 28-29) suggest that disposal of spent ostrakawas 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 completeand thus preventmultiple voting. 6 See Reinmuth in RE, s.v. ostrakismos,cols. 1678-1680; Jacoby (FGH IIIB) on Philochoros F 30; Thomsen, pp. 66-67, note 23; Vanderpoolin Semple LecturesII, pp. 217-218; Rhodes, p. 270. But if the Byzantine accountof ostracismrepublished by Keaney and Raubitschek (AJP 93, 1972, pp. 87-91) is to be accepted,the question of the numberof votes requiredmay be reopened. 7 Sufficientlydisposedof by Thomsen, pp. 12-16.
AGORA CANDIDATES FOR OSTRACISM of tyranny;8after him the custom was given up, having begun when Kleistheneswas enacting laws, after putting down the tyrants, so that he might get rid also of their friends.
The most recent full discussionis that of Rudi Thomsen,9who presentsin full detail the arguments that have been brought forwardover the last hundredyears in support of the two positions: that of Androtion(as reportedby Harpokration)for introductionof ostracismin the early 480's and that of Aristotle (and others) for Kleisthenesas authorof the law. Thomsen argues convincinglyfor the earlier date, following the line taken by Sumner and Dover,10that while both Aristotle and of Harpokrationwere dependenton Androtion,Aristotle'saccountis a more faithful representation Androtion'smeaning. A further complication has been introduced by the re-publication11 of MS Vat. Gr. 1144, 222r-vby Keaney and Raubitschek, claiming that the law of ostracismintroducedby Kleisthenes involveda vote by the boule and that originally 200 votes were requiredto ostracizea man, but that later, when the demosvoted, it was changedto 6000. If this is to be accepted,it at least confirmsthe earlier date of introduction.There is the furtherquestion whether two stages of the law might also make it possible that there were two first victims:Kleisthenes,reportedas the firstvictimof his own law by Aelian, H.V. 13.24 (that is, by the boule); Hipparchos, reportedas the first by Aristotle, AthPol 22.3 (that is, by the demos).12If any such ostracismwas practicedby the boule, evidence would be difficultto find, since the chance that any of their comparativelyfew ostrakawould 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 relevantdate (AgoraXXI, D 26-38) neitherwere found near the Bouleuterionnor bear any recognizablypolitical names. Moreover, such unpolitical names on sherds in the Agora go back to the beginning of writing and down beyondthe 5th centuryB.C. 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 ostracismattestedin our literarysources:the 480's B.C.; mid-century,extendingfrom 461 to 443 B.C.;and 417-415 B.C.
8 This is reminiscentof Thucydides' remark (8.73.3) that Hyperboloswas ostracized"notso much through fear of
his power and rank but becauseof his wickednessand the shame it brings to the city."The intimationis that the proper reason for ostracismwas fear of power and influence.

11, 1964, pp. 79-86; Dover, CR 13, 1963, pp. 256-257. CompareJacoby on Androtion324 F 6 (FGH IIIB, i, p. 120): "thereis always the possibilityof a citationbeing curtailedin a lexicon repeatedlyabbreviated." Although he saw the possibility that Androtionactually dated the introductionof ostracismin 488/7 B.C.because he saw it as part and parcel (along with the introductionof the lot in 487/6) of the beginningsof real democracy,Jacoby summed up (p. 124): "ourtraditiondoes not allow of making a final decisionbetween the dates of Androtionand Aristotle, but if anybodycan determinethe sourceof Aelian (H. V. 13.24 that Kleistheneswas the first victim of his law) he may be able to solve the riddle." 11 Keaney and Raubitschek, AJP 93, 1972, pp. 87-91. Among those acceptingthis earlier form of ostracismsome 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 ostracismby the Boule is Develin (Antichthon11, 1977, pp. 10-16; 19, 1985, pp. 7-15). 12 Bicknell, Gnomon46, 1974, pp. 818-819.

I. OSTRACISM IN ATHENS

of the The distinctionthat the author of the AthPol makes between the first three victims,"friends tyrants,on whose accountthe law was enacted,"and those later ostracized("ifany one of the others seemedto be too powerful")suggests that he at least thought that men with a particularconnection were no longer perceivedas so threateningas men who in and of themselveshad achievedsome kind of supremacy.That he thought of Xanthippos and Aristeidesas holding such positionsof power is seen in his listing (AthPol28) of successiveleadersof the demosand the aristocrats: "Xanthipposled and Aristeides then Themistokles(the demos) the demos,Miltiades the aristocrats; (the aristocrats)." The opposition between Xanthippos and Miltiades presumablydid not survive Xanthippos' successfulprosecutionof 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-Aristeidesopposition, in each case to explain the ostracismas a result of political rivalry. But the only way that politicalrivalrycould explain the ostracismof Xanthippos, leaderof the demos,is if it was Themistokleswho, first contestingleadership of the demos, engineeredthe departureof Xanthippos and then later used his own leadership to defeat the aristocratsand ostracizetheir leader. Whether in actual historicalfact, as opposedto this view of a 4th-centuryinterpretation,there was any changein the use of ostracismin the 480's is obscure. ostracismis that of Themistokles,most probablysometimein the The next certainlyattested13 later 470's B.C.14Whether that ostracismresulted 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 subsequentcondemnation for treasonsuggeststhat it was to someone'sadvantageto have him permanentlyexcludedfrom Athens. No ostrakaare known from that ostrakophoria. Again in the late 460's B.C. the Athenians turned to ostrakophoriaias a solution of political problems. In 462/1,15 with the murder of Ephialtes16and the ostracismof Kimon,17opposition between the former,as leader of the demos and reformerof the Areopagus,and the latter, as leader was ended. But not only is it likely that supof the aristocratsand defenderof the Areopagus,18 portersof Ephialtes, perhaps led by Perikles, pushed through Kimon'sostracismbut also there is a of the Pelostrongprobabilitythat the ostracismof AlkibiadesKleiniou Skambonides(grandfather 9 with Perikles in the dated is to be again following year, ponnesianWar generalof the same name) is this That interest. of the aristocratic the defeat and the demos of as leader completing acting a as ostracism to used have is Perikles is evident,but the way in which reported20 oversimplification political weapon against his rival Thucydides Melesiou in 443 B.C. is at least suggestive.

AGORA CANDIDATES FOR OSTRACISM
These three mid-centuryostracismsare certain. Somewhatless securelyattestedare the ostracisms of the following:
Menon Menekleidou Gargettios,perhaps in 457 B.C.21 Kallias Didymiou, perhaps in the 440's B.C.22 Damon Damonidou Oathen, also perhaps in the 440's23
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. ConcerningDamon, the authorof AthPol (27.4) says that it was his "democratic" adviceto Perikles that was responsiblefor his ostracism. Nothing further is reported about any ostrakophoriauntil the next-to-last decade of the 5th century when Hyperbolos Antiphanous Perithoideswas ostracizedat sometimebetween 417 and 415 B.C.24 Because he was seen as an unworthy victim and because the real political rivals whose fates were on the line conspiredtogether to save themselvesby marshalingtheir influence against him, the institutionof ostracismfell into disreputeand was abandoned.Originally and in practicea useful and fairly humane way to prevent power struggles from tearing the state apart, ostracism was finally destroyedby the very forcesit seems to have been designedto combat:personalambition and disregardfor the commongood. The Agora candidates,who include all the above victims except Damon, are here dividedinto the three periods. Those whose date is known from literary and epigraphical evidence or from multiple association in comparativelypure deposits with dated candidates (in either Agora or are listed in the first column, with an indicationof the nature of the justification:lit he Kerameikos)25 for literaryevidence;arch for archaeoloncegical association.The literaryevidenceis not necessarilyfor the ostracismbut may be only for the candidate'sactivity in the relevant period;a question mark indicates that there may be some doubt about the relevanceof the evidenceto the candidate.The candidatesfor whom there is neither literary evidence nor really clear archaeologicalassociation but only letter shapes (and possibly a datable sherd, good only for post quem dating) appear in the secondcolumn.

II THE OSTRAKA
DEFINITION AND IDENTIFICATION The identificationof 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 inscribedname is of a man said in literary sourcesto 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 sherdswith other names are foundwith ostrakaidentifiedin the first fashion. So the presence in the largest Agora group (E 1; see Chapter III: Groups of Ostraka) of numbers of ostraka of Aristeides(5), Megakles (2), and Themistokles (176) makes it virtuallycertainthat the many other sherdswith names found in the same deposit are also ostraka,whether there is only one example of each (as in the case of Charias Ph[ ]douand Onomastos),a bare handful (two for Kleiboulos,three each for Habron and Habronichos, seven for Kydrokles),or an impressivenumber (Hippokrates 49, Kallixenos 168). If these additional names turn up in other groups, s most do, thhelp to identify sherds with still other names as ostraka, and so on. In addition,very fragmentarysherds with only two or three letters that are found in ostrakondepositscan usually with considerableconfidencebe assigned to known names on the basis of letter combinations,probability,and numbers. Finally, even sherds with names found in isolation may be identifiedas ostraka if more than one with the same name is found either in the Agoraor elsewhere:so Arista[ichmos] Timo[kratous](20) is singular in the Agora but plural in the Kerameikos;Hegestratos (128-131) was found in three differentparts of the Agora. Or even if a sherd with a particularname is singular but is datableby contextor writing to an ostrakonera, it may or may not be an ostrakon:so Archenos(18), which can be interpretedvariously;Eret[ ] (108) is equally questionable;but Eupolis (112), Panaitios (650), and Sokrates (661) are most probablebecause of the presenceof 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 nominativecase helps the identification, for although a few indubitableostrakahave names in the dative or accusativecases, ordinary sherds with a name in the nominativeare less likely than those with genitive or dative to be tags of ownership or address. The more than 11,000 ostrakafound in Athens have come from the following places:
1) the Kerameikosoutside the city walls 44 (Bruckner,AM 40,1915, pp. 1-26) 2 (Bruckner,AM 51, 1926, pp. 128-129) 165 (Peek, KerameikosIII) 1 (AeAr 17, 1961/1962, B' [1963], pp. 35-36, no. 5) ca. 9000 (accordingto Thomsen, p. 69) not yet published 1 (BCH 108,1984, p. 740) 2) the Agora and its immediateenvirons 1145 here presented 165 unidentifiablefragmentsnot catalogued 1 Both Agora and North Slope ostrakaare housed in the Stoa of Attalos.

Since the ostrakophoriaiwere held in the Agora, some remnantsof the voting could be expected there, but for the most part the ostrakafound in the Kerameikosand Agora and on the North Slope comefrom dumpswhich were depositedafter an ostrakophoria (or possiblybefore,in the case of the North Slope). The few exceptionsfound elsewhere in Athens may have been lost beforethe voting.
MATERIALS The ostrakafound in the Agora includeeverypossiblesort of sherd,fromthe coarsestkind of pithos to the finest black-figuredvase. 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,roughlyequal to the second,includesfine black-glazedware:kylikes, skyphoi, amphoras, and such.3 The remainderis very various, including lamp fragments,blackand red-figuredsherds,and pieces of rooftile, water pipes, and wellheads.Somevotersseem to have chosen their sherds with considerableconcern for appearance,as the many kylix bases and rim fragmentstestify. The means of inscribingostraka are less varied than the sherds themselves:there are only six those that are incisedshow a range examples (110, 308, 311,468, 652, 653) of paintedinscriptions; of implementfrom the finest metal point to the kind of blunt instrumentthat leaves more of a furrow than a line. Of the paintedexamplesonly one (468, Kallixenos)appearsto have been a "professional"job, neatly and elegantly inscribedon the handle of a semiglazedoinochoeand then fired;it may be the vote of a potter who was exercising his skill or a secondaryuse of a part of a vessel designed for other purposes.4The other five paintedinscriptionsare on coarseunglazedsherdswhere the paint is very fugitive, not having been fired. These, unlike the Kallixenospiece, all date around or after the middle of the 5th century. For the incised inscriptionson 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 inscriptionsmay be limited to the name of the candidate,but it most often includes either patronymicor demotic,and occasionallyboth. In addition,a few examplesincludethe

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 certainlypresent on 1090 and 1091, and possibly on 1077 and 1131. Other additionsare 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 fragmentarystate of many ostrakamakes it difficultto arriveat significantstatisticson the comparativefrequency of name alone, name with either patronymicor demotic, and name with both. For example, of the 277 Kallixenos ostrakaless than 1 percentshow name, patronymic,and demotic,but this is in part, at least, the result of the fragmentarystate 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 comparativefrequency of patronymicand demotic,see Vanderpool'sSemple LecturesII, pp. 220-222, in which he shows how the roughly equal numbersof Themistokles'ostrakawith demoticand those with patronymic contrast with the overwhelming preponderanceof ostraka with the patronymicfor other contemporarycandidates and suggests that Themistokles "deliberatelycultivated the use of the demotic ... in orderto increasehis popularityamong the commonpeople." FORMAT On the great majorityof ostrakawriting is from left to right. In these cases the inscriptionmay be centeredon 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 patronymicor demotic below; or with the name first along the bottomedge and the patronymicor demoticabove.5Or startingfrom the left, it may follow the edge around two, three, or all sides of the sherd;if it starts from the top edge,6the letters will face out, that is, their tops will be at the edge;if from the bottomedge,7they will face in. The formeris more usual and is seen in a more completeform in such ostrakaas 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 300, 305, 751, 542, pure retrogradeinclude the following: 114, 117, 816, 762, 1049, 1053. 117,127, Boustrophedonwriting on ostrakaordinarilyinvolvesa first line with the name written left to right and a secondline, whether below or above,written retrograde,that is, from right to left, with those letters that point forward reversing directionbut keeping the same vertical orientationafter they have turned the cornerfrom the first line. Examples written thus from the top down are 123, 128, 130,330,340,961,991,1013; from bottomup, 348. More unusual are first lines (with name) going from right to left followed by secondlines left to right:663,791,932,1077.9 Schlangenschrift, as the
This is much less frequent,but examples are worth noting, since otherwiseit might be thought fromthe transcriptions that the patronymicor 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. 6 Examples: 792, 853, 880, 925. 7Examples: 211, 264, 817, 970. 8 See particularlythe mass of kylix bases from the North Slope, p. 159 below. 9 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 beginningon an abortivesecondline, while the real secondline is written from left to right.

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 possibly627, 1056). Erasuresand correctionsof miswritingwithout completerewritingare also evident.10 Single letters are erasedon 626 and 741. Correctionsmay 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 comparativelyrare 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 patronymicor demoticare dots verticallyarranged: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 developedIonic alphabet that was officially adoptedonly in 403 B.C. As witnesses to that change the ostraka are particularlyuseful, since they are for the most part dated by the historicalnames that they bear. But at the same time the informalityof the medium, combined with the difficultyof writing and the perhaps incompleteliteracyof some writers, means that some changesmay not be detectable,while others may have no chronologicalsignificancebut reflectonly personal idiosyncrasy.So, for example, the change from slanting to horizontal crossbarsfor both alpha and epsilon cannot be documentedin writing where intractablematerials and lack of skill militate against both regularityand subtle distinctions.On the other hand, if a dot is substitutedfor the groundline of delta, it seems to have moreto do with personalpreferencethan with chronology, although apparently personal preferenceoperated more at some times than at others. Only four dotteddeltas appear in the early period (67,154,198, 609 or 3.4 percentof the total 118), only one in the middle period (9 or 6 percentof the total 17), and none in the later period,in which the total numberof deltas is seven. For the purpose of dating letter shapes both the Agora ostraka and the known ostracismsare convenientlydivided into three groups: 1) early, belongingto the 480's;112) middle, including the known ostrakophoriaiof 461 and 443 B.c.;12and 3) late, including the final ostrakophoriaof 417 B.C. 13 The great majorityof the Agora ostrakacomesfromthe early periodand will serve,as far as letter shapes are concerned,to present a detailed picture. The much smaller middle and late groups, however, are still sufficientto providesome indicationof developmentand change. The letters for the use and developmentof which the ostrakaare most useful are the Attic and Ionic forms of gamma and lambda, crossbarredand dotted theta, phi, tailed and plain rho, tailed and V-shapedupsilon, chi with upright and St. Andrew'scross,and three- and four-barredsigma.14

As far as gamma and lambda are concerned,only the Ionic forms are pointedout, as being less expected,on the ostrakaof the early and middleperiods;only Attic formswould be notedon ostraka of the late period, if there were any.

About theta it now seems to me that attemptingto differentiatebetween upright and St. Andrew's crosses is a work of supererogation,since for both the writer and the readera slight change of orientationmay 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 representevery gradation between round and square, but also it is obvious that some writers had difficultywith curvedlines and so preferredfour (or five or six) straightones. Since we do not differentiatebetween round and square omicrons, there is little point in making the distinction with thetas. There is even some question about the distinction between crossbarredand dotted thetas when at least three of the ostrakathat show a dottedtheta also use one with crossbars(943, 951, 1020).

Like theta, phi enjoyeda 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 crossbarredcircles.26 The presumptionis that the various forms are not phonologicallysignificant but constitutea confusionof symbols,as Threatte suggests (pp. 470-471). In the middleperiod,the two examples have the vertical stroke extending above and below (101, 660), while in the late period all but one of the 11 preservedhave 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 neglectedto tail the other(s) on the same sherd (113, 749, 802, 929, 1023, 1063). The percentageof tailed rhos is just 10 (45 of 445).

II. THE OSTRAKA
The letter chi is seen to change from an upright crossto a St. Andrew'scross as follows:
Chi Upright cross St. Andrew's cross Early28 184 (81%) 42 (19%) Middle29 1 (100%) 0 Late30 0 3 (100%)
The numbersfor the middleand late periodsare too small to be significant,and for the early period it is often difficultto know whether for any particularletter one is orientingthe sherd as the writer was. Upsilon, tailed and untailed, is perhapsmore useful, althoughwith the propensityfor the writing implementto gouge or slip beyondthe writer's intentionwhen he applied sufficientforceto cut through glaze, perhaps not all tails were intended.

As far as sigmas with three and four bars are concernedthe situationis somewhatdifferent,for to the four-barredform over time, it change from the three-barred althoughthere is a demonstrable is also clear that the few four-barredsigmas that do appear in the early periodare for the most part limited to particularfunctions.That is, of the 27 early four-barredsigmas 26 come at the end of a name (16), before a dental (9), or in combinationwith chi to make xi (1).34 Only one (63) appears elsewhere. Since it is in these very places that the other chief alternatesigmas (the doubledsigma and the reversedthree-barredsigma) appear,35it seems possible that all variant forms might be used by some writers to representwhat seemedto be differentsounds.In any event, the four-barred sigma graduallytook over, as is apparentfrom the way in which ten of the 16 middle-periodsigmas In the late periodall 17 sigmas have have four bars,36 in comparisonwith six three-barred sigmas.37 four bars.38
SOUNDS AND SPELLING Also a matter of letter shapes, but verging on spelling and representationof 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 lambdasat that time: Kleophon (600, 602-605). Its appearancein the early period seems to be one of several attemptsto differentiatethe sound of the genitive'simpure diphthongou (contractionof

from simple omicron. Patronymicsof Aristeides Lysimachou(87), HippokratesAlkmeonidou (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 frequentway of markingthe differenceis 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 ostrakafrom the middle or late periods uses anything other than simple omicron for the diphthong. Examples of omicron-upsilonare 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).40 A 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 Boutalionostrakon(89) first wrote Butalion he scratchedit out and wrote Boutalion, apparentlyas a correction.Certainly the other six Boutalion ostraka all have Boutalion. The omicron-upsilondiphthong in both Kleiboulos (598) and Thoukidides (1050) was representedby a simple omicron.42 Somewhat comparabl he change from omicronto omega, but with differentcomplications, is the use of eta as aspiration or vowel. In ostrakaof the early period eta, which has the open form except in two cases (128,130), is regularlyused for initial aspirationin the cases of Habron, Hierokles, Hipparchos, and Hippokrates. Only Habronichos (127) and Hegestratos (128-131) show Aspirationof medial rho by means psilosis, if indeed those names were pronouncedwith an aitch.43 of eta occurson 11 Themistokles ostrakain the demoticPhrear(r)ios(766, 779, 794, 798, 872,893, 928, 958, 965, 1016, 1021) in contrast to 86 without.44Late candidates,Hippokles and Hyperbolos, begin with the simple vowel. Eta had alreadybeen used as a long e on at least one ostrakonin the early period (1026); in the middle period six long e's are representedby 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 periodall seven long e's are represented by eta (13-17 Alkibiadesthe Younger, 145 Hippokles, 648 Nikias Nikeratou). More a matter of simple spelling than the use of particularletter shapes is the question of the extent to which differencesin the resentation of sounds echo differentpronunciations.Among vowels, for example, there seems to be some confusion between iota and upsilon, at least in some lon,45and two show uncertaintybetween the two vowels.46In addition,what seems to be the word for "son"in another Kallixenos Aristonymouostrakon(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 Kydroklesis an iota substitutedfor 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). The ostraka of

Alkibiadesthe Younger,on the other hand, spell out the diphthong:Kleiniou (13, 14).47 The use of epsilon for epsilon-iota is similarly limited in instancesif 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 consonantsare concernedthe confusionbetween aspiratedand unaspiratedletters is particularlynotable:theta and tau; phi and pi; chi and kappa. Apparentlythe aspirationof Themistokles' initial consonant exercised an aspirating effect49on the second dental so that the vast proportionof Themistokles ostraka that preserve that part of the name show theta in the third syllable: 183 to 17 (92% to 8%).50 This time it is the exception that is, from our point of view, correct!The same contagion of aspiration appears to work backwardsin 99 where Dieithrephes convertstau into theta in anticipationof the phi.51 In the three instancesof the demoticXypetaion on early ostrakathe aspiratedchi 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 opportunityfor simple chi at or toward the beginning of a name to aspirate a following consonant,but neither does the aspirationof chi combinedwith sigma in Kallixenos ever work back to the initial kappa. As a matter of fact the only example of x in Kallixenos being unaspiratedcomes in a psilotic context already noted above:328 Kalliskenosios Aristonymo. of xi is achievedvariously If we omit that one psilotic example, we find that the representation in the early period:chi-sigma (129 examples on Kallixenosostrakaalone); sigma-chi (sevenexamples, 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 addeda sigma only after startingthe following epsilon); double sigma (three examples, 18 Philoxenon,439, 474, both of Kallixenos, with the latter's two sigmas back to back); and one xi (554 Kallixenos).52In the voter(651 with middleperiodthe two ostrakaof Periklesdivideneatly betweenthe old conservative 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 is more or less the practiceon ostrakadependsvery much on the specificconsonant: century,53

Single lambda and single pi are clearlyon the way out in the early periodand seem to be completely out by mid-century.The situation with rho is different. Phrearrioslater always has a double rho, but unlike the names that later have double lambda and double pi, its percentageof singles and doubles is reversedin the early period. In opposite fashion the later form of Ariphronhas a single rho while the early period ostrakagive him a preponderance of doubles. It must be that the current trend toward doubling producedwhat 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. Gargettiosshould have the double tau. In the early period, both the doublingof sigmas and the reversingof sigmas seem to servea special purpose, as was suggestedabove for the early four-barredsigmas (p. 12). Sigma is doubled 19 times before tau or theta and three times when it substitutesfor xi.54 Reversedsigma appears not only in these two situationsbut also in the final position, as follows: 17 times beforetau or theta; 12 times with chi to representxi; 40 times in the final position.55 Only three examples appear before vowels: 128, 663 (2); all these are in boustrophedonwriting where there is sometimesconfusion about letter orientation.That there was a felt differenceof sound for some writers in the situations above seems possible, but at the same time there is remarkablylittle consistencyin 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 reverseonly one or the other. As doubling of consonantswas comingto the fore in the early period, so was the contractionof two vowels into one. The contractedforms (in nominativeand dative cases) of Kydrokles,Megakles, and Themistokles number 127; the uncontractedforms (in nominative,dative, and accusative cases) of the same names occur 65 times.56The proportionof 66 percentto 34 percent shows that contraction had already made considerableheadway. In the genitive of Neokles, which always

For doubled sigmas see Threatte, pp. 510, 530, 551. 55These figures include seven examples of forward-writtensigmas in retrogradewriting, so reversedin 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 doubledsigmas is reversed. 56 The differencebetween these figures and those given by Vanderpool in Semple LecturesII, 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 accusativesfrom the uncontracted.

appears as Neokleos (for Neokleous), it had alreadycompletelytaken over. What evidencethere is for the middle period seems to indicatethat contractionhad won out completely(651, 652). Whether omitted letters are anything more than carelessness57 is unclear, but it is true that in the case of some omissionsthe word or name can be, and perhapswas, so pronounced.For possible insight, then, into man-in-the-streetpronunciationin the 5th century B.C. it is worthwhile examining the omissions. Omittedalpha: unaccentedalphas as in Mar<a>thonios (89, and possibly 115) and K<a>lisen<o>s (347) may reflect pronunciation;accentedalphas as in Phal<a>nthou (641), Phre<a>rios (946), and Chs<a>nthipos (1061) should be carelessness,but the fact that each is accompanied by a sonant or liquid suggests that the vowel might be slurredover. Omitted epsilon: unaccentedepsilons include three examples of Alkm<e>onides (148, 200, 202) where it is possibly a matter of contractionrather 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 slurredover;and one accentedepsilon in Heg<e>stratos (130) that must be a carelessmistake. Omitted iota: unaccented iotas are omitted in Arstonumo (354, 415, 536, 545), in Themsthokles (762) and as subscriptor adscriptof the dative Melesio (1051), all of which can be pronouncedafter a fashion;the accentediotas of [Alkmeo]ndo(165) and Kallxenos (355, 466) might suggest a kind of contractionwith shift of accent. Omitted omicron:unaccentedomicronsinclude Hipp<o>krates (231), Kallichsen<o>s (369), and Themisth<o>kles (958), which are rather difficultto pronounce;other omicronsare omitted with difficultyanddoubt:[Ma]r<a>vowelsin nameswhich canonly be interpreted alongwith other ] (115), [Al]km<eo>n[i]do(154), K<a>lisen<o>s (347), and Ari<s>t<o>nm[o] th<o>n[ (517). Omittedupsilon:accentedupsilon is omittedin Aristonmo on two occasionswith other letters (517, 542) and once by itself (369). Upsilon as part of epsilon-upsilondiphthongis omittedin 112 and 126. Omittedomega:Kleoph<o>n (607), an obviouserror. Consonantsare omittedsomewhatless erratically.Omittedkappa in variouscontexts(198,766, 849) may be simple errorwhile lambda'somissionis limitedto the -kles ending(114, 743, 843 twice, 856, 1032). Nu is omittedonly twice, apparentlyby chance (207, 642), while rho more frequently dropsout either as part of a consonantcluster(114,131,207,301) or as a resultof dissimilation(307, 610,885).58 All the omissionsof sigma are fromconsonantclusters:sigma plus tau or theta (49,328, 517, 563, 709, 776, 777,809, 1011)59and chi plus sigma (542). Similarlyfive of the omittedtaus are froma consonantcluster:sigma plus tau (337,535,542,649) and Lamp<t>reus (124). Only one tau seems to be omittedelsewhere:[Hippo]kra<t>es (246), presumablyby mistake. A few omitted syllables more likely result from the mind running ahead of the writing implement than from abbreviatedpronunciation:Alkmeon<id>o (194), Aris<to>nu[mo] (347), Themis<tho>k[les] (682), The<mi>st[okles] (886), Themis<tho>kle[s] (1031 but corrected). Other forms of misspelling representedin the ostrakainclude the additionof extra letters, the substitutionof one letter for another,ligatures,and metathesis.Extra lettersmay result fromassimilation:60 (236), K{l}alich[senos] (213), Alkme{l}onides (420), K{l}alisenos(464); or Alk(l}meo[nido]
Threatte (p. 398) suggests that omission of vowels, especially accentedones, is simply graphic error. 58See Threatte, pp. 480-481. 59 See Threatte, p. 506. 60 See Threatte, pp. 478-479.

There is one example of lambda for rho: [H]ipoklatos (639); and there are two of epsilon for omicron: Themisthekles (964) and Klisenes (if it is K<a>li<ch>sen<o>s) (347). Ligaturesare rare and not always legible:rho and alpha seem to be joined on 165, but on both 207 and 301 the two are written as one letter, so that it is uncertain which is omitted; the apparent combinationof lambda and epsilon on 956 is not a ligature but a correction. Metathesis may be of rho-alpha:63Hipp[oka]rtes (295); [Hip]pokar[tos] (630), Grag( ) (643); or of lambda-epsilon:Neokelos (684) and Themisstokels (1018). [A]lkemon[ido](226) is and be an probably a mistake, and [Ar]sito[numo](581) could also be restoredas [Ari]sito[numo] example of vowel anaptyxis. Related to such miswritings are the cases where correctionshave been made, most usually by either squeezing in an omitted letter or writing it (or them) above or below the line. Most frequently omitted and added is sigma: 493, 837, 867, 1002, 1049. Others include mu (350), omicron (638), epsilon (667,734), theta (932), lambda (968), iota (1056) and theta-omicron(1001). On 256 a faulty ending of the patronymicis correctedby means of partial rewriting.
GRAMMAR The grammarof inscriptionswhich normallyincludenothingmorethan a name, a patronymic,and a demotic(if so much) is virtually limited to cases. For the name, the nominative(so-calledindependent nominative)is normal and is used on all but 44 of the Agora ostrakathat preservethe ends of the name. As might be expected,there is no example of the candidate'sname appearingin the genitive case. Names in the dative case (indirectobject,dativeof disadvantage?) occuron 31 ostraka:28 of the early period;two from the middle period;one from the late period.64 Names in the accusative case (as objectof an understoodverb) appear on 13 ostraka:11 in the early period;two fromthe late
period.65
For the patronymic,the genitive singular is normaland is used on all but 21 of the Agora ostraka that preservethe patronymicand its end. Patronymicsin the nominativeoccuron 15 ostrakaof the early period but not at any other time.66The rationale for the use of this case is difficult to divine, but perhaps it representsa kind of illiterate contagionfrom the candidate'sname or is itself an independentnominative,as in lists.

III GROUPS OF OSTRAKA

Of the 1145 cataloguedostraka (1069 identifiedand 76 uncertain)only 185 were found as singles; the other 960 were found in associationwith at least one other ostrakonin 35 combinationsranging in size from 448 to 2.1 The finding of ostraka in large deposits suggests that after an ostrakophoriathey 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 sufferedcontamination.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, sometimestidied away into near-by cisternsor rubbish pits (grid squares G-J 4-13), (2) as resulting from spillage or the filling of potholeson 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 locationof ostraka,both groups and singles, plotted on the Agora grid.2 The groups are here designatedby both letters and numbers,with the prefix E for groups that are predominantlyearly (that is, from the 480's), the prefix M for mid-centurygroups (ca. 460440 B.C.), and the prefix L for the latter part of the century (420-415 B.C.). The numberswith each letter indicatethe 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 designationprovidesa quick and easy context referencefor those ostrakathat belong to the groups, giving at once a rough date and some notion of the group'ssize. But becausein variouspublications the groups have been designatedin various ways, the concordance given below (p. 20) will help in cross referencing;the numbers in parenthesesare of ostraka.
' The breakdownis 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 hundredseventy-one(E 2) 448 in 1 group of four hundredforty-eight (E 1 and la) 960 Agora grid squares measure 20 x 20 m., and ostraka were found in every column of squares from A through S (except for L) and in every row from 2 through 22, but only in about 100 of the 399 squares thus defined.

The disparityin numbersamong the variouslists 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 additionsor deletions. Publication referencesand the descriptionof the groups' contexts are given below (the references to Athenian Agora volumes are to their Deposit Lists); only the group designationand grid referencewill appear as proveniencein the individualcatalogueitems.

Originally, 605 pieces were found; of these 440 were cataloguedin the Agora and reducedbyjoins to 438, and 165 were uncatalogued,as being too fragmentaryto be significant.The area of the depositwas about 6 x 10 m. in the valley betweenthe Areopagusand KolonosAgoraios,and it was about 40 meterssouthwestof E 2.

As may be seen on the Plan, the singles in these 20 squares could be added (as in the parenthesesaboveto the right) to give a total of 945 or 82.5%in the same 20 squares, or by addingthe 12 singles of B 18-19, 8 of C 19, and 6 of F 14 (26 in 4 squares, all neighboring concentrationsabove), we get 971 ostraka or 85%in 24 squares. (The total number of ostrakaon the Plan falls short of 1145 becausea few sherdswere found outsidethe Agora, or on an excavationdump, or from an area defined as coveringseveral squares.)

III. GROUPS OF OSTRAKA
a deposit as E 1-la makes it unlikely that sherds from the ostrakophoriaof 487 B.C. 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 acceptedview thereforeis that the great bulk of this deposit came from the ostrakophoria of 482 B.C.or an abortive ostrakophoria of 483
B.C.9
One difficulty with the ostrakophoria of
small numberof ostrakaagainst him: too 482, when Aristeideswas ostracized,is the comparatively
few to be a representative sample of the total vote; too many if the votes "winner were kept teof votes separate.10 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 introducedinto 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

of the 6th and early 5th centurieswas found with them, but there were also some fragmentsfrom
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 carrieddown earlier or later pieces.

In Agora grid squares A 18-19 and C 18, where groups E 1-la and E 2 were found, the comparisonis as follows: Aristeides-7 ostrakaor 14%of the 50 found in groups Themistokles-244 ostrakaor 75%of the 327 found in groups Kallixenos-213 ostrakaor 84%of the 253 found in groups Hippokrates-92 ostrakaor 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: Aristeides-28 ostrakaor 56%of the 50 found in groups Themistokles-51 ostrakaor 16%of the 327 found in groups Kallixenos-24 ostrakaor 10%of the 253 found in groups Hippokrates-19 ostrakaor 14%of the 136 found in groups (The percentagesare very little changed if the total numbers of each man's ostraka are used, and the location of the singles, often between squares, unduly complicatesthe 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.The simplest but highly speculative explanation would be that an ostrakophoriain 483, which was largely a contest among Themistokles, Hippokrates,and Kallixenos,failed for lack of 6000 votes,but that in 482 either Themistoklesor the Alkmeonid Thus the big dumps would date from 483, connectionfound it desirableto rid Athens of Aristeides'solid conservatism. and the smaller collectionsin E 15 and H 12 would be from 482. But this still does not explain why even in E 15 and H 12 Aristeides'numbersare absolutelylower than those of the others. 1 Of the 43, 41 are of HippokratesAl- (185-225); the two HippokratesA- (293, 294) are addedthereto,since there is no trace of the son of Anaxileos.

could have (Others: Habron 1, Habronichos 1, Eratyllos 1, fragments 8.) All eight "candidates" been up for ostracismin any of the known ostrakophoriaiof the 480's, but the absenceof Hipparchos, Megakles, and Xanthippos makes it likely again that this group comesfrom either an abortive ostrakophoriain 483 or that in which Aristeideswas ostracizedin 482 B.C. This holds true only if Kallias Kratiouwas the third friendof the tyrantswho was ostracizedin 485 B.C., as his 760 ostraka If he was not, and, in the great Kerameikosdeposit suggest and as a numberof scholarsmaintain.12 for example, either Hippokrates or Kallixenos was, both this group and E 1-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.13The fact that Kallias ostraka appear in no Agora group of the early against period is, however, a strong argument dating Agora groups to 485 B.C., since it is extremely unlikely that a man who received760 votes in 486 B.C. would get off scot-freethe next year, or that if his Kerameikosostrakabelong to 485 B.C., the votes of that year would have been dividedbetween Agora and Kerameikosin such a way that no vote against Kallias came to the Agora. E 3 (E-F 12-14). Agora IV, VIII, XII; Vanderpool in Hesperia, Suppl. VIII, pp. 394-395. Building fill of the Strategeion(?)south of the Tholos included57 ostraka;the fill was largely "Perserschutt"but not depositedhere beforethe middle of the 5th century.

(Others: Acharnion 1, Dionysios 1, Eratyllos 1, Charias Paianieus 1, Habron 1, Hierokl- 1, Kydrokles1.) Of the early groups, this one is in many ways the most interesting,for if it representsonly one ostrakophoria(not countingthe sherd inscribedCharias Paianieus, which was found in a disturbed part of the fill), that ostrakophoriamust 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 impressivenumbersof Themistokles and Kallixenos. To be sure, Themistokles must often have been a "popular"candidate, if we may judge from his 1696 ostraka in the Kerameikosdeposit. The presence of Hippokrates Anaxileou may lend credenceto the early assignment of this group, since his most securelydated ostrakonis from one of the lower levels of the only stratifiedgroup, 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 associatedwith Boutalion, HippokratesAlkmeonidou,and Eratyllos, as here, whereas he is of 482 or an abortive completelyabsent from the large groups most often datedto the ostrakophoria
Cf. Thomsen, pp. 95-99, where referencesare given to the opinions of Daux, Mattingly, and Vanderpool.The case for Kallias as the third friend of the tyrantsostracizedin 485 is put most convincinglyby Williams (ZPE 31, 1978, pp.103-113). 13 See Thomsen, pp. 98-99, for an explanation of how the location of the Kallias and Megakles ostraka could be interpretedas belonging either to the same or differentyears.

of 483 B.C. If that absenceis significant,it may mean that he either droppedout of the ostrakophoria political picture or died soon after 486 B.C., when he apparently receivedat least 36 votes, those found in the great Kerameikosdeposit. E 4 (E 15). Hands, JHS 79, 1959, p. 77. In early 5th-centuryfill over a limestonewall east of the Great Drain were 41 ostraka,of which the numbersand percentagesfollow:
Themistokles Aristeides Kallixenos Hippokrates AlArist- CharopFragments 19 15 2 2 1 2 (46%) (37%) (5%) (5%) (2%) (5%)
The comparativelylarge number of Aristeides sherds and smaller numbers for Kallixenos and Hippokratesmake this group differentfrom E 1 and E 2, althoughit is like them in personnel.The of the absenceof the four earliest victims makes it most likely to have come from an ostrakophoria late 480's, after 484 B.C. E 4a (E 15). An extensionof E 4; that is, early 5th-centuryfill east of the Great Drain, between the drain and the limestonewall. The 10 ostrakahere seem basicallyconsistentwith those of E 4, so that joining the two togethermakes good sense:
Themistokles Aristeides Kallixenos Themistokles Aristeides Kallixenos Hippokrates AlArist- CharopFragments 4 (40%) 3 (30%) 3 (30%) 23 18 5 2 1 2 (45%) (35%) (10%) (4%) (2%) (4%)
The 51 ostrakaof E 4 and E 4a combinedshow the following numbersand percentages:

In early 5th-centurygravelly fill of the early road drain about 35 meterssouthwestof the BoundaryStone andjust south of the later Doric propylon, 41 ostraka;a few pieces of later pottery probablyintrudedwhen the west branchof the Great Drain was constructedbelow the road level.
Themistokles Kallixenos Hippokrates AlAristeides Fragment 18 9 7 6 1 (44%) (22%) (17%) (14%) (3%)
The make-up here is closest to that of E 4-4a, so that it too may well have come from an ostrakophoria of 483 or 482 B.C. E 6 (H 12:14). Agora XII; Hesperia 23, 1954, p. 54. A rubbish pit of the late 6th-early 5th centuries,with some disturbance,produced22 ostraka,dividedthus:

Again, despite Themistokles' rather poor showing, this group most likely comes from 483 or
482 B.C.

The mixture is as before, so presumablyfrom 483 or 482 B.C. E 8 (G 6:3). AgoraIV, X, XII, XXI; Vanderpool,Hesperia 15,1946, pp. 266-275. A stratified deposit in a rectangular rock-cut shaft with roughly chronologicalstratification.Note depths in meters:Megakles (9.00, 8.45, 8.45); Hipparchos (8.45, 6.00); Boutalion(8.45); Hippokrates(8.00, 8.00, 6.00); Kallixenos (7.40, 7.40); Themistokles (6.00); Aristeides (6.00, 5.00, 4.50).

Since this was an accumulationof rubbishand since both the Hipparchosand Megakles ostrakaare concentratedin the lower levels while Aristeides is nearest the top, it seems likely that more than one ostrakophoriais represented. E 9 (E 15:6). Agora IV, XII, XXI; Hesperia 10, 1941, p. 3; Vanderpool,Hesperia 15, 1946, pp. 322, 325.

If this is a true group with all the sherds belonging to a single year, that year was most probably 487 B.C.; otherwise it is difficultto accountfor the ostrakonof Hipparchos.Except for the absenceof Kallixenos and Megakles, it is most like E 3, which seems to belong to 487 B.C.

The revised stemma arrivedat 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 ostracismof the elder Alkibiades in 460 B.C., a year after Kimon, and for much the same reason, that is, post-Ithomeanti-Spartanfeeling. (Note that of the six ostrakawith preservedlambdas,two have Ionic forms and four Attic, a good indication of the beginningof the mid-centuryshift.)

It is not even certainthat this is an ostrakonin the political sense of the word except for its date and the appearanceof two names;a sherd with a name on it might serve a variety of purposes (see AgoraXXI, pp. 16-21). The name Archenoshas been reportedonly elsewhere, spelled Archennos(Pape, s.v.). If Philoxenon is a name, it should be

The second name might be Charops, Charopides,or Charopinos. Neither context nor vessel helps to date the sherd, and the only letter that providesa clue is the chi, the form of which is more likely to appear in the earlier part of the 5th centurythan in the later (see p. 12 above).

Aristeides(PA, 1695; APF, pp. 48-49) was ostracizedin 482 B.C. (Aristotle,AthPol 22; see also Herodotos, 8.79.1), but it is not necessaryto believe that the ostrakafound in the Agora belong to that year. They are found frequentlyin groupswith ostrakaof Themistokles,Kallixenos,and Hippokrates,but in much smaller numbers.Therefore,only if numbersin our sample are not indicative of the whole would these groups have come from the ostrakophoriaof 482 B.C. For some of the groups at least there is the possibility that they come from an earlier ostrakophoria(perhaps an abortiveone in 483 B.C.) in which Aristeidesreceiveda scattervote. He is frequentlyidentifiedon these ostrakaas the son of Lysimachosand only once (34) as from Alopeke, where that designation is crossedout and Lysimachouwritten below. Identificationof the most fragmentarypiecesbelow is based partly on their associationin groups where ostraka abound and partly on the kind of sherd and the arrangement,form, and appropriatenessof letters. So, for example, the -i,axof 23 occurs in no other candidate'sname and 27's alpha and lambda beginning names could only belong to Aristeides Lysimachou.

Boutalion was in later times, at least, a name for a blockheador simpletonand was so used by the poets of Middle Comedy, Antiphanes and Xenarchos. Whether the associationwas with the name's possible derivationfrom 3Sovs or came from some particularbearerof the name is unclear. The only other Boutalionreportedis probablythis man's grandson,BoutalionMarathonios,one of the Treasurersof the Other Gods in 420/19 B.C. (IG II2, 370, line 12). The fact that all sevenof the elder Boutalion's Agora ostraka come from early groups along with Themistokles, Kallixenos, Hippokrates,and Aristeidesmakes it certainthat he was a candidatein the 480's.

DIONYSIOS (KOR)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' brotherHermolykos (PA 5164), who fought at Mykale and Karystos.The contextsin which Dieitrephes' ostrakawere found suggestthat he was a candidatein the late 460's, either in the ostrakophoriain which Kimon was ostracizedin 461 or in that in the next year when the elder Alkibiadesmay have receivedthe most votes.

Hegestratos has presentedunusual problems. 128 and 129 were published originally by Vanderpoolas ostraka.I republishedthem as graffiti,mistakenly,as the discoveryof 130 made clear by its more certainpresentationof the patronymic.But 130 presentsnew difficulties,since it is apparostrakon,one which could be used against either of two candidates,depending ently a "reversible" on which side was shown. The name Hegestratosis known but not very common;Hasimion has not been reported. The particular combinationof letter forms and direction of writing seems to be earlierthan the 5th century:use of closedeta for aspiration(128, 130); reversedthree-barredsigma (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 companywith other ostrakaand all may be earlierthan the 5th century,it is possiblethat they have a different purpose;perhaps they are some kind of countersin a game with both Hegestratosand Timodemos as meaningful names or titles; compare the children's game ostrakindainvolving a sherd black on one side and white on the other (schol. Plato, Phaedrus241B).

Agora 128. Elsewhere 5. Total 133. Candidateof the 480's. Previously published: Hesperia, Suppl. IV, p. 32, fig. 24:d; Vanderpool, Hesperia, 15, 1946, p. 274, no. 13; KerameikosIII, pp. 85-86, nos. 162 and 163; Raubitschek, AA (JdI 84) 1969, p. 107, no. 2; Semple LecturesII, pp. 219, 228, 245, 248, figs. 3, 39, 40; Thomsen, pp. 94, 96, 102, note 321. That Hippokrates Alkmeonidouand Hippokrates Alopekethen are one and the same is not provedby any one ostrakonon which both designationsappear, but it is virtually certainthat they are. BothVanderpool(Hesperia 15,1946, pp. 274-275) and Peek (Kerameikos III) cameto this conclusion,which is strengthenedby the way in which both designationsare foundtogetherin the same deposits:in E 1 there are 29 with Alkmeonidouand six with Alopekethen;in E 2 there are 38 with Alkmeonidouand three with Alopekethen.This Hippokratesis otherwisenot known,but he is certainly a memberof the Alkmeonidfamily and, alongwith the fatherof MegaklesHippokratous,may testifyto a connectionwith the Peisistratids(Peisistratos'fatherwas Hippokrates:Herodotos,1.59). Whetherthe Alkmeonideswho madea dedicationat the sanctuaryof Apollo Ptoiosin the middle of the 6th century(BCH 44, 1920, pp. 227-228) couldbe this Hippokrates'fatheris uncertain,since he (Hippokrates) would belong to an earlier generation than the other candidatesin the 480's. Davies (APF, p. 373) suggeststhat this man may be "theHippokrates,syngenesof Megakles IV, for whom Pindarwrote a threnos(F 137 Snell) sometimein the 480's (schol. Pind. Pyth. vii.18 a)." Because both HippokratesAlkmeonidou(or Alopekethen)and HippokratesAnaxileou (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 Hippokratesonly 60 preserveevidencefor the use of
single or double pi: 47 (78%) show pi doubled; 13 (22%) have only one. Contrast Hipparchos
Charmou (Kollyteus).

Hippokratesson of Anaxileos (APF, pp. 373-374) is known only from the ostraka,the contexts of which suggest that he was a candidate in one of the first three ostrakophoriai.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.

(DAA, no. 21) and going on to victories at all the Pan-Hellenic games (IG I2, 606), of which only the pancraticvictoryat Olympia is dated (472 B.C., Pausanias,5.9.3). The dedicationon the Akropolishas been datedby letter formsto about 450 B.C. or soon after (DAA, no. 164), and the ostrakamay be datedthen as well, again on letter shapes. The intervalbetween the Olympicvictory and the dedicationmight be explained if Kallias became politically ambitious at the mid-century, wished to advertise his prowess, and so incurredat 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,"AntCl 43, 1974, pp. 332-333.

Davies (APF, p. 598) suggests a connectionwith the family of Kallias Hipponikou Alopekethen,which is Hesperia 51, 1982, supportedand strengthenedby H. A. Shapiro ("KalliasKratiouAlopekethen," pp. 69-73).

Kallixenos (APF, p. 376) is known only from the ostraka.As Stamiresand Vanderpoolpointed out (p. 378), Kallixenos is certainly a memberof the Alkmeonidfamily. 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., accordingto Vanderpool (Semple LecturesII, pp. 231-235). For a possible professionalsupplier of ostrakanaming Kallixenos see p. 161 below and Figure 30.

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 repetitionof that. Perhaps the latter is more likely, leaving a genitive of the patronymicending in omega, for which there are several parallels (see p. 13 above).

Like 347, 360, and 464 this is presumablya misspelling of Kallixenos by a writer who had his important relative in mind. The patronymic'slast letter is written below the line for lack of space, but it is difficultto know what its orientationmay 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 reversedsigma. In the latter case it would be nominative,and there is the barest possibility that a really confused citizen was voting against Aristonymosthe son of Kleisthenes.See Vanderpool's suggestion(Stamiresand Vanderpool,p. 378) that Kallixenos' father was a younger brotherof Kleisthenes whose demoticdifferedfrom most of the Alkmeonidsbecause he had movedout beforethe reformsof 508/7 B.c.

recalledbefore five years had elapsed, that is, after the battle of Tanagra, in the summerof 457 B.C. (Plutarch, Kimon 18.1; Perikles 10.4). R. K. Unz argues (CQ 36, 1986, pp. 68-85) for Kimon's ostracismin 459 B.C. Severalof the ostrakafound in the Agora may well come from Kimon'sostrakophoria, whatever the year, on the basis of both contexts and letter shapes. But since several of the Kimon ostraka from the great Kerameikosdeposit makejoins 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 candidateas early as 486 B.C.

Whether the Nikodemoswho was archonin 483/2 B.C. (Aristotle,AthPol 22.7) could be this candidate'sfather seems unlikely, but he might be a son or other relative.

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.

Laispodias belongs by letter shapes to the early part of the 5th century.A known bearerof the name is a late 5th-centurygeneral (415/14 B.C., Thucydides,6.105), who is probablyalso the envoy to Sparta of 411 B.C. (Thucydides, 8.86.9) and may or may not be the objectof Antiphon's Kara Aair7ro8bov. The Laispodias of the ostrakonmay be a grandfatherof 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 dedicationabout 500 B.C. (IG I2, 616). Our candidatemight then be the son of that Spo[u]disand allow the ostrakonto be restoredthus:

Aristotlereports (AthPol 22.5) that Megakles (PA 9695, APF, p. 379) was the secondfriendof the tyrants to be ostracized(487/6 B.C.). The very large number (4647) of his ostrakain the great Kerameikosdepositsuggeststhat the sherdsfromthe ostrakophoria of 486 B.C. were depositedthere. There are objectionsto that date, based both on the presenceof votes on adjoiningsherdsand pieces of a single pot against men who were perhaps more likely to be victims somewhatlater and on the fact that the rude commentson Megakles' sherds from the Kerameikosconcentrateon his morals more than on his tyrannic tendencies, as would be expected in 486 B.C. (Lewis, ZPE 14, 1974,
94
IV. CATALOGUE
pp. 1-4). It is suggestedthat the great Kerameikosdeposit dates from the early 470's and that the large vote against Megakles was for a secondostracism,which is doubtfullyattestedby Lysias, 14.39 (Bicknell,AntCl 44, 1975, pp. 172-175). Until the publicationof the Kerameikosostraka,it seems betterto assign them to the certainAristoteliandate (Williams, ZPE 31,1978, pp. 103-113). In that case, it would be reasonableto assume that the groupsin the Agorawhich includeMegakles ostraka (E 1, E 3, E 8, E 27) come at least in part from 486 or possibly487, while those groupsof 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).

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. He
certainly must have received votes in the one ostrakophoria that he is thought to have engineered to
get rid of his rival Thoukydides son of Melesias (see 1050, 1051) in 444/3 B.C. (Plutarch, Perikles

Phaiax (PA 13921, APF, pp. 521-524) 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 415 B.C.) of that last ostrakophoria have been much discussed.

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 sufficientlyactive after 487 B.C. to be feared as a possible tyrant. The restorationof the patronymicby Vanderpool as of the name in 5th-centuryAthens (IG I2, 928, line 76; 950, [1]7rtvadpo is based on two occurrences line 102). See SpintharosEu[ ] (662).

Identificationis difficultsince the single ostrakonis incomplete.The simplestrestorationwould give us Phrynondasson of Kratesios, Kratesippos,Kratesilaos,or such. But the only Phrynondas known to us was a notorious,and probablyforeign, rascal often mentionedby writers of comedy,
orators, and even Plato as the personification of wickedness. If he was a foreigner living in Athens
during the PeloponnesianWar (Suda,s.v.), he was too late and otherwiseunlikely to be the subject of this one ostrakonwhich was found along with ostrakaof Themistokles,Kimon,and Dieitrephes. So this Phrynondasis otherwiseunknown,but if the third line is correctlyinterpretedas a demotic, he was certainly a citizen and is likely to have been a candidatein the second quarter of the 5th
century. See Phillips, loc. cit., for a different interpretation.

A later Spintharos (PA 12855), at the end of the century, is certainlythe father of a Euboulos (PA 5369). The writing on this one Spintharossherd indicatesthat it belongs early in the century, and so, if relatedto the later Spintharos,he must havebeengrandfather or greatuncle.

father of Hippokleides,archon566/5 B.C.(PA 7617), has been arguedby N. G. L. Hammond ("II. The Philaids and the Chersonese,"CQ 6, 1956 [pp. 113-129], pp. 127-128), making Isagoras a Philaid and seeing the rivalry between Isagoras and Kleisthenesas rivalry between Philaids and Alkmeonids.The connectionhas been doubted (D. M. Lewis, "Cleisthenesand Attica,"Historia 12,1963 [pp. 22-40], pp. 25-26 and Davies, APF, p. 296), largely becauseHerodotosclearlystates that he cannot trace the connectionsof IsagorasTeisandrou fartherback, although he shows himself well acquaintedwith the Philaid origins in Aias' son Philaios and the line from Kypselosdown (6.34-36; 103-104). Bicknell (Studiesin AthenianPolitics and Genealogy,pp. 84-88) agrees that IsagorasTeisandrou cannot be a Philaid, but by making his father a brotherof Kimon Koalemos and son of Stesagorashe accounts both for his being of a "worthyfamily" and yet not a Philaid. Bicknellalso argues for a secondIsagoras(brotherof Miltiades II and son of Kimon Koalemos)on the basis of Nepos' report that Miltiades'frater . . agorascame to Miltiades' defense in 489 B.C. (Miltiades 7.5). The ostrakoncannot settle the matterof Isagoras'kinship but merely gives us one more generation.

THRASYKLES
(1052)
Agora 1. Elsewhere 0. Total 1. Candidateof the 480's. Previouslypublished:Vanderpoolin Hesperia, Suppl. VIII, p. 403. Whether the one sherd with Thrasykles' name is an ostrakonin 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 grandfatherof the Thrasykles who was active in the latter part of the century (PA 7317).

APPENDIX
NORTH SLOPEOSTRAKA
In a well on the North Slope of the Akropolis, which was excavatedby Oscar Broneer in 1937, there were found 191 ostraka. Broneerdetermined'that the well, having been dug and used in the 6th centuryB.C.,went out of use by the end of the centuryand began to fill up gradually.The 190 ostrakaof Themistokleswere found at about four metersfrom the bottomof the well, which had a total depth of 18.40 m. The one Kimon ostrakonwas found about twelve meters from the bottom, and the well was completelyfilled by the end of the third quarterof the 5th century,the latest sherds being red-figuredsherdsof about 430 B.C. As Broneerpointed out,2 the remarkableconsistencyand uniformityof the 190 Themistokles ostrakasuggest that they were not a chancecollectionof votes that had been cast and then disposed of. It seems clear that they were made as a group, whether to distributeor to sell, but that for one reasonor anotherthey were never used but tidied away in the well. The consistencyand uniformity are evidentboth in the kind of sherds used and in the nature of the writing. Concerningthe 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, describedwith profilesand designatedas I, II, and III by Broneer;3 they range in diameterfrom 0.062 m. to 0.075 m. and are closely similar to Agora ostrakafor Kallixenos, Themistokles,etc.4The skyphosbases are all very much used as kylix bases alike and find parallels amongAgora skyphoiof the 480's.5The small bowls, averaging0.074 m. in top diameter,perhapsonly leather-hardor so badly firedas to presentan easierwriting surface,are poor examples of a type representedby P 12378,6which brokeeasily as they driedout after removal fromthe well. As possible "wasters" they suggestthat the makersof this groupof ostrakahad access to a potter's throwaways and that the potter had recently suffered an accident involving such breakagein a batch of kylikes and skyphoithat only the bases were salvageable.The fourth type of ostrakais small sherds, some from the brokenkylikes and others from similar vessels that like the bowls had been inadequatelyfired. In additionto the uniformityof materials,the 190 ostrakashow remarkablesimilaritiesin the form and content of their inscriptions. Broneer distinguished 14 different hands on the basis of certain combinationsof letter forms, and his assignmentshave been kept here, in order to avoid confusion,although some anomalieswill be pointedout and possiblechangessuggested.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 anothercriterionto a differenthand. But whateverthe details of the classificationby hands may be, it is certainthat the uniformityin general argues a comparativelysmall numberof writers. The catalogue is arrangedby hands, with an introductionto each hand noting its characteristics, pointing out variations from the norm, and listing specificerrors made by the hand. A new number has been assigned to each ostrakon,7incorporatingthe letter designating the hand and

were assigned before hands were distinguishedand so make for some confusion.For each ostrakon the catalogue includes the new number, the excavation or AO (Akropolis Ostraka) number, the kind of sherd, the maximum dimensionof sherds (the types and uniformityof the bases and bowls make measurementthere unnecessary),location and orientationof the inscription,the text, and a note of peculiarities.
HAND A
(1146-1336)
(1146 A-1177 A; P1. 4) Hand A includes 31 kylix bases and 1 skyphos base. All are inscribedon the undersidewith letters facing out, that is, with their bottoms toward the center. The theta, mostly circular but with upright or St. Andrew'scross;sigma has acute angles;the occasionallysquare, is crossbarred, 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 precedesthe name; on all the others it follows the name, thereby separatingit fromthe patronymic.Except for 1157 A, which has smallerletters,more spacebetweenthe 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 greatestuniformityand fewest errors.The few errors: 1163 A includes an extra sigma in the name Themistokles; 1174 A originally started the patrothese to nu epsilon;1176 A has a nymic with a mu and the beginningsof a roundletter but corrected verticalbar in the first omicron,making it look like a phi.

THEMISTOKLES NEOKLEOUS PHREARRIOS: HAND B
145
HAND B (1178 B-1210 B; PI. 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 inscribedinside and, except for 1208 B and 1210 B, have letters facing in. The sherdsare 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 punctuationlike 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 uncontractedending of the name Themistokles, as do also the ostrakaof Hands G and H. The four ostraka(1184 B, 1191 B, 1199 B, and 1200 B) that add ITro should perhaps be separatedout, 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 inscribedon top after an abortiveattempt underneath;1192 B, 1197 B, and 1198 B all show what appear to be reversedsigmas, and 1198 B possibly omits the omicronfrom Themistokles;on 1196 B the fourth strokeof a mu written for nu is crossedout; 1200 B has two-dot punctuationbetweenname and patronymiclike the ostrakaof Hand I and misspellsthe patronymic.

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 -deE hand (especially since 1297 H has a four-barredsigma like 1295 G) or to include the three ostraka of Hand H with those of Hand B.

HAND K (1307 K-1314 K; PI. 11) Hand K includes 7 kylix bases and 1 sherd. Of the seven kylix bases six are inscribedbeneath, with lettersfacing out;the one (1314 K) is inscribedon top, with lettersfacingin. The chief criterion of identificationis the use of the demoticinstead 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-barredsigmas; 1310 K shows the uncontracted form of the name Themistokles. The variety of both thetas and sigmas suggeststhe possibilitythat various hands experimentedwith 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 misspellsboth the ending of the name and the demotic;the first theta on 1312 K has crossbars;on 1313 K the kappa of Themistokleswas at first omitted,then the lambdawas convertedto kappa and the lambdawritten in abovethe line.

COMPARISON OF OSTRAKAFROMTHE NORTH SLOPEAND THE AGORA
Becausethe Agora ostrakaseem to be the "amateur" productsof almost as many hands as there it is are sherds while those of the North Slope seem to have been written by a few "professionals", two on matters such as sounds to the format, materials, text, alphabet, compare groups interesting and spelling, and grammar. As far as materials are concerned,the limited range of sherds used in the North Slope group (kylix and skyphosbases, misfiredsmall bowls, and very small fine-waresherds) contrastswith the almostlimitless varietyin the Agoragroup.Also, all the North Slope ostrakaare incised ratherthan 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.
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 ostrakawhich exhibit differentkinds of writing (retrograde,boustrophedon, Schlangenschrift)have no parallel among the North Slope ostraka.The uniformityof 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 aroundin a single line from left to right. Only on a few bases and on the small sherds is the inscriptionarrangedin two lines. Punctuationis much more frequenton the North Slope ostraka (perhapsbecauseof the circularform), with verticallines between the two elementson 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 comparisonhere is obviouslyonly with the early ostrakafrom the Agora. Ionic lambda occurson six North Slope ostraka:in both name and patronymicon 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 occurrenceof Ionic lambda comparedto the one Ionic lambda against 580 Attic lambdas in the Agora suggests that the North Slope "hands" were more advancedin literacy. As far as thetas are concerned,of the 180 North Slope ostrakacompleteenough to be assigned to handsjust 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 verticalstrokes.Again, the Agora ostraka, where crossbarredthetas make up 78 percent of the whole, seem to be the productsof less advancedwriters. The use of four-barredsigmas is limited to seven North Slope ostraka(1262 F, 1271 F, 1273 F, 1295 G, 1297 H, 1307 K, 1309 K) and is not consistenteven on these, sometimesappearingbefore 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-barredsigmas. Since Themistokles' name involves no sigmas that come before vowels but only finals and those before a dental, these North Slope ostrakaprovide no evidence on the possible differentiationof sibilants suggestedin connectionwith the use of four-barred sigmas on the Agora ostraka.The use of reversedthree-barredsigmas is similarly erraticon North Slope ostraka:beforetheta on 1192 B, 1197 B, 1269 F, and 1322 M; one final on 1198 B, 1320 M, and 1321 M; beforetheta and one final on 1266 F and 1319 M; and all three on 1323 M. Only two ostraka show doubledsigma beforetheta: 1316 L and 1318 L. Sounds and Spelling. The use of omega to reproduce the sound of the contractedgenitive ending is found only in Hand L (1315 L-1318 L); this is roughly comparableto the handful of instances among the Agora ostraka,but its occurrencehere in only one hand does suggest that it is idiosyncratic.Tau for medial theta in Themistokles occurson only two of the North Slope ostraka (1182 B and 1183 B), a much smaller percentagethan appearedin the Themistoklesostrakafrom the Agora (1 percentvs. 8 percent);this, taken with the North Slope hands'possiblymore advanced literacy suggestedabove, might indicatethat the use of tau was an older style. The only evidencefor doubling of consonantson the North Slope ostrakawould come in Themistokles'demotic,but only the eight sherdswritten by Hand K (1307 K-1314 K) use the demotic, and all agree with the majorityon Agora ostrakain keeping the old-fashionedsingle rho.
160
In line with North Slope hands' greater sophisticationis the increasein vowel contraction: on endingof the name Themistoklesappear in comonly 12 ostraka(7 percent)does the uncontracted in But the fact that the 12 examplescomefrom five differwith 34 the parison percent Agoragroup. ent 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 advancedmight suffer relapses, unless of course some hand-assignmentsare questionable. Epsilon and sigma are the most frequentlyomitted letters on North Slope ostraka.Twice the second epsilon of the patronymicNeokleos is omitted (1228 D and 1305 I), as if still further conbut the tracted;once the first epsilon of Neokleos is omitted (1240 E), as if that too was contracted; 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 Themistoklesis omitted once (1212 C). These omissionsseem to be the result of carelessness,like those of iota fromThemistokles (1300 I) and lambda from Neokleos (1225 D). At the same time, there is considerableevidence for care taken in making corrections.On 1225 D, where the lambda was omitted from the patronymicNeokleos, the originally omitted lambda in the name Themistokles was written over the epsilon, and the epsilon repeated.Similarly,the lambdaoriginallyomittedfrom the patronymic in 1284 F was written in above the line, as was the patronymic'sfirst omicronon 1299 H. In four cases kappa and lambda seem to be written together,as if one had been omittedand 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 patronymichad an extra stroke, like a mu, which was then crossed out (1196 B, 1224 D), convertedto 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-shapednu of 1303I seems to have resultedfrom the additionof a fourthstroke to a reversednu. The writer of 1303I had other troublestoo:he startedthe medialtheta of the name Themistoklesbeforethe sigma and so had to overwrite;and the kappa in the patronymicappearsto have been convertedfrom an epsilon. On 1220 C the second letter of the name was started as an omicronand then convertedto an epsilon. Extra letters appear as follows: sigma after medial theta in the name Themistokles (1163 A); nu after first epsilon in the patronymicNeokleos (1200 B); kappa and an upright between name and patronymicon 1295 G were crossedout. Apparentmisspellingsresult from omicron'shavinga verticalstrokelike a phi: 1176 A, 1200 B, and 1229 E. A clearmisspellingof the demoticon 1310 K involves a phi crossbarredlike theta as well as one or two missing letters and is accompaniedby some uncertaintyin the ending of the name Themistokles. In general the spelling on North Slope ostrakais somewhat less erratic than on those from the Agora, but that is exactly what one would principle,of writers repeatingthemselves. expect, on the practice-makes-perfect most often appears in the nominativecase on the North Themistokles Grammar.The name 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 ), and one example of the dativechangedto the nominative(1299 H). In view of the Agora practicethe dativeis not at all surprising,especially since it is mostly limited to one hand. But the genitiveis odd,both becauseof its completeabsenceon Agora ostrakaand becauseits meaning is difficultto divine. Perhaps it is simply a matterof anticipatory dittographyin view of the similar ending of the patronymic.As on the Agora ostrakathere are a few examples of the patronymicin the nominative:1303I, 1319 M, 1322 M.
161
The "professionally" preparedThemistokles ostraka found in the North Slope well raises the whether other were mass producedeither for distributionor for sale. One very ostraka question 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 closedvessels with or without bands or poor glaze. All show considerableuniformity in arrangement,spacing, spelling, and letter shapes (alphas with slanting bars, tall and thin lambdas,X-shapedchis). Because Agora ostraka are sown broadcast,this kind of uniformity is much harder to detect than in the homogeneous,one-candidategroup found in the North Slope well. The uniformityof this sample Kallixenos group illustratedin Figure 30 leapt to the eye only because,comingfromthe 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 ostrakafrom other depositsand even ostrakanaming other men written by the same hand. In the latter case at least, it would be likely that a professional but unprejudicedscribe was active in the manufactureof ostraka for sale. But detectingthe same hand at work in different names with but few common letters is a very subjective business, especially with such largely fragmentarymaterial.
DEPOSIT SUMMARIES
In conformitywith other volumes of the Agora series an alphabetic list of Deposits is given here, although more than half the OstrakonGroups are not Deposits in the usual sense, that is, a body of disparate materials which, by their associationwith one another in a well, cistern, pit, dump, or constructionfilling, can be used to establish chronologicalrelationships.Such depositsare dignified with a Deposit number added to the grid designation, as, for example, C 18:11 indicates the eleventh filling thought to be a more or less consistentdeposit found in C 18; it happens to include both OstrakonGroup E 2 and a quantity of other potteryof the early 5th century. Listed here in grid alphabeticorder are both the properlyconstitutedand numberedDeposits in which either Ostrakon Groups or singles are included and those Groups made up of ostraka found togetherin fill which is more often than not datedby the ostrakathemselves.For descriptions of the Deposits that are, or include, Ostrakon Groups, see Chapter III above;only the Deposits in which single ostraka appear are described here in brief summaries of fuller accounts given in relevantAgoravolumes, which are listed in each case, or of study-notesby excavatorsand others in the Agora.
