The first epigraphic volume, No. XV, The Athenian Councillors( 1975) by the late Benjamin D. D h NMeritt and John S. Traill, contains all known epigraphic texts recordingt he activities of the Councillors. t A -No. XVII, The Funerary Monuments, by the late Donald W. Bradeen (1974), deals with all gravestones C t found in the excavations. a N The present volume is triple in both substancea nd authorshipb ut homogeneousi n that all its parts are s - e Yalike in presenting documentso f civic importance.I n Part I Gerald V. Lalonde publishes all the boundary di Bmarkers (horoi) found in the excavations.O nly a small proportiono f the stones had stood originally in the - u Cancient Agora;t he majority,a s in the case of the tombstones,h ad been broughti nto the area in late times for t S Cre-use. al e: Part II, by Merle K. Langdon, comprises all known epigraphic records of the transactions of the c sVendors (poletai), a board of civic officialsr esponsiblef or the sale or lease of public and confiscatedp roper- si nty, the lease of mines and taxes, and the letting of contractsf or public works. The majorityo f the stones have s ebeen found in the excavationo f the Agora where all the recordsw ere originally displayed. a c l i In Part III Michael B. Walbank deals with the terms and proceduref or the leasing of public and sacred C L property.T he responsibleo fficialsm ight be those appointedb y the state, i.e. the Vendors,o r representatives . of yof lesser political bodies such as demes, or spokesmenf or sacred establishmentss uch as sanctuaries.B y no l l nmeans all the recordso f such transactionsn eed have been set up in the Agora, but the present study is con- o o o fined to those inscriptionst hat surely had stood in the Agora and that are now to be found eitihthere irn the Agora e h sMuseum or in the EpigraphicalM useum in Athens. c S u In keeping with the policy,a nnounced in The Athenian Agora XV, p. v, the authors of the present n alvolume have confinedt heir editions to texts based on fresh autopsy with epigraphicn otes and bibliography a nbut without translationo r detailed commentary.I n each part of the volume, however, the catalogueo f texts c ois precededb y a discussion of the theme based on all the available evidence both epigraphic and literary. i s er rAgain in line with established practice in this epigraphic series, illustration is generally confinedt o those e m pstones for which photographsa re not available elsewhere, almost always in Hesperia. A r The individual authors have made their personal acknowledgmentst o helpful colleagues and bene- © Fofact or s in turn deservet he gratitude of the PublicationsP rogramo f the Agora Excavations for the years of back-breakinga nd eye-trying labor devoted to the study of these precious but sadly frag- mented public recordso f ancient Athens. Equally deservinga re the Editor and her staff who have made the results of all that researchs o readily accessiblet o the reader.
