CGRN 52

Date :

ca. 375-350 BC

Justification: lettering and style (Daux).

Provenance

Erchia . Found in modern Spata, in Attica. Now in the Epigraphical Museum in Athens (inv. no. 13163).

Support

A small moulded stele, broken below, and somewhat worn on the left and right sides.

Height: 70 cm
Width: 44-45 cm
Depth: from top to bottom, 9.5-11 cm

Layout

The five columns are carefully separated by incised lines. Quasi-stoichedon, of 11-12 letters in length. Paragraphoi are usually indicated in the left margin before each specific date, or to highlight that a sacrifice occurs on the same date but presumably separately. These are not replicated here, though we have tried to reflect this segmentation in the translations. Month names are incised right next to the left margin, starting in the first stoichos. The remainder of the column concerning a given month starts after a vacat of one space, i.e. the following lines start in the second stoichos.

Letters: 5 mm high; the letters in the header and for column numbering are larger, ca. 1-1.3 cm high, and similarly the inscribed totals at the bottom of each column.

Bibliography

Edition here based on the first full edition of Daux 1963, with fig. 1 and pl. 13-14, with the corrections in Daux 1964: 676-677. The readings are for the most part uncontroversial. Cf. Takeuchi 2010-2013 for a new reading of line A20, adopted here (previously Πυλῶνι). Since column A is virtually complete, we have restored the total amount of drachmae in column A as its final, missing line.

Cf. also: SEG 21, 541; Sokolowski LSCG 18; Le Guen-Pollet CDE 61; AIO , with another English translation and commentary.

Commentary

This publication of the deme calendar has been devised essentially as a financial document. The price of offerings is carefully tabulated in order to facilitate accounting. A series of columns, five in total—clearly numbered and prefixed by the Greek letter Α-Ε—has been conceived in order to make the expenditure for the whole annual cycle of sacrifices divisible by that number. That is, each individual column treats the whole year chronologically, but when multiple significant sacrifices occur on the same day in the year, such sacrifices are occasionally divided over the five columns. The resulting sum per column is ca. 110 drachmae (col. Α = 111 dr.; Β = 108 dr.; Γ = 103 dr., with probably one sacrifice missing; Δ = 110 dr.; Ε has a lower total of 89 dr. but is missing the whole of the month of Skirophorion). The general total is uncertain, but would probably have been around 550 dr. To understand the ritual requirements on a particular day, one would thus have to consult all five columns. It may justifiably be presumed, then, that the primary objective of this method of dividing into five columns with more or less equal amounts was to make the sums manageable and payable by a body of deme officials (perhaps those holding the rank of δημαρχία, see below). In addition, the prices of animals offered are standardised: adult sheep and goats of 12 dr. (the most expensive offering in this calendar) are typically (but not exclusively) offered to male gods, while the same animals costing 10 dr. are usually (but not exclusively) offered to goddesses; we may thus infer that an ὄϊς and an αἴξ costing 12 dr. refer to a wether and a wether goat, while female incarnations of these animals appear to only cost 10 dr. The only case in the calendar where the sex of adult sheep or goat is explicitly mentioned appears in column Ε, where a κριός, a ram, is sacrificed to Hermes on the 4th of Thargelion; i.e. this was an uncastrated male sheep, by comparison with all the others in the calendar who were not ἔνορχοι. Other prices occasionally feature in the calendar: 7 dr. is the price for lambs (their sex is evident from the grammatical form); a kid (young male goat) occurs only once and is worth 5 dr.; least expensive are the piglets, 3 dr., whose gender can less certainly be determined. On the whole, the offerings are modest and the total amount at play equally so.

All of this is not to say that the inscription did not retain its primary function as a calendar. Though the stele is quite small and the letters minute, various reading tools (see also above on the layout) have been provided to ensure that it could be adequately and chronologically consulted. Each date is easily identifiable, occurring at the beginning of a given line (and thus never segmented as some of the other words in the columns can be). Ritual accuracy and the integrity of the document remained a primordial concern: cf. e.g. the added corrections in lines Β44, 59, and Ε38; all are concerned with a prohibition against take-away portions. For such prohibitions, see here CGRN 13 (Selinous), Face A, line 20, and CGRN 32 (Thorikos), with Commentary on lines 10-12.

Though the calendar is more or less completely extant (one sacrifice is missing in Column Γ and the whole of the last month, Skirophorion is missing in Column Ε) and provides a wealth of information concerning the practices of the deme. Further helpful information concerning Erchia and its rites has yet to be found, and it remains unclear what the header of the whole inscription, "The Greater Demarchy" (line 2), really means. Daux suggested that this was a sort of title: “liste principale des sacrifices à célébrer sous l’autorité de la Démarchie”. Humphreys, more suitably, opts to imagine a group of five annual magistrates appointed with executive and liturgical powers. Note indeed lines Ε48-59 of the calendar, where the herald is to obtain γέρα "just as the demarch does", thus implying that the demarch normally received perquisites, which implicitly confirms the expected role of this official as a sacrificial agent. Other indications of such an important role for the demarch are the only occasional mentions of other priestly personnel. For deme calendars in Attica, their focus on accounting, and the role of deme officials such as demarchs within them, see here CGRN 32 (Thorikos) and CGRN 56 (Marathonian Tetrapolis); cp. also CGRN 57 (Aixone).

On the whole, the calendar reveals how certain rites at Erchia closely matched those taking place in the city (ἐν ἄστε(ι), cf. Δ17) of Athens, usually on the Acropolis itself (ἐμ πόλε(ι)—often without further qualification), and at the same time; in fact, some are especially said to occur in specific places at Erchia during major festivals, for instance on its own acropolis (ἐμ πόλε(ι) Ἐρχιᾶσι vel sim.); see Commentary below for a discussion of many instances. Yet the picture is very much that of small community, whose annual sacrificial budget was not very big (about 550 dr.), and which does not sacrifice at all during the cold winter month, roughly the period of November to January: the month Maimakterion is not mentioned and its successor Poseideon only once (lines Ε22-30). The small scale is also perceptible in the fact no oxen are sacrificed and on one occasion a substitute for an expected ox is even envisaged (οἶς ἀν|[τ]ίβους, lines Α64-65). Other rites took place in a variety of locations across the deme, not all of them have been conclusively identified (e.g. the frequently occurring sacrifices ἐμ Πάγωι Ἐρχιᾶσιν, perhaps a nearby hill?).

Additionally, a few features of the calendar are worth noting. First, the goddess Kourotrophos often receives sacrifices of piglets in the sanctuary of other goddesses, presumably as preliminary offerings for larger sacrifices, see Pirenne-Delforge 2004; second, wineless offerings are occasionally mentioned, see Pirenne-Delforge 2011. Beyond these few general remarks, we opt here to discuss the text in its cross-referenced chronology and simultaneity, i.e. date by date, all the while indicating the relevant lines in each of the columns—rather than discussing each column item by item.

Lines Γ1-12 + Δ1-12 (Hekatombaion 21): As Mikalson notes, the occasion is unknown outside of Erchia and appears to be a small sacrifice specific to the deme. Two sets of sacrifices are performed, each consisting of a preliminary sacrifice for Kourotrophos and then a main sacrifice to Artemis respectively: one in a place, perhaps a sanctuary, said to be of the Sotidai at Erchia; the other on the hill or promontory called Akros at Erchia (this was apparently a different place from the location called ἐμ πόλει Ἐρχιᾶσι, which ought to refer to the acropolis of the deme proper). The group of the Sotidai is unknown and may have been a phratry or another local association. In both sacrifices to Artemis, the skin is not offered as a perquisite (cp. e.g. lines Ε1-8, and as is highly common elsewhere) but rather burned, καταγίζεσθαι; for this ritual, cp. here CGRN 13 (Selinous), Face A, line 12.

Lines Α1-5 + Β1-6 + Γ13-18 + Δ13-17 (Metageitnion 12): This appears to be an important date, since four simultaneous sacrifices are specified in four different columns. As Mikalson notes, since the sacrifice to Apollo Lykeios in column Α occurs in the city, that to Demeter in column Β at Eleusis and those to Zeus Polieus and Athena Polias in columns Γ and Δ on the Acropolis (in Athens), this might suggest that the reference is to a state festival; however, the occasion is otherwise unknown in Attica. A connection with preliminary rites for the Eleusinia might tentatively be suggested (on which see Mikalson, p. 46, though the date of this festival is controversial) or, perhaps more likely, with a state festival which may fall on the same date (though that remains uncertain), at CGRN 45, Face A, fr. 2.

Lines Β7-13 (Metageitnion 16): The sacrifice to Kourotrophos and Artemis Hekate in the sanctuary of that goddess is otherwise unattested and the occasion occurs only here in the calendar. The sanctuary was at Erchia and thus the sacrifice may be presumed to be strictly local. For Artemis Hekate at Athens, cf. IG I³ 383 (429/8 BC, there associated with Hermes); the goddess was invoked in connection with parturition in Aesch. Suppl. 676-677, more usually the domain of Ilithyia; on the connection of Artemis with childbirth, cf. also Eur. Hipp. 166-169; Hekate sometimes received the epithet kourotrophos.

Lines Ε1-8 (Metageitnion 19): A sacrifice to Heroines at a place called Schoinos ("the place of the reeds/rushes") in Erchia is mentioned here. The occasion is to be related with the sacrifice on the 20th of Metageitnion (below) but at any rate it appears to be local.

Lines Α6-13 (Metageitnion 20): At Erchia itself, we find here a specific and presumably local sacrifice to Hera Thelchinia ("who charms"). The epithet is rare, but Hsch. s.v. preserves a mention of the goddess in Athens and she is attested by a 4th-century-BC boundary from Velia, cf. SEG 26, 1211 (see Pirenne-Delforge - Pironti, p. 192-194, 232-233). The colour of the lamb to be offered to the goddess is specified as being "all-black", presumably a term employed to make sure that the animal did not even have a single spot or lighter tone. This stringent requirement is not attested elsewhere in the present Collection, where we find more flexibly defined "dark" animals, cf. CGRN 32 (Thorikos), lines 33-34 and 45-46, "dark or tawny" goats for Dionysus. It is striking that the animal is given in the accusative here, whereas all the other offerings are presented in the nominative, and that a form of ἀρήν is used, whereas all the other female lambs are designated by the term ἀμνή.

Lines Γ19-25 (Metageitnion 25): The occasion is otherwise unknown, but featured the holocaust of a piglet to Zeus Epopetes ("who watches over") at Erchia. The god is also attested in Attica by a small altar of Zeus Epopetes Nephalios, confirming that the god was expected to receive wineless offerings, cf. Papazarkadas. For the similar Zeus ᾿Επόπτης and ᾿Επόψιος, cf. Hsch. s.v. for the idea of Zeus "watching over", cp. more generally A. Supp. 402 and E. Hipp. 1363. In Greek literature, the notion that gods (should) watch over humans often implies that they also (should) act in consequence: the verb ὁράω is sometimes used in questions to gods ("do you see this?") or in admonitions ("look at this!"), both with an illocutionary force ("do something about it"). On holocausts, see Ekroth.

Lines Β14-20 (Boedromion 4): A holocaust of a white female lamb for Basile is prescribed on this day. The goddess was associated with Kodros and Neleus in a sanctuary on the southeast slope of the Acropolis, cf. IG I³ 84 (418/7 BC); of her local worship at Erchia, little is known. For white animals, see here: CGRN 6, lines 6-7 (a pregnant white female sheep to Hera Antheia at Miletos, mated by an also white ram) and CGRN 14, lines 2-3 (a white female sheep, probably for Hera at Gortyn). Given the association with Hera, a goddess occasionally known as Basileia (cf. Pirenne-Delforge - Pironti, chapter 2) the offering may seem particularly suitable for divine figure known as "Queen".

Lines Δ18-23 + Ε9-15 (Boedromion 5): This date is known as the civic festival of the Genesia, held in honour of dead parents, in Athens: see Mikalson, p. 49-50; Parker, p. 27-28. It would seem that ancestral heroes may have been worshipped in the context of this festival. Here, at Erchia this was the figure of Epops ("Overlooker", cp. Zeus Epopetes above, lines Γ19-25), while the same festival at Athens, not mentioned here, probably focused on Erechtheus, see the sacrificial calendar of Athens, CGRN 45, Face A, fr. 1, col. 3. The two entries preserved in the calendar of Erchia are intriguing and potentially problematic, because they are virtually identical: both attest to the wineless holocaust of a piglet in the sanctuary of the god at Erchia itself. Either two piglets were offered simultaneously (but accounted for differently and perhaps sacrificed by different magistrates) or perhaps—though less likely—an error has crept into the calendar (viz. one sacrifice may then have taken place in Athens and the other one in Erchia).

Lines Α12-16 + Β21-25 + Γ26-30 + Δ24-27 + Ε16-21 (Boedromion 27): Mentions of this sacrificial occasion are spread over all five columns of the calendar. Regrettably, nothing else is known about it, but it must clearly have been an important local festival. Intriguingly, sacrifices to Athena and Zeus are known to have taken place at Teithras on this day: CGRN 55, Face A, lines 7-12. This might suggest that we are dealing with a festival belonging to several Attic demes, though the gods honoured at Erchia (all on the Pagos) are of a different sort: the Nymphs, Acheloos, Alochos, Hermes, and Ge. Note, however, that Ge may fit particularly well with the Proerosia, which was celebrated in other demes around this time (the Autumn; the other gods also have a strong connection with the natural world, though admittedly less so with agriculture). For the Nymphs and Acheloos, CGRN 26 (Athens), Face 1, line 19. The name Alochos ("Unbedded") could be used of the virginal Artemis, cf. Pl. Tht. 149b, but it could also mean the "Wife" (cf. Pirenne-Delforge - Pironti, p. 191, n. 451). For the sacrifice of pregnant animals to Ge and other goddesses, especially Demeter, see here for example CGRN 32 (Thorikos, notably in connection with the Chloia and the Antheia), lines 38-39 and 43-44, CGRN 156 (Mykonos), lines 11-12, and CGRN 222 (Andania), lines 33 and 68; for further discussion, see Georgoudi and Bremmer.

Lines Α17-22 (Pyanopsion 14): Little is known about this specific rite, an apparently small sacrifice to the Heroines which takes place at Aulon in Erchia; according to Takeuchi's reading this should be literally a place meaning a "hollow" or a "glen" (not πυλών, as the earlier reading had it, implying a gate).

Lines Ε22-30 (Posideon 16): There is no other evidence for this sacrifice to Zeus at Erchia, but it appears to have involved at least two different manifestations: one at Petre (i.e. a rock) in Erchia, another to Zeus Horios, presumably in his local sanctuary. On Zeus Horios ("of the boundary"), see generally Pl. Leg. 8.842e-843a; for the Attic demes, cf. the sacrifice of a wether to this god in Skirophorion at CGRN 56 (Marathonian Tetrapolis), col. I, line 11, and see I.Eleusis 300 for a priest of the god (with Athena Horia) at Eleusis; differently, cp. also the elaborate sacrifice to Zeus Horios in the calendar of Phyxa on the 20th of Artamitios (Spring), CGRN 146, lines 13-14. Mikalson (p. 73-74) collects evidence for meetings of the ekklesia on this day, which likely precludes a state festival (since political activities were normally suspended on state festival days).

Lines Α23-36 + Γ31-37 + Ε31-46 (Gamelion 7-8): Though it is not completely certain, it may be hypothesised that these two days go together, apparently forming a local festival of Apollo at Erchia, perhaps a version of the Pythia. The 7th day of the month was of course widely reckoned to be a special day for Apollo: see CGRN 6 (Miletos), Commentary at lines 12-13, and Mikalson, p. 19. Two principal sacrifices take place on the seventh: one to Apollo Delphinios in his sanctuary at Erchia, preceded by a preliminary offering to Kourotrophos (Α23-30); another, to Apollo Lykeios, presumably in the sanctuary of that god at Erchia (Ε31-38). The offering in the latter case is παρ[α]δόσιμος to the Pythaistai: this presumably means that the animal, in this case a wether, could be ‘handed over’ for the performance of the sacrificial ritual by the cultic group in question; they (rather than a priest or a deme official) would thus have full responsibility and privileges for the rite (a wether goat on the 4th of Thargelion is to be "handed over" to the Pythaistai as well; cp. also two offerings on the 16th of Elaphebolion, which are to be "handed over" to women; see Commentary below ad loc.). Are the Pythaistai here a local cult group at Erchia or part of the official Athenian delegation for the Delphic Pythia? The former would seem more likely, though we cannot be sure. For Delphinia sanctuaries in the Attic demes, cp. here CGRN 32 (Thorikos), lines 6, 11, 63-64. As mentioned, it is attractive to relate the events of the 7th with those of the 8th, which also include sacrifices to Apollo: to Apollo Apotropaios at the boundaries of the deme towards Paiania (Α31-36) ; another to Apollo Apotropaios at Erchia itself, again involving the agency of the Pythaistai (Γ31-37); and finally one to Apollo Nymphagetes (and the Nymphs on the same altar), again at Erchia (Ε39-46). For Apollo Apotropaios ("Averter"), cf. here CGRN 99 (Cyrene), line 6, where rites to the god are similarly directed "outside the gates": a near-parallel for the boundaries with Paiania in this case. It is also intriguing that the rites to Apollo Apotropaios seem to preface (and thus perhaps to be related with) the festival of the Herosouria (see immediately below). For the Nymphs, and especially Apollo Nymphagetes in his capacity as "leader of the Nymphs", cp. here CGRN 17 (Thasos) as well as CGRN 56 (Marathonian Tetrapolis), col. I, line 45.

Lines Β26-31 (Gamelion 9): This entry contains one of the only festivals explicitly named in the calendar: the Erosouria or Herosouria. It is unclear if this occasion was in some way announced or prefigured by the celebrations for Apollo on 7-8 Gamelion (see above). At any rate, the occasion involved the sacrifice of a female lamb to Athena on the acropolis at Erchia (apparently a different general location than the "Akros" or acropolis of Erchia, see above on the 21st of Hekatombaion). Little is known about the festival of the Herosouria itself, or what this word might really mean; see Parker p. 68 and 470 for further discussion (for a festival with a compound name of this sort, cp. the Ἡροφάνεια attested at Megara, IG VII 48 (2nd century BC).

Lines Β32-39 + Γ38-41 + Δ28-33 (Gamelion 27): These rites have been convincingly identified as the celebration of the Theogamia or Hieros Gamos in Athens. At Erchia, this involved sacrifices to Zeus Teleios, to Poseidon, to Kourotrophos, and to Hera herself, all taking place in the sanctuary of this goddess. For the sources, see Salviat, Mikalson (p. 107), and Parker (p. 76 and 474); cp. here CGRN 21, lines 20-23, and CGRN 32 (Thorikos), line 32.

Lines Γ42-47 (Anthesterion 2): Nothing is known about this sacrifice to Dionysus, taking place at Erchia itself. For the kid "with budding horns" or of an even younger age (προ-πτόρθιον) offered to the god, cf. here esp. CGRN 21, lines 12-13, and also CGRN 26, Face A, line 18.

Lines Α37-43 (Anthesterion 23): This is one of the other few cases where a festival is specifically mentioned in the calendar, namely the Diasia (as specified here rather than specific date, uniquely). This was a festival of Zeus Meilichios taking place in Agrai, and the calendar of Erchia confirms the participation of the deme in this wider ritual; for the similar involvement of Thorikos, see CGRN 32, lines 34-35. The ritual is to be wineless "until the viscera", i.e. until the viscera are being roasted after part of the butchery of the sacrificial animal. In other words, libations could only be performed after the phase of the ritual concerned with the viscera. For the sources and further discussion concerning the Diasia, see Mikalson (p. 117) and Parker (p. 74-77 and 466).

Lines Α44-51 + Δ33-40 (Elaphebolion 16): Sacrifices to Dionysus and Semele, in the sanctuary of Dionysus, are in evidence on this day. Both are apparently to be performed by women, who receive the sacrificial animals in question as ritual agents. For the role of women in Greek cult, see CGRN 33 (Elateia), Commentary; for women’s roles in Dionysiac cult, see here CGRN 138 (Miletos); for rites to Dionysus and Semele, cp. CGRN 156 (Mykonos), lines 22-24. As Mikalson notes (p. 129-130), there may be some form of connection with the City Dionysia, which took place from the 10th of Elaphebolion, perhaps until the 16th.

Lines Β40-44 (Mounychion 4): This is the single attestation to a sacrifice on this day, in honour of the Herakleidai. For a possible connection with monthly rites in honour of Heracles (but also Hermes, Aphrodite, and Eros), see Mikalson, p. 138-139. For the Herakleidai honoured almost contemporaneously in Elaphebolion at Thorikos, see CGRN 32, lines 36-39, with further discussion; this may thus have been a celebration of the heroes that was widely (albeit flexibly, with respect to the precise date) celebrated in the Attic demes.

Lines Γ48-53 (Mounychion 20): Rites for Leukaspis (a hero of "the white shield", cf. LSJ s.v.) are otherwise unknown. It is unclear if this sacrifice is to be related to the 19th of Mounychion (the Olympieia?, cf. Mikalson, p. 145-146) or to the following day at Erchia (see below).

Lines Δ41-46 (Mounychion 21): A wineless sacrifice to the Tritopatres (literally, "great-grandfathers") is attested at Erchia on this specific occasion; for these gods, a form of worship devoted to ancestors or heroic deceased, cf. here CGRN 13 (Selinous), Face A, lines 9-16; CGRN 20 (Athens), Face B, lines 8-10; and esp. CGRN 56, col. II, lines 32 and 53, where sacrifices to these gods in the Marathonian Tetrapolis take place in the month Skirophorion.

Lines Α52-56 + Β45-54 + Γ54-58 + Δ47-52 + Ε47-58 (Thargelion 4): This combination of sacrifices, one of the only two specified in all of the columns of the calendar, no doubt again represents a major event at Erchia. In terms of location, however, the rites are a bit dispersed: Leto is honoured in the Pythion and Apollo Pythios also (the offering in this case is again to be handed over to the Pythaistai, see above on 7-8 Gamelion); Apollo Paion and Zeus are both honoured on the Pagos; the Anakes are honoured at Erchia in an unspecified location; finally, Hermes is the recipient of an unusually detailed sacrifice of a ram on the agora at Erchia. In this case, it is explicitly said that the herald is to officiate and to obtain portions "just like the demarch". Given this diversity, it remains difficult to evaluate the character of this festival at Erchia. For Hermes on the 4th day of the month, see Mikalson (p. 26-18 and 152).

Lines Ε59-64 (Thargelion 16): A lamb, probably male if we accept the restoration of the male adjective (νηφάλιος), was to be conveyed to Mount Hymettus in order to be sacrificed to Zeus Epakrios on this day. For the cult of Zeus on Mount Hymettus, see Langdon (with Hsch. and EM s.v. Epakrios, among other).

Lines Δ52-55 (Thargelion 19): Remarkably, this entry attests to the worship of a figure called Menedeios on this day. The occasion is known to have been that of the Bendideia in Athens (for the sources, see Mikalson, p. 158; Parker, p. 463). According to the brilliant hypothesis of Jameson, the two celebrations are clearly to be related: as he writes (p. 158-159), "the name of the Thracian goddess and its derivatives were sometimes spelt with an initial M [...] an epithet derived from the goddess’s name, applied to a male associate, would be Βενδίδειος or Μενδίδειος. But Mene- and not Mendi- is a common first element in Greek names [...] it is possible that Menedeios here is the Hellenized version of the male paredros of the Thracian goddess—Bendis/Mendis: Mendideios > Menedeios". What exactly was the role of the apparent hero Menedeios in the context of this festival and its celebration at Erchia itself remains to be clarified. For the cult of the Thracian goddess Bendis in Athens, see also here CGRN 44.

Lines Α57-65 + Β55-59 + Γ59-64 + Δ56-60 (Skirophorion 3): Jameson convincingly associates these sacrifices with those of the Arrhephoria in Athens. Indeed, the calendar of Erchia presents us with a sacrifice to Athena Polias in the city (preceded by an offering to Kourotrophos), together with sacrifices to Poseidon, Zeus Polieus and Aglauros in the same location. As Mikalson (p. 166-167) notes, discussing the sources, this convergence "suggests strongly" that the state festival then took place on the same date; on the Arrhephoria, see also Parker (p. 68 n. 69, p. 221-222 and 461) and cf. the probably parallel passage from the state calendar, CGRN 45, Face A, fr. 3, col. 1, lines 19-28. For the female sheep "instead of an ox" (or, more probably, a cow) offered to Athena Polias, note already the term present in S. fr. 405 (Meleager): ἀντίβοιον, which is glossed by Hsch. s.v. as ἰσόβοιον. The offering was meant as a substitute, not of equal value, but of equal significance as a bovine.

Lines Γ65-66 (Skirophorion 16): The sacrifice on this date is missing and cannot be restored. Mikalson (p. 172) provides ample evidence for political meetings in Athens on this date, probably precluding a major civic festival. It is therefore likely that the event was a local one.

Lines Ε65-66 (Skirophorion [?]): The date here is missing, but it is probable that the occasion was related to the rites attested on the 3rd or the 16th of Skirophorion, which are described in the other columns. Indeed, Dow went as far as to suggest restoring it as [τρίτει] | [ἱσταμένο], a date upon which Jameson would reconstruct a sacrifice to [Pandrosos], sister of Aglauros and jointly honoured in cult—Aglauros herself received an offering on the 3rd of Skirophorion (cf. above), presumably during the Arrhephoria.

						<head>Commentary</head>    
						
<p>This publication of the deme calendar has been devised essentially as a financial document. The price of offerings is carefully tabulated in order to facilitate accounting. A series of columns, five in total—clearly numbered and prefixed by the Greek letter Α-Ε—has been conceived in order to make the expenditure for the whole annual cycle of sacrifices divisible by that number. That is, each individual column treats the whole year chronologically, but when multiple significant sacrifices occur on the same day in the year, such sacrifices are occasionally divided over the five columns. The resulting sum per column is ca. 110 drachmae (col. Α = 111 dr.; Β = 108 dr.; Γ = 103 dr., with probably one sacrifice missing; Δ = 110 dr.; Ε has a lower total of 89 dr. but is missing the whole of the month of Skirophorion). The general total is uncertain, but would probably have been around 550 dr. To understand the ritual requirements on a particular day, one would thus have to consult all five columns. It may justifiably be presumed, then, that the primary objective of this method of dividing into five columns with more or less equal amounts was to make the sums manageable and payable by a body of deme officials (perhaps those holding the rank of δημαρχία, see below). In addition, the prices of animals offered are standardised: adult sheep and goats of 12 dr. (the most expensive offering in this calendar) are typically (but not exclusively) offered to male gods, while the same animals costing 10 dr. are usually (but not exclusively) offered to goddesses; we may thus infer that an ὄϊς and an αἴξ costing 12 dr. refer to a wether and a wether goat, while female incarnations of these animals appear to only cost 10 dr. The only case in the calendar where the sex of adult sheep or goat is explicitly mentioned appears in column Ε, where a κριός, a ram, is sacrificed to Hermes on the 4th of Thargelion; i.e. this was an uncastrated male sheep, by comparison with all the others in the calendar who were not ἔνορχοι. Other prices occasionally feature in the calendar: 7 dr. is the price for lambs (their sex is evident from the grammatical form); a kid (young male goat) occurs only once and is worth 5 dr.; least expensive are the piglets, 3 dr., whose gender can less certainly be determined. On the whole, the offerings are modest and the total amount at play equally so.</p>
						
<p>All of this is not to say that the inscription did not retain its primary function as a calendar. Though the stele is quite small and the letters minute, various reading tools (see also above on the layout) have been provided to ensure that it could be adequately and chronologically consulted. Each date is easily identifiable, occurring at the beginning of a given line (and thus never segmented as some of the other words in the columns can be). Ritual accuracy and the integrity of the document remained a primordial concern: cf. e.g. the added corrections in lines Β44, 59, and Ε38; all are concerned with a prohibition against take-away portions. For such prohibitions, see here <ref target="CGRN_13">CGRN 13</ref> (Selinous), Face A, line 20, and <ref target="http://cgrn.ulg.ac.be/CGRN_32">CGRN 32</ref> (Thorikos), with Commentary on lines 10-12.</p>
						
<p>Though the calendar is more or less completely extant (one sacrifice is missing in Column Γ and the whole of the last month, Skirophorion is missing in Column Ε) and provides a wealth of information concerning the practices of the deme. Further helpful information concerning Erchia and its rites has yet to be found, and it remains unclear what the header of the whole inscription, "The Greater Demarchy" (line 2), really means. Daux suggested that this was a sort of title: “liste principale des sacrifices à célébrer sous l’autorité de la Démarchie”. Humphreys, more suitably, opts to imagine a group of five annual magistrates appointed with executive and liturgical powers. Note indeed lines Ε48-59 of the calendar, where the herald is to obtain γέρα "just as the demarch does", thus implying that the demarch normally received perquisites, which implicitly confirms the expected role of this official as a sacrificial agent. Other indications of such an important role for the demarch are the only occasional mentions of other priestly personnel. For deme calendars in Attica, their focus on accounting, and the role of deme officials such as demarchs within them, see here <ref target="http://cgrn.ulg.ac.be/CGRN_32">CGRN 32</ref> (Thorikos) and <ref target="http://cgrn.ulg.ac.be/CGRN_56">CGRN 56</ref> (Marathonian Tetrapolis); cp. also <ref target="http://cgrn.ulg.ac.be/CGRN_57">CGRN 57</ref> (Aixone).</p> 
						
<p>On the whole, the calendar reveals how certain rites at Erchia closely matched those taking place in the city (ἐν ἄστε(ι), cf. Δ17) of Athens, usually on the Acropolis itself (ἐμ πόλε(ι)—often without further qualification), and at the same time; in fact, some are especially said to occur in specific places at Erchia during major festivals, for instance on its own acropolis (ἐμ πόλε(ι) Ἐρχιᾶσι vel sim.); see Commentary below for a discussion of many instances. Yet the picture is very much that of small community, whose annual sacrificial budget was not very big (about 550 dr.), and which does not sacrifice at all during the cold winter month, roughly the period of November to January: the month Maimakterion is not mentioned and its successor Poseideon only once (lines Ε22-30). The small scale is also perceptible in the fact no oxen are sacrificed and on one occasion a substitute for an expected ox is even envisaged (οἶς ἀν|[τ]ίβους, lines Α64-65). Other rites took place in a variety of locations across the deme, not all of them have been conclusively identified (e.g. the frequently occurring sacrifices ἐμ Πάγωι Ἐρχιᾶσιν, perhaps a nearby hill?).</p>
						
<p>Additionally, a few features of the calendar are worth noting. First, the goddess Kourotrophos often receives sacrifices of piglets in the sanctuary of other goddesses, presumably as preliminary offerings for larger sacrifices, see Pirenne-Delforge 2004; second, wineless offerings are occasionally mentioned, see Pirenne-Delforge 2011. Beyond these few general remarks, we opt here to discuss the text in its cross-referenced chronology and simultaneity, i.e. date by date, all the while indicating the relevant lines in each of the columns—rather than discussing each column item by item.</p>
						
<p>Lines Γ1-12 + Δ1-12 (Hekatombaion 21): As Mikalson notes, the occasion is unknown outside of Erchia and appears to be a small sacrifice specific to the deme. Two sets of sacrifices are performed, each consisting of a preliminary sacrifice for Kourotrophos and then a main sacrifice to Artemis respectively: one in a place, perhaps a sanctuary, said to be of the Sotidai at Erchia; the other on the hill or promontory called Akros at Erchia (this was apparently a different place from the location called ἐμ πόλει Ἐρχιᾶσι, which ought to refer to the acropolis of the deme proper). The group of the Sotidai is unknown and may have been a phratry or another local association. In both sacrifices to Artemis, the skin is not offered as a perquisite (cp. e.g. lines Ε1-8, and as is highly common elsewhere) but rather burned, καταγίζεσθαι; for this ritual, cp. here <ref target="CGRN_13">CGRN 13</ref> (Selinous), Face A, line 12.</p>					
						
<p>Lines Α1-5 + Β1-6 + Γ13-18 + Δ13-17 (Metageitnion 12): This appears to be an important date, since four simultaneous sacrifices are specified in four different columns. As Mikalson notes, since the sacrifice to Apollo Lykeios in column Α occurs in the city, that to Demeter in column Β at Eleusis and those to Zeus Polieus and Athena Polias in columns Γ and Δ on the Acropolis (in Athens), this might suggest that the reference is to a state festival; however, the occasion is otherwise unknown in Attica. A connection with preliminary rites for the Eleusinia might tentatively be suggested (on which see Mikalson, p. 46, though the date of this festival is controversial) or, perhaps more likely, with a state festival which may fall on the same date (though that remains uncertain), at <ref target="CGRN_45">CGRN 45</ref>, Face A, fr. 2.</p>

<p>Lines Β7-13 (Metageitnion 16): The sacrifice to Kourotrophos and Artemis Hekate in the sanctuary of that goddess is otherwise unattested and the occasion occurs only here in the calendar. The sanctuary was at Erchia and thus the sacrifice may be presumed to be strictly local. For Artemis Hekate at Athens, cf. <bibl type="abbr" n="IG I³">IG I³</bibl> 383 (429/8 BC, there associated with Hermes); the goddess was invoked in connection with parturition in Aesch. <title>Suppl.</title> 676-677, more usually the domain of Ilithyia; on the connection of Artemis with childbirth, cf. also Eur. <title>Hipp.</title> 166-169; Hekate sometimes received the epithet <foreign>kourotrophos</foreign>. </p>
						
<p>Lines Ε1-8 (Metageitnion 19): A sacrifice to Heroines at a place called Schoinos ("the place of  the reeds/rushes") in Erchia is mentioned here. The occasion is to be related with the sacrifice on the 20th of Metageitnion (below) but at any rate it appears to be local. </p>
						
<p>Lines Α6-13 (Metageitnion 20): At Erchia itself, we find here a specific and presumably local sacrifice to Hera Thelchinia ("who charms"). The epithet is rare, but Hsch. s.v. preserves a mention of the goddess in Athens and she is attested by a 4th-century-BC boundary from Velia, cf. <bibl type="abbr" n="SEG">SEG</bibl> 26, 1211 (see Pirenne-Delforge - Pironti, p. 192-194, 232-233). The colour of the lamb to be offered to the goddess is specified as being "all-black", presumably a term employed to make sure that the animal did not even have a single spot or lighter tone. This stringent requirement is not attested elsewhere in the present Collection, where we find more flexibly defined "dark" animals, cf. <ref target="CGRN_32">CGRN 32</ref> (Thorikos), lines 33-34 and 45-46, "dark or tawny" goats for Dionysus. It is striking that the animal is given in the accusative here, whereas all the other offerings are presented in the nominative, and that a form of ἀρήν is used, whereas all the other female lambs are designated by the term ἀμνή.</p>
						
<p>Lines Γ19-25 (Metageitnion 25): The occasion is otherwise unknown, but featured the holocaust of a piglet to Zeus Epopetes ("who watches over") at Erchia. The god is also attested in Attica by a small altar of Zeus Epopetes Nephalios, confirming that the god was expected to receive wineless offerings, cf. Papazarkadas. For the similar Zeus ᾿Επόπτης and ᾿Επόψιος, cf. Hsch. s.v. for the idea of Zeus "watching over", cp. more generally A. <title>Supp.</title> 402 and E. <title>Hipp.</title> 1363. In Greek literature, the notion that gods (should) watch over humans often implies that they also (should) act in consequence: the verb ὁράω is sometimes used in questions to gods ("do you see this?") or in admonitions ("look at this!"), both with an illocutionary force ("do something about it"). On holocausts, see Ekroth.</p>
						
<p>Lines Β14-20 (Boedromion 4): A holocaust of a white female lamb for Basile is prescribed on this day. The goddess was associated with Kodros and Neleus in a sanctuary on the southeast slope of the Acropolis, cf. <bibl type="abbr" n="IG I³">IG I³</bibl> 84 (418/7 BC); of her local worship at Erchia, little is known. For white animals, see here: <ref target="CGRN_6">CGRN 6</ref>, lines 6-7 (a pregnant white female sheep to Hera Antheia at Miletos, mated by an also white ram) and <ref target="CGRN_14">CGRN 14</ref>, lines 2-3 (a white female sheep, probably for Hera at Gortyn). Given the association with Hera, a goddess occasionally known as Basileia (cf. Pirenne-Delforge - Pironti, chapter 2) the offering may seem particularly suitable for divine figure known as "Queen".</p>
						
<p>Lines Δ18-23 + Ε9-15 (Boedromion 5): This date is known as the civic festival of the Genesia, held in honour of dead parents, in Athens: see Mikalson, p. 49-50; Parker, p. 27-28. It would seem that ancestral heroes may have been worshipped in the context of this festival. Here, at Erchia this was the figure of Epops ("Overlooker", cp. Zeus Epopetes above, lines Γ19-25), while the same festival at Athens, not mentioned here, probably focused on Erechtheus, see the sacrificial calendar of Athens, <ref target="CGRN_45">CGRN 45</ref>, Face A, fr. 1, col. 3. The two entries preserved in the calendar of Erchia are intriguing and potentially problematic, because they are virtually identical: both attest to the wineless holocaust of a piglet in the sanctuary of the god at Erchia itself. Either two piglets were offered simultaneously (but accounted for differently and perhaps sacrificed by different magistrates) or perhaps—though less likely—an error has crept into the calendar (viz. one sacrifice may then have taken place in Athens and the other one in Erchia).</p>
						
<p>Lines Α12-16 + Β21-25 + Γ26-30 + Δ24-27 + Ε16-21 (Boedromion 27): Mentions of this sacrificial occasion are spread over all five columns of the calendar. Regrettably, nothing else is known about it, but it must clearly have been an important local festival. Intriguingly, sacrifices to Athena and Zeus are known to have taken place at Teithras on this day: <ref target="CGRN_55">CGRN 55</ref>, Face A, lines 7-12. This might suggest that we are dealing with a festival belonging to several Attic demes, though the gods honoured at Erchia (all on the Pagos) are of a different sort: the Nymphs, Acheloos, Alochos, Hermes, and Ge. Note, however, that Ge may fit particularly well with the Proerosia, which was celebrated in other demes around this time (the Autumn; the other gods also have a strong connection with the natural world, though admittedly less so with agriculture). For the Nymphs and Acheloos, <ref target="CGRN_26">CGRN 26</ref> (Athens), Face 1, line 19. The name Alochos ("Unbedded") could be used of the virginal Artemis, cf. Pl. <title>Tht.</title> 149b, but it could also mean the "Wife" (cf. Pirenne-Delforge - Pironti, p. 191, n. 451). For the sacrifice of pregnant animals to Ge and other goddesses, especially Demeter, see here for example <ref target="http://cgrn.ulg.ac.be/CGRN_32/">CGRN 32</ref> (Thorikos, notably in connection with the Chloia and the Antheia), lines 38-39 and 43-44, <ref target="CGRN_156">CGRN 156</ref> (Mykonos), lines 11-12, and <ref target="http://cgrn.ulg.ac.be/CGRN_222/">CGRN 222</ref> (Andania), lines 33 and 68; for further discussion, see Georgoudi and Bremmer.</p>
						
<p>Lines Α17-22 (Pyanopsion 14): Little is known about this specific rite, an apparently small sacrifice to the Heroines which takes place at Aulon in Erchia; according to Takeuchi's reading this should be literally a place meaning a "hollow" or a "glen" (not πυλών, as the earlier reading had it, implying a gate).</p>
						
<p>Lines Ε22-30 (Posideon 16): There is no other evidence for this sacrifice to Zeus at Erchia, but it appears to have involved at least two different manifestations: one at Petre (i.e. a rock) in Erchia, another to Zeus Horios, presumably in his local sanctuary. On Zeus Horios ("of the boundary"), see generally Pl. <title>Leg.</title> 8.842e-843a; for the Attic demes, cf. the sacrifice of a wether to this god in Skirophorion at <ref target="CGRN_56">CGRN 56</ref> (Marathonian Tetrapolis), col. I, line 11, and see <bibl type="abbr" n="I.Eleusis">I.Eleusis</bibl> 300 for a priest of the god (with Athena Horia) at Eleusis; differently, cp. also the elaborate sacrifice to Zeus Horios in the calendar of Phyxa on the 20th of Artamitios (Spring), <ref target="CGRN_146">CGRN 146</ref>, lines 13-14. Mikalson (p. 73-74) collects evidence for meetings of the <foreign>ekklesia</foreign> on this day, which likely precludes a state festival (since political activities were normally suspended on state festival days).</p>
						
<p>Lines Α23-36 +  Γ31-37 + Ε31-46  (Gamelion 7-8): Though it is not completely certain, it may be hypothesised that these two days go together, apparently forming a local festival of Apollo at Erchia, perhaps a version of the Pythia. The 7th day of the month was of course widely reckoned to be a special day for Apollo: see <ref target="CGRN_6">CGRN 6</ref> (Miletos), Commentary at lines 12-13, and Mikalson, p. 19. Two principal sacrifices take place on the seventh: one to Apollo Delphinios in his sanctuary at Erchia, preceded by a preliminary offering to Kourotrophos (Α23-30); another, to Apollo Lykeios, presumably in the sanctuary of that god at Erchia (Ε31-38). The offering in the latter case is παρ[α]δόσιμος to the Pythaistai: this presumably means that the animal, in this case a wether, could be ‘handed over’ for the performance of the sacrificial ritual by the cultic group in question; they (rather than a priest or a deme official) would thus have full responsibility and privileges for the rite (a wether goat on the 4th of Thargelion is to be "handed over" to the Pythaistai as well; cp. also two offerings on the 16th of Elaphebolion, which are to be "handed over" to women; see Commentary below ad loc.). Are the Pythaistai here a local cult group at Erchia or part of the official Athenian delegation for the Delphic Pythia? The former would seem more likely, though we cannot be sure. For Delphinia sanctuaries in the Attic demes, cp. here <ref target="CGRN_32">CGRN 32</ref> (Thorikos), lines 6, 11, 63-64. As mentioned, it is attractive to relate the events of the 7th with those of the 8th, which also include sacrifices to Apollo: to Apollo Apotropaios at the boundaries of the deme towards Paiania (Α31-36) ; another to Apollo Apotropaios at Erchia itself, again involving the agency of the Pythaistai (Γ31-37); and finally one to Apollo Nymphagetes (and the Nymphs on the same altar), again at Erchia (Ε39-46). For Apollo Apotropaios ("Averter"), cf. here <ref target="CGRN_99">CGRN 99</ref> (Cyrene), line 6, where rites to the god are similarly directed "outside the gates": a near-parallel for the boundaries with Paiania in this case. It is also intriguing that the rites to Apollo Apotropaios seem to preface (and thus perhaps to be related with) the festival of the Herosouria (see immediately below). For the Nymphs, and especially Apollo Nymphagetes in his capacity as "leader of the Nymphs", cp. here <ref target="CGRN_17">CGRN 17</ref> (Thasos) as well as <ref target="http://cgrn.ulg.ac.be/CGRN_56">CGRN 56</ref> (Marathonian Tetrapolis), col. I, line 45.</p> 
						
<p>Lines Β26-31 (Gamelion 9): This entry contains one of the only festivals explicitly named in the calendar: the Erosouria or Herosouria. It is unclear if this occasion was in some way announced or prefigured by the celebrations for Apollo on 7-8 Gamelion (see above). At any rate, the occasion involved the sacrifice of a female lamb to Athena on the acropolis at Erchia (apparently a different general location than the "Akros" or acropolis of Erchia, see above on the 21st of Hekatombaion). Little is known about the festival of the Herosouria itself, or what this word might really mean; see Parker p. 68 and 470 for further discussion (for a festival with a compound name of this sort, cp. the Ἡροφάνεια attested at Megara, <bibl type="abbr" n="IG VII">IG VII</bibl> 48 (2nd century BC).</p>
						
<p>Lines Β32-39 + Γ38-41 + Δ28-33 (Gamelion 27): These rites have been convincingly identified as the celebration of the Theogamia or Hieros Gamos in Athens. At Erchia, this involved sacrifices to Zeus Teleios, to Poseidon, to Kourotrophos, and to Hera herself, all taking place in the sanctuary of this goddess. For the sources, see Salviat, Mikalson (p. 107), and Parker (p. 76 and 474); cp. here <ref target="CGRN_21">CGRN 21</ref>, lines 20-23, and <ref target="CGRN_32">CGRN 32</ref> (Thorikos), line 32.</p>
						
<p>Lines Γ42-47 (Anthesterion 2): Nothing is known about this sacrifice to Dionysus, taking place at Erchia itself. For the kid "with budding horns" or of an even younger age (προ-πτόρθιον) offered to the god, cf. here esp. <ref target="CGRN_21">CGRN 21</ref>, lines 12-13, and also <ref target="CGRN_26">CGRN 26</ref>, Face A, line 18.</p>
						
<p>Lines Α37-43 (Anthesterion 23): This is one of the other few cases where a festival is specifically mentioned in the calendar, namely the Diasia (as specified here rather than specific date, uniquely). This was a festival of Zeus Meilichios taking place in Agrai, and the calendar of Erchia confirms the participation of the deme in this wider ritual; for the similar involvement of Thorikos, see <ref target="CGRN_32">CGRN 32</ref>, lines 34-35. The ritual is to be wineless "until the viscera", i.e. until the viscera are being roasted after part of the butchery of the sacrificial animal. In other words, libations could only be performed after the phase of the ritual concerned with the viscera. For the sources and further discussion concerning the Diasia, see Mikalson (p. 117) and Parker (p. 74-77 and 466).</p>
						
<p>Lines Α44-51 + Δ33-40 (Elaphebolion 16): Sacrifices to Dionysus and Semele, in the sanctuary of Dionysus, are in evidence on this day. Both are apparently to be performed by women, who receive the sacrificial animals in question as ritual agents. For the role of women in Greek cult, see <ref target="CGRN_33">CGRN 33</ref> (Elateia), Commentary; for women’s roles in Dionysiac cult, see here <ref target="CGRN_138">CGRN 138</ref> (Miletos); for rites to Dionysus and Semele, cp. <ref target="CGRN_156">CGRN 156</ref> (Mykonos), lines 22-24. As Mikalson notes (p. 129-130), there may be some form of connection with the City Dionysia, which took place from the 10th of Elaphebolion, perhaps until the 16th.</p>
						
<p>Lines Β40-44 (Mounychion 4): This is the single attestation to a sacrifice on this day, in honour of the Herakleidai. For a possible connection with monthly rites in honour of Heracles (but also Hermes, Aphrodite, and Eros), see Mikalson, p. 138-139. For the Herakleidai honoured almost contemporaneously in Elaphebolion at Thorikos, see <ref target="CGRN_32">CGRN 32</ref>, lines 36-39, with further discussion; this may thus have been a celebration of the heroes that was widely (albeit flexibly, with respect to the precise date) celebrated in the Attic demes.</p>
						
<p>Lines Γ48-53 (Mounychion 20): Rites for Leukaspis (a hero of "the white shield", cf. <bibl type="abbr" n="LSJ">LSJ</bibl> s.v.) are otherwise unknown. It is unclear if this sacrifice is to be related to the 19th of Mounychion (the Olympieia?, cf. Mikalson, p. 145-146) or to the following day at Erchia (see below).</p>
						
<p>Lines Δ41-46 (Mounychion 21): A wineless sacrifice to the Tritopatres (literally, "great-grandfathers") is attested at Erchia on this specific occasion; for these gods, a form of worship devoted to ancestors or heroic deceased, cf. here <ref target="CGRN_13">CGRN 13</ref> (Selinous), Face A, lines 9-16; <ref target="CGRN_20">CGRN 20</ref> (Athens), Face B, lines 8-10; and esp. <ref target="CGRN_56">CGRN 56</ref>, col. II, lines 32 and 53, where sacrifices to these gods in the Marathonian Tetrapolis take place in the month Skirophorion.</p>
						
<p>Lines Α52-56 + Β45-54 + Γ54-58 + Δ47-52 + Ε47-58 (Thargelion 4): This combination of sacrifices, one of the only two specified in all of the columns of the calendar, no doubt again represents a major event at Erchia. In terms of location, however, the rites are a bit dispersed: Leto is honoured in the Pythion and Apollo Pythios also (the offering in this case is again to be handed over to the Pythaistai, see above on 7-8 Gamelion); Apollo Paion and Zeus are both honoured on the Pagos; the Anakes are honoured at Erchia in an unspecified location; finally, Hermes is the recipient of an unusually detailed sacrifice of a ram on the agora at Erchia. In this case, it is explicitly said that the herald is to officiate and to obtain portions "just like the demarch". Given this diversity, it remains difficult to evaluate the character of this festival at Erchia. For Hermes on the 4th day of the month, see Mikalson (p. 26-18 and 152).</p>
						
<p>Lines Ε59-64 (Thargelion 16): A lamb, probably male if we accept the restoration of the male adjective (νηφάλιος), was to be conveyed to Mount Hymettus in order to be sacrificed to Zeus Epakrios on this day. For the cult of Zeus on Mount Hymettus, see Langdon (with Hsch. and <title>EM</title> s.v. Epakrios, among other).</p>
						
<p>Lines Δ52-55 (Thargelion 19): Remarkably, this entry attests to the worship of a figure called Menedeios on this day. The occasion is known to have been that of the Bendideia in Athens (for the sources, see Mikalson, p. 158; Parker, p. 463). According to the brilliant hypothesis of Jameson, the two celebrations are clearly to be related: as he writes (p. 158-159), "the name of the Thracian goddess and its derivatives were sometimes spelt with an initial M [...] an epithet derived from the goddess’s name, applied to a male associate, would be Βενδίδειος or Μενδίδειος. But Mene- and not Mendi- is a common first element in Greek names [...] it is possible that Menedeios here is the Hellenized version of the male <foreign>paredros</foreign> of the Thracian goddess—Bendis/Mendis: Mendideios > Menedeios". What exactly was the role of the apparent hero Menedeios in the context of this festival and its celebration at Erchia itself remains to be clarified. For the cult of the Thracian goddess Bendis in Athens, see also here <ref target="CGRN_44">CGRN 44</ref>.</p>
						
<p>Lines Α57-65 + Β55-59 + Γ59-64 + Δ56-60 (Skirophorion 3): Jameson convincingly associates these sacrifices with those of the Arrhephoria in Athens. Indeed, the calendar of Erchia presents us with a sacrifice to Athena Polias in the city (preceded by an offering to Kourotrophos), together with sacrifices to Poseidon, Zeus Polieus and Aglauros in the same location. As Mikalson (p. 166-167) notes, discussing the sources, this convergence "suggests strongly" that the state festival then took place on the same date; on the Arrhephoria, see also Parker (p. 68 n. 69, p. 221-222 and 461) and cf. the probably parallel passage from the state calendar, <ref target="CGRN 45">CGRN 45</ref>, Face A, fr. 3, col. 1, lines 19-28. For the female sheep "instead of an ox" (or, more probably, a cow) offered to Athena Polias, note already the term present in S. fr. 405 (Meleager): ἀντίβοιον, which is glossed by Hsch. s.v. as ἰσόβοιον. The offering was meant as a substitute, not of equal value, but of equal significance as a bovine.</p>
						
<p>Lines Γ65-66 (Skirophorion 16): The sacrifice on this date is missing and cannot be restored. Mikalson (p. 172) provides ample evidence for political meetings in Athens on this date, probably precluding a major civic festival. It is therefore likely that the event was a local one.</p>
						
<p>Lines Ε65-66 (Skirophorion [?]): The date here is missing, but it is probable that the occasion was related to the rites attested on the 3rd or the 16th of Skirophorion, which are described in the other columns. Indeed, Dow went as far as to suggest restoring it as [τρίτει] | [ἱσταμένο], a date upon which Jameson would reconstruct a sacrifice to [Pandrosos], sister of Aglauros and jointly honoured in cult—Aglauros herself received an offering on the 3rd of Skirophorion (cf. above), presumably during the Arrhephoria.</p>
