<head>Commentary</head>
<p>It has long been proposed that the character of the group Labyadai known from this inscription and another partial, though much earlier copy at Delphi (cf. <bibl type="abbr" n="CID I">CID I</bibl> 9bis, ca. 500 BC, preserving only a part of lines D12-25), is to be interpreted as gentilicial; see Jacquemin et al., p. 67, for useful summary, and who rightly avoid applying a label to the group (such as phratry). For other groups with a patronymic ending, -δης or -δαι, cf. here the phratry of the Demotionidai, <ref target="CGRN_74">CGRN 74</ref>, or see the Klytidai of Chios, <ref target="CGRN_244">CGRN 244</ref>. Such groups, <foreign>gene</foreign> or the like, are indeed known to have collected documents relating to their official and cultic activities on a single stele, such as the cippus we have here from Delphi. Our knowledge about the Labyadai is expanding, though they nonetheless remain enigmatic and their precise role in the city of Delphi is still unclear. Recently, three rock-cut inscriptions were discovered at the fortified site of Panopeus/Phanoteus, on the large rocks forming the southern boundary of the upper city. The settlement of Panopeus/Phanoteus itself lies on the border between Phokis and Boiotia, next to the road travelling from the south (notably from Athens) to Delphi (see Rousset et al., p. 451, with n. 46). Published by a group of American and French scholars, the new inscriptions affirm the apparent link of the Labyadai with this site. One of the inscriptions is remarkably the same text (with a few variants) as the one quoted on the Delphic cippus reprised here, face D, lines 29-43 (see below on these lines for further discussion). This original rupestral inscription from the Late Archaic period (Rousset et al.: no. 1, late 6th century BC) may begin to reveal how the Labyadai constructed an aetiology for their privileges in the sanctuary of Delphi during the Classical period, by adding a copy of this inscription from Panopeus/Phanoteus to their dossier and claiming ancestral privileges from the hero Phanotos himself. Yet except from this older inscription and the present copy on the larger cippus and dossier of regulations at Delphi, the Labyadai are otherwise unattested and their evolution as a gentilicial group remains to be clarified. Another inscription found at the site (Rousset et al.: no. 2) in fact demonstrates that the inhabitants were known as Phanoteans, from this eponymous hero. Rousset al. (p.453) hypothesise that locating the activities of the group not only at Delphi, but also at Panopeus/Phanoteus on the route to Delphi has some implications, albeit ones that warrant further substantiating: the dossier of inscriptions together begin to paint a picture of cultic connections, specifically of "a precedent and a model for those who, coming from Phanoteus or passing by there, went on to Delphi by way of Athena Pronaia and Apollo Lykeios" (p. 453). It remains to be seen just how the Labyadai appropriated this link with Panopeus/Phanoteus, when on the surface we would have expected them to have had a stronger link with an eponym *Labys or *Labyas; another crux remains the question of how large and varied the dossier of the group was in ca. 500 BC (cf. again the very partial <bibl type="abbr" n="CID I">CID I</bibl> 9bis).</p>
<p>As we have it, the dossier of regulations of the Labyadai preserved on the cippus at Delphi is thus a composite document, formed from many sources. It contains reinscribed copies, for instance of the Panopeus/Phanoteus rupestral inscription, and perhaps other copies too, such as decrees and other documents belonging to the group. Face A is essentially concerned with the office of ταγός, apparently the chief magistrate of the group and appointed annually. As the fragmentary beginning of this side state, his official was to respect both the laws of the city of Delphi and the laws and customs of Labyadai; he was to swear an oath to Zeus Patroos (lines A13-18); there follows also a lengthy decree of the Labyadai which is concerned with the duties and responsabilities of the ταγός, which especially include the annual bringing and receiving of <foreign>apellaia</foreign> and <foreign>daratai</foreign>. For Apellai and the animal offerings called <foreign>apellaia</foreign>, see below; the <foreign>daratai</foreign> were apparently types of bread offered during the ceremonies of the group, see Rougemont, p. 45, and <bibl type="abbr">LSJ</bibl> s.v. δάρατος. Face B probably contains the continuation of this decree, discussing notably the (probably many) annual assemblies of the group, where these offerings known as <foreign>apellaia</foreign> and <foreign>daratai</foreign> would be brought, and where the number of those present could not be inferior to 101 (lines B4-10; this gives us an idea of the number of males in the group and its overall relative size); the remainder is taken up by lengthy sanctions against a ταγός that contravenes the rules, such as fines or even exclusion from the group. Included in the rules (lines B35-37) are also mentions of the rites for introducing new members: <foreign>paideia</foreign>, in the case of children (esp. sons), <foreign>gamela</foreign> in cases of marriage, both apparently subcategories of <foreign>daratai</foreign> (for the former, cp. again the regulations of the phratry of the Demotionidai at Athens, <ref target="CGRN_74">CGRN 74</ref>; for both, see also the regulations of the family of Diomedon on Kos, <ref target="CGRN_96">CGRN 96</ref>). It is likely that the decree continue even on the beginning of Face C, lines 1-19, where the juridical aspects of the office of the ταγός are discussed (as Jacquemin et al. note, the group may have had its own law-courts). The responsabilities of the other officials mentioned in connection with the group, known as the Fifteen and the <foreign>damiourgoi</foreign> (lines D19-22), are less clear.</p>
<p>The portion of face C included here, lines 19-52, is a self-standing section of the inscription, probably continuing to lines D 1-2. It is headed as a "Law concerning the offerings for the dead", i.e. concerning funerals and other funerary rites. We find Jacquemin et al.'s translation of the word ἐντόφια as "mobilier funéraire" rather reductive; cp. <bibl type="abbr" n="LSJ">LSJ</bibl> s.v. ἐντάφιος (2), who note that the adjective could be used as a neuter plural substantive to designate all manner of offerings for the dead or funerary rituals (i.e. τὰ ἐνταφία ἱερὰ). Indeed, though this law of the Labyadai does discuss the limited materials to be used in the funerary rites (lines C20-31), it is not exclusively a sumptuary law (as Jacquemin et al. also note, p. 66), since it goes on to treat the proper conduct necessary during the funerary procession (lines 31-39), as well as the rituals which may be undertaken for those who have long passed away (lines 39-50; this was apparently followed by sanctions and fines for transgressors in lines C50-52, continued on D1-2). Overall, the regulations in this law are marked by their strongly proscriptive character concerning norms of human behaviour. There is a perceptible intention not only to ensure modest burials for members of the group, but also to preserve decorum and to curb lamentations or excessive mourning (cf. e.g. ὀτοτύζειν or θρήνειν, lines C35, 41, and 49). For other funerary laws in the present Collection, cf. <ref target="CGRN_35">CGRN 35</ref> (Iulis) and <ref target="CGRN_108">CGRN 108</ref> (Gambreion); see generally Frisone.</p>
<p>Face D is the most subdivided facet of the dossier. After the concluding lines continuing from face C, a substantial section (lines D2-29) begins with the heading "The following are the customary (normative) feasts" of the Labyadai. What essentially follows (lines D3-17) is a list of all the occasions on which the Labyadai needed to gather, which appears to preserve a chronological order according to the calendar of Delphi (for a helpful overview, cf. esp. Rougemont, p. 58). Participation in these feasts or festivals seems to have been obligatory for all members, even if they wished to have their own individual sacrifices or even during special circumstances (lines D12-17); failure to comply with this enforced participation, also in assemblies of the group, resulted in a fine (lines 17-29). Another section of this face transcribes, according to its heading, "The inscription written at Phanoteus, on the rock, inside" (see above; and below, lines D29-43); to the copy of the inscription is appended a rule confirming or appropriating the privileges granted by it in favour of the Labyadai. Finally, a further section entitled "The sacrifices of the Labyadai" (lines D43-51) concludes the inscription, reprising some of the content of the first section on face D, but adding a few further precisions concerning the sacrifices undertaken by the group during festivals taking place at Delphi.</p>
<p>Face C</p>
<p>Lines C20-24 and 29-31: For the objects placed in the tomb and for the στρῶμα as a cloth placed underneath the corpse, see here <ref target="CGRN_35">CGRN 35</ref> (Iulis), lines 2-4. For the light-coloured or white cloths used in funerary rituals, see again the text from Iulis.</p>
<p>Lines C31-39: As noted above, the emphasis in the regulations here is strikingly on the silence (σιγᾶι) necessary during the funerary procession, until the tomb is reached. An interesting passage is lines 33-35, where it is stated that the bier for carrying the corpse may not be set down "on any of the bends" or "turns" of the road. In the general context of the regulation, this clause may have sought to prevent the participants from stopping anywhere along their path, thus leading to a corresponding loss of decorum, i.e. a possible occasion for lamentation. Alternatively or even additionally, the clause may be viewed as seeking to prevent the possible spread of <foreign>miasma</foreign> from the corpse within the wider community. For regulations concerning proper road access during funerals, see <bibl type="abbr" n="IC IV">IC IV</bibl> 46B (Gortyn), lines 6-14, and here <ref target="CGRN_108">CGRN 108</ref> (Gambreion), lines 13-17. The final clause in this passage contains two words or combinations of words (ΔΕΝΑΤΟΣ, ΘΙΓΑΝΑ) whose traces are difficult to interpret with any assurance: see Rougemont, p. 54-56, for a detailed discussion, listing the various proposals. For the latter word, ΘΙΓΑΝΑ, the most attractive proposal remains that of Reinach, who translates this phrase as "jusqu'à ce que le tumulus ait été amoncelé", i.e. "until the pile of earth has been added (onto the corpse)"; this would involve either correcting the word on the stone into θί(σ)ανα or, perhaps, the following lemmata of Hesychius into θί(γ)ανα: θίς· ἀναχώμα σωροειδές; θίσανα· χῶμα σωροειδές.</p>
<p>Lines C39-50: This passage concerns rites for the dead after the funeral has already taken place. For the close circle of kinship participating in funerary rites, cf. here <ref target="CGRN_35">CGRN 35</ref> (Iulis), lines 18-27, and cp. the apocryphal (but nonetheless plausible) law cited in [Dem.] 43.62-63. For commemorative rites following the funeral, subsequently occuring here on the next day, the tenth day, and other anniversaries, see again <ref target="CGRN_35">CGRN 35</ref> (Iulis), face B, and <ref target="CGRN_108">CGRN 108</ref> (Gambreion), lines 9-11 (there they must be accomplished within a deadline of three months).</p>
<p>Face D</p>
<p>Line D3: Apellaios is the first month of the calendar of Delphi and the Apellai, in honour of Apollo (cf. <bibl type="abbr" n="LSJ">LSJ</bibl> s.v. Ἀπέλλων for the Dorian form; cf. here <ref target="CGRN_2">CGRN 2</ref>, Gortyn, line 2), appropriately occur first here. As mentioned above in the discussion of faces A-C, the Apellai were clearly one of the principal occasions for sacrifice and assembly in the group of the Labyadai, and in fact sources gloss the verb ἀπελλάζω as a Spartan or Doric verb meaning "to hold an assembly" (see <bibl type="abbr" n="LSJ">LSJ</bibl> s.v.). The ἀπελλαῖα mentioned on faces A-B (see above) must however clearly have been sacrificial animals as they are led (ἄγεν) for this specific occasion. Regrettably, the sources do not inform us much further about the rituals undertaken during this great gathering or on what date Apollo was honoured. The 7th day of Apellaios is a good possibility, given the predilection for rites in honour of the god on that day; see here lines D5-7 on 7 Bysios and cp. also 7 Hekatombaion in Athens, to which this date may roughly correspond: <ref target="CGRN_56">CGRN 56</ref> (Marathonian Tetrapolis), col. I, lines 24-26. For a sacrifice to Dionysus also taking place during this festival, see below lines D43-51.</p>
<p>Line D4: Following Dittenberger, Rougemont (p. 58) notes that the Boukatia will almost certainly have fallen on 10 Boukatios, the second month of the local calendar, since an assembly of the group is attested on this specific date (lines A19-21 in the preamble of the decree; cp. A41-42; 9 Boukatios, the day preceding the meeting, is also possible). As is clear from lines D43-51, the group offered sacrifices to Zeus Patroos and Apollo on this day, perhaps including oxen given the name of the festival, but notably featuring, according to lines D43-51, an offering of first-offerings (τὰν ἀκροθίνα) and a symposion for collective drinking. For the cult of gods called by the epithet "ancestral", i.e. <foreign>patrooi</foreign>, see here e.g. <ref target="CGRN_18">CGRN 18</ref> (Thasos); for first-offerings, probably of agricultural produce, cp. here <ref target="CGRN_60">CGRN 60</ref> (Thera), lines 13-15, and <ref target="CGRN_61">CGRN 61</ref> (Athens), line 1. As Rougemont notes (p. 59 with n. 186), the date of the Pythia at Delphi was also in the month Boukatios, but the occasion celebrated by the Labyadai in this case was almost certainly a distinct festival. The festival of Hera, the Heraia, fell in the fourth month at Delphi, Heraios (the third month, Boathoos, perhaps corresponding to Athenian Boedromion, was thus skipped); virtually nothing is known about these rites (but see below line D9 on the Telchinia). The Daidaphoria, literally "carrying of torches", fell in the fifth month, the eponymous Daidaphorios. Again, nothing specific is known about the rituals, though an attempt has been made to link them with Dionysus (see Rougemont, p. 59, citing Homolle and Nilsson); perhaps Artemis (or Hekate) may be thought a likelier candidate, given her epithets Daidouchos and Phosphoros (see e.g. schol. to Theocr. 2.11-12c; on Artemis, see below lines D7-8). For the carrying of torches during nighttime festivities, see here <ref target="CGRN_97">CGRN 97</ref> (Mylasa), line 4.</p>
<p>Lines D5-7: The Poitropia took place in the following month, the eponymous Poitropios. Again, almost nothing is known about these rites (cp. Rougemont), though the name of the month suggests that it had a connection with rites of purification (ποιτρόπιος = προστρόπαιος, and see <bibl type="abbr" n="LSJ">LSJ</bibl> s.v.). The epithet Prostropaios may be envisaged (e.g. for Zeus or Apollo, both occasionally known as Apotropaioi) and, even more interestingly, a celebration of a rite called Prostrope occurs in a list of festivals (on which judiciary proceedings of forbidden) from Thasos: <bibl type="abbr" n="LSS">LSS</bibl> 69 (4th century BC), line 2 (immediately before the Thesmophoria; cited by Rougemont, p. 59 with n. 191, who thinks this parallel is "sans force"; for the purifications performed prior to the Thesmophoria, see here <ref target="CGRN_108">CGRN 108</ref>, Gambreion, lines 17-20). Two occasions on the next month, 7 and 9 Bysios (month 8), are then alluded to. The first of these is perhaps to be understood as a celebration in honour of Apollo and his birth; in the legend of Delphi, the only day on which one was traditionally allowed to consult the oracle: see Rougemont p. 59 with n. 192 (citing Plu. <title>Mor.</title> 292e-f). The 9th of the month remains more murky, though it may have had some connection with Dionysus (cf. again Rougemont). Both days, not explicitly specified as festivals, may have constituted specific religious and administrative meetings of the group.</p>
<p>Lines D7-8: A series of three festivals of Artemis are mentioned here: Eukleia, Artamitia and Laphria (see again Rougemont, p. 59, with refs.). For Eukleia, a common epithet for the goddess, see possibly here <ref target="CGRN_107">CGRN 107</ref> (Kalaureia), lines 1-10. Note however that the Laphria are not necessarily tied to Artemis: Laphrios is notably found as an epithet of Apollo, e.g. Str. 10.2.21 and <bibl type="abbr" n="IG IX.1²">IG IX.1²</bibl> 149 (Kalydon). Given the chronological sequence of the list in these lines, these must have fallen after the 9th of Bysios, either in that month, or during the following month of Theoxenios (this corresponded roughly to Athenian Anthesterion-Elaphebolion).</p>
<p>Line 9: The festival of the Theoxenia took place in Theoxenios (month 9). This was a major celebration, probably in honour of several gods, in the sanctuary of Delphi: see Amandry 1939 and 1944-1945 for the sources, across a broad chronological spectrum. For the ritual of <foreign>theoxenia</foreign>, the hosting of the gods, cf. also here <ref target="CGRN_13">CGRN 13</ref> (Selinous), Face A, lines 9-10. The Telchinia, together with the Dioskoureia and the Megalartia (see immediately below), fell between the Theoxenia in Theoxenios and the eponymous Herakleia in Herakleios (month 11). Thus, they occurred over the course of 2-3 months (Endyspoitropios, month 10, fell in between). For the Telchinia, Rougemont (p. 59-60) rightly notes that Telchinios could be an epithet for a wide range of deities, thus making the attribution here quite uncertain; for Hera Thelchinia in the present Collection, see <ref target="CGRN_52">CGRN 52</ref> (Erchia), col. Α, lines 7-11 (Metageitnion 20, a timing which could be compared with Delphic Boukatios/Boathoos instead).</p>
<p>Lines D10-11: As mentioned above, the Dioskoureia and Megalartia fell after the Telchinia, in the period between the Theoxenia (month 9) and the Herakleia (month 11). The Dioskoureia are otherwise unknown. The Megalartia were an agricultural festival in honour of Demeter with this epithet, literally Demeter "of the Big Breads". The same festival probably occurs in the sacrificial calendar of the city of Eleutherna <ref target="CGRN_210">CGRN 210</ref>, line B3, where the goddess receives "small cakes" (no doubt with a wish to make them "grow"). The Herakleia and the cult of Heracles are of course perfectly at home in Delphi, and the festival is attested in another inscription of the 3rd century BC, <bibl type="abbr" n="SGDI">SGDI</bibl> 2607. Note also that the rupestral inscriptions at Phanoteus/Panopeus (Camp et al. 1997) feature several dedications attesting to a cult of Heracles in the western area of the boundary of the upper city (one was made by an Athenian).</p>
<p>Lines 12-17: This part of the regulations of the Labyadai is particularly noteworthy: the group apparently defined stringent conditions to ensure the mandatory participation of the members in the feasts of the group, even if they opt to perform rites as private individuals. The latter might include offering a separate sacrifice, assisting a woman who has given birth (and wishes to offer a sacrifice) or a foreigner who offers a sacrifice (see again Rougemont, p. 60-61 for discussion).</p>
<p>Lines D29-43: The inscription of Phanateus/Panopeus transcribed here, is presented as a bequest or a dowry by one Phanotos to his daughter Boupyga. For the original inscription inscribed on a rock face (though not "inside", mysteriously) at Panopeus/Phanoteus, see now Rousset et al.: no. 1, with a detailed discussion. Rousset et al. rightly underline the uniqueness of a dowry list which consisted of sacrificial portions, and raise the possibility that we are dealing here with a sort of legendary gift, by the local eponym, Phanotos, which provided a mythical justification for the sacrificial portions awarded to the descendants of Phanotos, and thence to the group of the Labyadai. The portions listed were long thought obscure, and some remain so, despite the detailed attempts at elucidation of Rousset et al. First, come <foreign>hemirrhenia</foreign> (hεμιρρίνια on the rock-cut inscription), which have most widely been interpreted as "half-sheeps"; Rousset et al. investigate the many possibilities for the interpretation of the word, which remains to a large degree uncertain, though they plausibly suggest half-carcasses from the animals; for halved anatomical portions, cf. here <ref target="CGRN_57">CGRN 57</ref> (Aixone, on half-heads). As the rock-cut inscription at Panopeus/Phanoteus now makes clear (Rousset et al.: no.1), the animal described here on the cippus as "a winter-old she-goat" from the <foreign>dodekais</foreign> (perhaps poorly copied from this original text and/or the older copy at Delphi), is rather to be understood, more specifically, as a she-goat born in the last winter, τὰν χίμαιραν as the Panopeus/Phanoteus inscription reads. On the <foreign>dodekais</foreign>, a sacrifice of twelve animals at during <foreign>theoria</foreign> at Delphi which must thus have include a single she-goat among the twelve, cf. here <ref target="CGRN_30">CGRN 30</ref>, line A6. Presumably the carcass from this animal was expected to be given in its entirety to the Labyadai by each delegation that performed this twelvefold sacrifice. Preliminary sacrifice when visiting Delphi would be made both to Athena Pronaia (in her temple) and also apparently to Apollo Lykeios; the skins from these animals were demanded as their due by the Labyadai. Finally, another more enigmatic offering is to be granted: a heifer qualified as ἀγαία. Jacquemin et al. and Rousset et al. all take ἀγαία as an adjective qualifying "the most beautiful sheep", the former deriving ἀγαῖος from ἄγω, i.e. the sheep leading the procession, the latter from ἀγα-, an intensifying prefix indicating superiority (see also <bibl type="abbr" n="LSJ">LSJ</bibl> s.v., though with some hesitation). We cannot be sure, but the first sense may be more suitable, if we suppose that this animal also belonged to the <foreign>dodekais</foreign> (Rougemont, p. 71, following Baunack, collects the refs. attesting to this multiple sacrifice being called βούπρῳρος and πρωτοβοία). A final clause added by the Labyadai to the citation of the inscription appropriates these rights to the group and confirms their wide application: the portions must be granted both during civic and private sacrifices, in the context of both <foreign>prothysis</foreign> (cp. here <ref target="CGRN_54">CGRN 54</ref>, Piraeus) and <foreign>promanteia</foreign> (sacrifice before consultation of the oracle).</p>
<p>Lines D43-51: Two further specifications on sacrificials occasions are listed here, apparently underlining private sacrifices held by the group during larger festivals at Delphi: sacrifices to Dionysus in month Apellaios; sacrifices at the Boukatia to Zeus Patroos and to Apollo (see above at line D4). For Dionysus, cp. also a Hellenistic dedication to the god inscribed at Phanoteus/Panopeus (Rousset et al.: no. 3). </p>
<p>Lines D49-51 essentially refer back to the chronological list of the feasts of the Labyadai in lines D2-11. </p>
