^{page 163 note 1} I.G. I². 63 and 64 : Meritt and West, Amer. Journ. Arch. XXIX. 59 ff., West, ibid. 135 ff. I hope Professor West will shortly republish both these inscriptions and give us definitive texts. The period of high assessment is slightly later than the Panathenaic period: the first high tribute is paid in spring 424, the last in spring 421. Andokides, Peace 8, says, at the time of the Peace of Nikias ‘more than 1,200 talents of Phoros’ was received per year: he is referring to this period; the Phoros was not, in fact, lowered till after peace was made. The passage is careless, but not nonsensical: for the 7,000 talents which he says were put on the Akropolis at this time, see p. 165, note 1.

^{page 163 note 3} This calculation is confirmed by the parallel figures for the other treasures—Nike: 22 talents borrowed down to 426, interest on this to 422 just over 1 talent (lines 107–108); Other Gods : 766 talents borrowed down to 426, interest on this to 422, 37 talents (lines 103–105) : the interest in both cases is about 1/20 of the principal. Here and throughout I treat the numerals restored by Meritt as if they stood on the stone. I have checked the calculations in every case, and am (it is almost impertinent to say so) satisfied of their cogency.

^{page 165 note 2} Calculated per day, as it probably was, this about 1/50 per cent. per day. The later figure is 1/300 per cent. per day.
