Sources & provenance
The stone. Sacrificial calendar of the deme Thorikos, Attica: marble stele,
IG I³ 256bis = AIO 847 =
CGRN 32 = Lupu, NGSL 1; Epigraphic Museum, Athens, EM 13537;
dated before 420 BC (conventional). Front face, 65 lines, stoichedon; the stone’s left and
right faces carry further entries not shown here.
Greek text. From CGRN 32 (Collection of Greek
Ritual Norms, consulted 2026), which follows Lupu, NGSL 1.
The facsimile keeps the stone’s orthography where editors correct it: ΗΜΙΔΩΝ
(l. 26, edd. correct Μ→Λ), surplus Ι in ΑΝΑΓΡΑΙΨΑΙ (l. 62), the price ΔΔ cut inside
ΟΙΝ (l. 57), and the erased but legible Athena entry (l. 23, shown struck through).
The line-by-line edition text in the panel reproduces CGRN’s own display (brackets for
restorations, dots below uncertain letters, dot runs for lost letters).
English translation. Quoted verbatim from the
CGRN 32 English translation (CGRN: J.-M. Carbon, S. Peels-Matthey,
V. Pirenne-Delforge, A Collection of Greek Ritual Norms, Liège), licensed
CC BY-NC-SA 4.0;
DOI: https://doi.org/10.54510/CGRN32, consulted 2026-07-10.
The translation is keyed to the entry sections of the calendar; the highlighted part is the
span between CGRN’s printed line markers that covers the selected line.
Facsimile. Typographic reconstruction, not a tracing: the full edition text
set in stroke-based fifth-century letterforms calibrated against measurements taken from a
photograph of the stone, laid out on the stoichedon grid with the two joined fragments shown
in silhouette. Generated, together with this page, by the scripts in the
thorikos-project directory of the author’s notes repository
(pipeline: photo enhancement → stone vectorization → facsimile → webpage).
Photograph. The photograph behind the Photograph tab was taken by
TimeTravelRome on 2022-04-11 at the Epigraphic Museum of Athens
and published on Wikimedia Commons under
CC BY 2.0; it is shown here
cropped to the stele and downscaled, and remains under its own license.
