in 1951 j. v. a. fine published a horos that had been discovered in the Athenian Agora during January of 1939. The horos is undated, but like the other Attic horoi must belong to the fourth or third century BCE. Shortly thereafter, M. I. Finley reprinted Fine's text of the inscription with his restorations as no. 114A in his collection of horoi appended to his study of land and credit in Athens. Finley criticized some of Fine's restorations, but neither discussed the inscription in detail nor offered any restorations of his own. Several years ago, Harris examined a squeeze of the inscription at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. In a recent article he proposed new restorations in lines 4 and 5 on the basis of similarities in phraseology with the text of a horos found on Amorgos.

During the Winter of 1997, Tuite examined the horos at the American excavations in the Athenian Agora with the permission of Professor John Camp and Professor Ronald Stroud. During his examination of the horos, he found traces of letters in line 2 and line 4. Since the publication of his article, Harris found an Attic parallel for the phrase he restored in lines 4–5, which is closer in similarity than the phrase found on the horos from Amorgos. In this article we present Tuite's findings (Part I) and Harris' revised analysis of the restoration of lines 4–5 (Part II).
