Extract
The notable series of legal documents from Mylasa and her small neighbour Olymos, which show how the landed investments of Carian temples were dealt with at the beginning of the second quarter of the first century B.C., have lately been somewhat neglected by scholars. Boeckh made a good beginning (C.I.G. 2693e, 2694), but Waddington was the first to edit and to explain these inscriptions intelligibly (L.B.W. iii. 323–416). Judeich made, in 1889–90, a valuable revision of Waddington's principal texts, besides contributing several new ones of his own (Ath. Mitt. xiv. pp. 367 f.; xv. pp. 259 f.). In 1891 Dareste, Haussoullier, and Reinach (Inscr. jurid. gr. i., p. 242–49) edited, with translations and commentary, the important documents copied in 1881 and 1888 by Hauvette-Besnault and Dubois (B.C.H. v. pp. 108–119) and by Cousin and Diehl (B.C.H. xii. p. 30). A number of new fragments were published without commentary by Hula and Szanto in 1895 (Wien. S. Ber. 132. ii. pp. 1 f.) and by G. Cousin in 1898 (B.C.H. xxii. pp. 380–402; 421–439).

page 190 note 1 Waddington on L.B.W. 409, and Cousin, , B.C.H. xxii. p. 433Google Scholar, give the reasons for fixing the date about 76 B.C.
page 191 note 1 E.g. by Froehner, (Inscr. gr. du Louvre, 1865)Google Scholar, who restores them separately as his Nos. 52 and 54.
page 193 note 1 For the explanation of this, see p. 209, below.
page 195 note 1 The reading (ἐ)[ξ in L.B.W. 325, l. 10, is due to M. Haussoullier, who points out that B, the last letter in the line, as read by Cousin, (B.C.H. xxii. p. 396)Google Scholar, may well have been an error for E.
page 198 note 1 E.g. in our II. (δ), l. 17, Judeich reads ΚΟΜΗ, Cousin ΚΩΜΗ.
page 199 note 1 The rule laid down in B.C.H. v. pp. 110–11, l. 14 applies to a lease made by the φυλή of the Otorkondeis at Mylasa, but as this document is contemporary with the series from Olymos we may assume that the same rule applied also to leases made by the δῆμος of the Olymeis.
page 200 note 1 Cf. the name Πίττας at Aphrodisias; C.I.G. 2749.
page 200 note 2 The lettering of A as rendered in type is, however, consistent with the date of B, whereas it is quite inconsistent with the relationship to L.B.W. 449 suggested by Cousin and Diehl.
page 202 note 1 It would seem that, while the ordinary drachme was equivalent to the denarius, the lighter Rhodian drachme was equal to two-thirds of a denarius: Pauly, , R.E. v. 219, 1619.Google Scholar A half-drachme of Rhodian silver would therefore consist, as here, of two, not of three, oboloi.
page 204 note 1 The reason why the lessee continued to pay the one drachme was doubtless that such an annual payment kept alive his liability to make good any possible arrears of rent.
page 206 note 1 But ἀδιέγγυοσ and ἐγγυητόσ and εὐτακτέω are known. I regret that pressure of work has prevented my using valuable notes kindly given to me by Prof. M. Rostovtseff on the use of these terms in papyri documents.
page 207 note 1 This figure agrees well with the rental of 32¼ drachmae restored below in VI β, l. 11, for Waddington has shown that the usual income from these lands was about 4% on their purchase price.
page 207 note 2 A magistrate described as ὀ μετὰ τὸν δεῖνα is usually of ‘next’ year, because in reference to the magistrate of any year before the ‘next’ ὀ μετά would not occur, as his name would be known, and with respect to any year after the ‘next’, the name of ὀ δεῖνα could not be mentioned, being unknown.
page 209 note 1 For this meaning of the dative cf. L.B.W. 331 ( = Ath. Mitt. xiv. 1889, p. 381) l. 7, where πρίασθαι τοῖς θεοῖς τὰ ἔγγαια means ‘to buy the lands for the gods.’
