On two Inscriptions from Olympia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 December 2013
Extract
In a paper read at the R. Accademia dei Lincei in Rome I communicated the result of my studies upon three of the bronze inscriptions (Nos. 362, 56, 363) found at Olympia, and published in the Archäologische Zeitung. Amongst other inscriptions from the same place recently published in the last number of the same periodical there are two (Nos. 382, 383) deserving the same attention, and demanding it all the more since Professor Kirchhoff in giving them to the public has declared himself unable to divine their meaning. Here I submit to the judgment of the readers of this journal my contribution to the question. My studies are only founded on the facsimile taken from a rubbing and published in the Archäologische Zeitung, together with Dr. Purgold's account of the material condition of the two monuments. I have thought it necessary to give my readers a phototypic copy of the facsimile itself, reduced to smaller proportions. Further particulars will be found in the Archäologische Zeitung, 1881, pp. 78 seq.

page 375 note 1 Kirchhoff's reading and punctuation of this inscription are evidently wrong in some parts. I take the opportunity of communicating my own reading: 
There is an erroneous repetition of ΙΟ in ΑΛΦΙΟΙΟΜΕΝΟΡ. Nobody will be astonished at the participle being constructed with reference to the measure rather than to the barley; facts of this kind are frequent in every spoken and vulgar language; it is even a rather frequent and well-known usage with Greek and Latin poets. The verb ἀλφιόω corresponds to what in the Attic dialect would be ἀλφιτόω (comp. διαλφιτόω in Aristoph. Nub.), and is based on the known shortened form ἄλφι for ἄλφιτον. The compact is that Aichmanor cedes to Aitheron the perpetual possession of a land placed in Salmone, of the extent of 18 plethra, on condition that from its produce Aitheron shall pay yearly (φάρην, viz. (φέρειν) to Aichmanor 22 measures 
of barley already reduced to ἄλφιτον. If he fails to do that, he must redeem himself (from the right the law gives to the creditor on his person) by paying double. There can be no doubt on the reading ΣΥΝΘΕΝ, the letters being perfectly clear and preserved; the participle is perfectly in accordance with the infinitive φάρην; but then its meaning must be ‘it has been agreed that,’ &c., namely the meaning of συντεθέν.
