abstract

The ϝράτρα for the Eleians, like the others of its kind, is an oracle of the Olympian Zeus. In this particular case, the god orders that the foreigner – and secretary – Patrias must be treated as an Eleian if he is the victim of a curse. The prominence of the Eleians in the established judicial procedure and the use of whipping as a punishment suggest to locate the crime to be punished and the procedure itself (which also demonstrates a certain ‘Panhellenic’ capacity of the Eleians) in the sanctuary of Olympia. Furthermore, a closer examination of the space available on the tablet suggests a new integration of the lacuna at the beginning of line 9.
