abstract

The stele, to be displayed in the civic prytaneion, preserves a public decree concerning honours for the war dead, norms and limitations to their public mourning, as well as provisions for the fallen’s fathers and sons. The decree, dated to mid-4th century B.C. on a paleographical basis, has been recently connected with the war the Thasians fought against the Thracians to protect their colony Datos/Krenides between 360 and 356 B.C. The first section (ll. 4-14) concerns public honours for the war dead, while the second section (ll. 14-49) deals with public provisions for the war dead’s fathers and sons. Concerning both the special treatment of the war dead and the welfare in favour of the war orphans, a useful comparison can be drawn from the analogue Athenian practice in Classical times.
