Attic Decree on the Duties of the Demarch
Abstract
The inscription is a decree maybe from the Attic deme of Myrrhinous. The duties and tasks of the demarch seem to be at the centre of the deliberation, which concerns three main themes: the annual euthynai of the outgoing demarch, the lending of sacred money, and the sacrifices for which the demarch was responsible. The epigraph thus allows us to reflect on the functioning of the deme administration, and at the same time it highlights the demarch’s various responsibilities in the political, administrative and religious field.
