Prohibition of Grazing in a Decree from Herakleia
An Autopsy Review of IG XII.7 509
Abstract
IG XII.7 509 is a stele kept in the Archaeological Museum of Amorgos and is the only known inscription from Herakleia. The text preserves the last part of a decree aimed at prohibiting the introduction and breeding of goats on the island. The paper includes a revision of the text after autopsy, translation, commentary and a photograph of the inscription. The question of the precise political status of Herakleia has not been the subject of in-depth discussion until very recently and it is worthy of further investigation. The question is addressed on the basis of some useful details. Furthermore, the restorations proposed for ll. 1-2 are reconsidered and a new one is proposed for l. 18.
