Author Description

Excerpt from Erchia: A Deme of Attica HE careful consideration of two distinct ele ments is absolutely essential to an accurate knowledge of the history of Attica. On the one hand the history of Athens itself claims our atten tion, On the other that of the country demes re quires careful investigation. The former has long been a subject for the research of scholars, but the latter has been far too generally neglected. And yet the store of Attic inscriptions, already large and ever-increasing, renders investigation in this field more and more profitable, the results attained more and more exact. In the hope, then, of adding slightly to our knowledge of these country demes the writer was encouraged to undertake the investigation of which the results are embodied in the present paper.
