Attic Letter-Cutters of 229 to 86 B.C.

Stephen V. Tracy offers a detailed study of all available Attic inscriptions for the last real period of Athenian independence.

Inscriptions comprise a major primary source for this period.

Tracy has arranged them by individual letter-cutter and provides photographs of all hands catalogued.

In presenting the dossiers of the cutters, he offers many new readings, redatings, and interpretations.

A number of fragments from the Athenian Agora are here presented for the first time.Attic Letter-Cutters will serve as a sourcebook for the inscriptions of 229 to 86 B.C.

It will be important for the evidence it offers on the dating of the texts and will provide a guide for others dealing with late Hellenistic Attic inscriptions.
