  1. AthenianTributeLists:i

    § i These fragmentary inscriptions once stood on the Acropolis of Athens, recording the “first fruits” (ἀπαρχαὶ) offered to the god Athena, one mina per talent (i.e., one sixtieth), from the tribute paid by the allied cities in the third quarter of the 5th c. BCE. Summarized (usually one entry per city) from the texts of IG I(3): 71, 259-91. Numbers have been multiplied by 60 and converted to talents. Note that the order and restoration of the fragments keep changing with new discoveries; names and numbers here lack indication of the degree of restoration and should not be trusted for any scholarly purpose. Readers should be sobered by the existence of so many tribute-paying peoples whose names go unmentioned in surviving ancient literature.
