The secretaries of the Athenian boule in the fifth century B. C.
(University of Missouri., 1930) Haggard, Patience
"It is not my purpose in this study to add to the discussion of the subject of Athenian secretaries, nor to review in detail the history of that subject as it has been treated by able scholars from Boeckh to Brillant. Questions about secretaries that once gave rise to debate have now, for the most part, found a solution acceptable to all. In chapters I and II I have endeavored merely to summarize our knowledge of the Boule and its secretary, thereby providing a setting for the names that appear in the body of the monograph. Although the subject has been frequently treated, I hope that students of fifth century Athens, particularly those who are interested in the contributions made by epigraphical studies to our understanding of it, may find it useful to have at hand a list of secretaries that includes names that have become known since Larfeld, Penndorf, and Ferguson compiled their lists. The monograph is designed also to supplement the Fasti and index of the editio minor of the Corpus which, because of their limited scope, do not contain much of the material that has been gathered together here in tabular form. A table of epistats and the names of those who proposed decrees in the fifth century is included. In preparing the tables I have worked directly with Inscriptions In the Acropolis and the Epigraphical Museums at Athens; whenever possible I have compared them with the transcripts given in the Corpus. At times I have discovered errors both of omission and commission; in other cases I have found that the Corpus text does not give the length of lacunae correctly; occasionally it has been possible to give more precise dates to inscriptions. Finally, a re-examinatlon of the evidence has made it possible to identify a few of the secretaries with men of the period prominent in Athenian life."--Preface.
