Transliterations on Places on

[1] Lykourgos proposed eight self-standing laws and decrees that survive on stone, more than any Athenian politician before 321 BC except for Demades, and there are three others referred to elsewhere in the epigraphical record. This very fragmentary decree is probably the earliest. Unusually for a prominent politician, the decree is probouleumatic, indicating that this year was one of the two in which he served on the Council. At this period Athenians could be councillors only twice in a lifetime. There is also a posthumous inscribed decree honouring Lykourgos, IG II² 457 + 3207, q.v.. [2] The name suggests the honorand was probably not an Athenian.
