- Title
TWO HOROS INSCRIPTIONS OF THE BOULEUTERION OF THE AREOPAGUS: Epigraphy and Topography.

- Abstract
Agora I 5054, an inscription excavated in 1937 on the northeast slope of the Areopagus, was first published as a dedication of the Boule of the Areopagus with traces of a failed earlier version of the text. Reexamination of the stone has revealed that the inscription is a palimpsest of two successive horoi of the Bouleuterion of the Areopagus from the 5th and 4th centuries. The stones architecture and the textual layout suggest that the inscription was built into a períbolos wall at the bouleuterion's entrance. Replacement of the older horos (ḥợρ[oç τεç(?)] β[o]λές) with the later one (βoλής έϛ Άρείο πάγο) may reflect the renewed importance of the Areopagus beginning ca. mid-4th century B.C.
