Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Introduction to Greek Epigraphy, Vol. 1
Every e?ort has been made to keep an courant with the periodical literature, but some of the more recent epigraphical information could find a place only in the Addenda and Addenda nova. While the last sheets are being printed off, I read in the latest number of the Wiener Studien (1887, p. 223 sqq.) A. Bauer's opinion that neither the Delphian tripod with intertwined serpents (no. 259) nor the memorial at Olympia (see p. 260) was intended to com memorate especially the battle of Plataeae. He contends that Pausanias (v. 23. 1, x. 13. 9) was the first to refer it to Plataeae: the other writers quoted by Roehl (iga 70) represent both as memorials erected by the Greeks generally who fought against the Persians, and especially by those whose names appear on them, and who must have been contributors to the expense of erecting them.
