Résumé
The fragment of a stele (Nr. I), an acquisition of the Metaxas Collection in Heraklion,
continues the Inscr. Cret. IV, 184, a treaty between Gortyn and Gaudos.
This fragment preserves less than the half of the whole breadth of the stele, a
fact that makes the proposed completions doubtful; nevertheless it presents some
interesting details about the conditions of this treaty, which is practically the only
source of Gaudian history: among others, the two cities agree to use the services
of a πρόδικος for the settlement of the differences between their citizens; the πρεί-
γιστος known from the first fragment of the stele, is now proved to be a Gortynian.
The new fragment suggests that the Gaudians, although under the political
domination and economic exploitation of Gortyn, a fact already known, must have
had a greater degree of independence and national existance than it was supposed
by scholars.
Twelve other inscriptions presented here (Nrs. 4-15) are almost the totality of
the unpublished material of the Haghios Nikolaos Museum; ten of them are funeral
stelae, another a rather obscure proxenic or honorary decree and the last a fragment
of a decree between Latians and Hierapytnians.
Of the last two inscriptions (Nrs. 2-3), the first is a funeral stele of the Rethymnon
Museum and the second a pipeline of the Heraklion Museum with a sealing containing
the name of the manufacturer.
