Abstract

The inscription IG II2, 1174 (368-367) is a decree of the deme Halai Aixonides, concerning some changes in the local accounting procedure (euthyna). According to the new rules, the demarch and the treasurers were required to make a monthly written report (logos) of incomes and expenses, keeping these logoi in a box. At the end of their office,the annual accounting was made by means of the records extracted from the box. The increased strictness of the new procedure has reasonably been connected to a financial embezzlement. Thus, the decree helps to accept the idea of the considerable autonomy of Attic demes from the central government, so that they could act on their own internal rules to ensure the proper functioning of the local administration and economy.
