We who have only fragments of the inscription would like to discover where Pollux found his text of the Attic Stelai, and whether it was full and accurate. In the first nine books of the Onomnasticon there are only nine scattered passages which could suggest that Pollux might have made use of a non-literary source. In III, 39, at the word protoposis, is the statement: " This term is written in the laws of the king archon." The marker which indicates mortgage of land is defined as a sanis or stele in III, 85, but the fact that the nmortgage-pillars were inscribed is not mentioned. In VII, 61, there is an allusion to the statues of Kleobis and Biton in Argos; they are not mentioned, however, because there was an inscribed base, but because the sculpture illustrated a certain type of clothing. The custom of dedicating calathemata is treated briefly in I, 11, and in V, 149, terms for writing upon stelai are listed, but Pollux appears to be quite unaware that dedicatory inscriptions had been gathered and published by Polemon. In V, 166, there is a discussion of the proper terms used to describe legal and public inscriptions, and again, in speaking of Athenian political processes in Book VIII, Pollux several times (c. 46, c. 128) indicates that inscriptions would be made at certain points, yet with all his pedantry he makes no reference to the collections of epigraphical texts which could have provided him with a wealth of citations.5 3 On the stone it is xXWAt'1 MtX-rtovpyn13 a/L4uKE4aXoq. 4 Cf. Polemon ap. Athenaeus, VI, 234 f. 5 Philochoros' collection of epigraphical texts, the 'Exrtypa,aura 'Arrau, was made probably in the early-years of the 3rd century B.c. No portions of it remain, but the title has led Bockh and others to assume that the inscriptions included were exclusively metrical. Jacoby, however, believes that the Epigrarnmata may have been selected from various types of inscriptions, and concludes:
