[ - - - ] with lead and pumice stone [ - - - ] and he (i.e. the contractor) will do the rest in the same way as for the things which are in the sanctuary. When those will be made, the architect will check all the stones in the sanctuary of Delos. When these will be checked, after taking the blocks of the stylobate and polishing them, he (i.e. the contractor) will level them personally, at right angles to the column, with a stone rule. He will level also all the moulded bases, all the shafts and all capitals, with a chisel, on a circumference of at least half a foot and he will put them on a surface everywhere in the same way. He will also make the holes for the empolia and he will fix (them) with the molten lead, as the architect will order. Besides this, he will present (some stones) arranged straight, intact, equal to each other at the top (i.e. of the same height) and everywhere straight to the level. He will place all the stones in the presence of the vice-architect. When all the things will be arranged and in the meantime (the empolia(?)) will be put [ - - - ]. The contractor will provide to himself all that will be needed for the work except for the empolia and the lead. As for the model of the capital that will be made, it will be paid in proportion to the amount of money for which the work that the architect will order will be contracted out. The contractor will transport the model of the capital to Delos, at his own expense, intact, and he will put it in the same way as it is written for the rest, after taking it intact in Athens. Besides this, he will contribute to the pay of the vice-architect from the day in which he will begin to work in Delos, until he has finished the work that he has achieved in the contract, for a quarter of the sum, as is written in the contracts for those who have obtained the contract for the orthostats.
When all the things established in the contract will be completed, the contractor will show the result to the naopoioi and to the architect within eight months from the time when he has obtained the contract. He will provide solvent guarantors, everyone for 1000 (drachmas)). If he didn't do the things established in the contract by the deadline, he will have to pay ten drachmas a day until he has done the things established in the contract. The naopoioi have to exact this amount (of money) from him and from his guarantors and they have to do the rest in the same way as is written in the contract for the other contractors and for their guarantors. (The contractor) will get half of the money after he has provided the guarantors, half of the rest (i.e. that is a quarter of the sum) when half of the work will be completed and the balance when he will present the finished work.

This document consists of specifications for the construction of a building on Delos. It dates back to the period when the island was under Athenian rule (about 350 BC).
In the first part (ll. 1-8) there are some directives for the realization of a colonnade (l. 4: τοὺς κίονας καὶ τὰ ἐπίκρ[αν]α) of a Ionic building (l. 4: τὰ̣ς σ[π]εί̣ρα[ς], the moulded bases are typical of the Ionic order) in the Sanctuary of Apollo on Delos (l. 2: [ἐ]ν̣ [τῶι ἱ]ε̣ρ̣[ῶ]ι ἐν Δήλωι). The architect and the vice-architect are in charge of the building site.
From line 8 to line 24 the terms of the contract are listed. The contractor has to provide personally for all the materials for the work except for the empolia and the lead (ll. 8-10). He has to transport the model of the capital from Athens to Delos, at his own expense (ll. 11-13), and he has to contribute to the pay of the vice-architect (ll. 13-15). The contractor has eight months to complete the work; after this time, he has to show the result to the naopoioi and to the architect (ll. 16-17).
The naopoioi (literally: temple makers) are a board of Athenian superintendents to the construction of a temple. They supervise the works (ll. 16-17), but they have primarily a financial role: they have to provide payments and to collect fines (l. 20). Furthermore, they also have a juridical role, because they have to resolve disputes between contractors (l. 24) (NCIDélos, 53-54; Chankowski 2008, 237-238).
Moreover, the contractor has to provide solvent guarantors, each for 1000 drachmas (ll. 16-17). The institution of solvent guarantors is a form of guarantee for Athens; they guarantee indeed the satisfaction of an obligation assumed by a third party towards the Athenian state (Erdas 2010).
Finally, at ll. 18-19 the clause of breach of contract is expressed and lines 21-23 contain the mode of payment of the contractor.
Ll. 24-26 are full of lacunae; they probably presented a partial balance of the expenses for the building.
Ll. 26-32 express data of another contract, which consists of the supplying of 667 stone blocks for the same building (Carusi 2006, 16). The contractor is Canon, who has provided five Attic guarantors. Then, from line 32 to line 57, there is a long list with the measures of all these stones. In the text there is no information about the parts of the building which will be built with them.
The final part, that is full of lacunae, contained further directives, probably about the transport of the stones and their arrangement.
This document is a syngraphe, as is defined in the text itself at lines 16, 18 and 19, i.e. a text which contains specifications about something to do. The syngraphai were written, after the decision of the Boule or of the Assembly, by one or more persons chosen by the Assembly, who were called syngrapheis, and then these documents were approved by the Boule or by the Assembly.
I.Délos 104-4 is a particular kind of syngraphe, which can be defined “architectonic”, because it contains specifications for the construction of a building. The most important building projects were supervised by special boards, like the Athenian naopoioi in Delos, with administrative and financial tasks, while the technical aspects of the construction were supervised by an architect, who sometimes was also the author of the syngraphe.
The main characteristic of the syngraphai is their content, which consists of technical directives and contractual conditions (respectively lines 1-8 and 8-24 in I.Délos 104-4), usually expressed with the future tense. The technical directives of a syngraphe correspond with a preliminary project, but these documents never contain an exhaustive description of the plan of construction.
Moreover, the content of a syngraphe is expressed with a particular structure, which is typical of this kind of document. First of all, the syngraphai are often introduced by a sort of title, which is lost in the case of I.Délos 104-4. Furthermore, the conditions for the contractors consist of standard clauses, expressed with the same terms and put in the same order: the clause about the supply of materials and the one about the deadline for the presentation of the finished work are recurring. The clause which required contractors to submit guarantors is less frequent, although this provision was essential. The clause about the payment of the contractor was likewise infrequent, while the clauses which refer to the existence of penalties for the late termination of the works or for the non-compliance with directives are very rare. All these clauses are expressed in I.Délos 104-4.
It is important to underline that I.Délos 104-4 is a part of a series of similar texts, each one dedicated to the construction of a section of the same building, as it is evident at lines 26-32.
The syngraphai prefigure the contracts that the contractors would have signed with the city to carry out the work, but they were considered completely different from them, both from a formal and a legal point of view. For this reason, in the text it is necessary to separate the sections which contain a syngraphe (ll. 1-26 and maybe ll. 57-58) from the ones with the data of the related contracts (ll. 26-32) (Carusi 2006, 11-35).
Finally, in the text there are some indications for the identification of the building: it is Ionic because at line 4 moulded bases are mentioned, and it is a temple, as shown by the presence of the naopoioi. In all probability, it could be GD 42, the only Ionic temple dating to mid-fourth century BC, built by the Athenians in Delos. The ruins of this temple, known as Pythion, are in the NW part of the Sanctuary of Apollo (NCIDélos, 53; Chankowski 2008, 237, 258-260).

[ - - - ] with lead and pumice stone [ - - - ] and he (i.e. the contractor) will do the rest in the same way as for the things which are in the sanctuary. When those will be made, the architect will check all the stones in the sanctuary of Delos. When these will be checked, after taking the blocks of the stylobate and polishing them, he (i.e. the contractor) will level them personally, at right angles to the column, with a stone rule. He will level also all the moulded bases, all the shafts and all capitals, with a chisel, on a circumference of at least half a foot and he will put them on a surface everywhere in the same way. He will also make the holes for the empolia and he will fix (them) with the molten lead, as the architect will order. Besides this, he will present (some stones) arranged straight, intact, equal to each other at the top (i.e. of the same height) and everywhere straight to the level. He will place all the stones in the presence of the vice-architect. When all the things will be arranged and in the meantime (the empolia(?)) will be put [ - - - ]. The contractor will provide to himself all that will be needed for the work except for the empolia and the lead. As for the model of the capital that will be made, it will be paid in proportion to the amount of money for which the work that the architect will order will be contracted out. The contractor will transport the model of the capital to Delos, at his own expense, intact, and he will put it in the same way as it is written for the rest, after taking it intact in Athens. Besides this, he will contribute to the pay of the vice-architect from the day in which he will begin to work in Delos, until he has finished the work that he has achieved in the contract, for a quarter of the sum, as is written in the contracts for those who have obtained the contract for the orthostats.
When all the things established in the contract will be completed, the contractor will show the result to the naopoioi and to the architect within eight months from the time when he has obtained the contract. He will provide solvent guarantors, everyone for 1000 (drachmas)). If he didn't do the things established in the contract by the deadline, he will have to pay ten drachmas a day until he has done the things established in the contract. The naopoioi have to exact this amount (of money) from him and from his guarantors and they have to do the rest in the same way as is written in the contract for the other contractors and for their guarantors. (The contractor) will get half of the money after he has provided the guarantors, half of the rest (i.e. that is a quarter of the sum) when half of the work will be completed and the balance when he will present the finished work. If contractors are opposed to each other about the works, the naopoioi will judge [ - - - ].

Here are the terms of the contract. These (stones) [ - - - ], the contractor [ - - - ] on the sea [ - - - ] on the embankment no more [ - - - ] Commentary:
This document consists of specifications for the construction of a building on Delos. It dates back to the period when the island was under Athenian rule (about 350 BC).
In the first part (ll. 1-8) there are some directives for the realization of a colonnade (l. 4: τοὺς κίονας καὶ τὰ ἐπίκρ[αν]α) of a Ionic building (l. 4: τὰ̣ς σ[π]εί̣ρα[ς], the moulded bases are typical of the Ionic order) in the Sanctuary of Apollo on Delos (l. 2: [ἐ]ν̣ [τῶι ἱ]ε̣ρ̣[ῶ]ι ἐν Δήλωι). The architect and the vice-architect are in charge of the building site.
From line 8 to line 24 the terms of the contract are listed. The contractor has to provide personally for all the materials for the work except for the empolia and the lead (ll. 8-10). He has to transport the model of the capital from Athens to Delos, at his own expense (ll. 11-13), and he has to contribute to the pay of the vice-architect (ll. 13-15). The contractor has eight months to complete the work; after this time, he has to show the result to the naopoioi and to the architect (ll. 16-17).
The naopoioi (literally: temple makers) are a board of Athenian superintendents to the construction of a temple. They supervise the works (ll. 16-17), but they have primarily a financial role: they have to provide payments and to collect fines (l. 20). Furthermore, they also have a juridical role, because they have to resolve disputes between contractors (l. 24) (NCIDélos, 53-54; Chankowski 2008, 237-238).
Moreover, the contractor has to provide solvent guarantors, each for 1000 drachmas (ll. 16-17). The institution of solvent guarantors is a form of guarantee for Athens; they guarantee indeed the satisfaction of an obligation assumed by a third party towards the Athenian state (Erdas 2010).
Finally, at ll. 18-19 the clause of breach of contract is expressed and lines 21-23 contain the mode of payment of the contractor.
Ll. 24-26 are full of lacunae; they probably presented a partial balance of the expenses for the building.
Ll. 26-32 express data of another contract, which consists of the supplying of 667 stone blocks for the same building (Carusi 2006, 16). The contractor is Canon, who has provided five Attic guarantors. Then, from line 32 to line 57, there is a long list with the measures of all these stones. In the text there is no information about the parts of the building which will be built with them.
The final part, that is full of lacunae, contained further directives, probably about the transport of the stones and their arrangement.
This document is a syngraphe, as is defined in the text itself at lines 16, 18 and 19, i.e. a text which contains specifications about something to do. The syngraphai were written, after the decision of the Boule or of the Assembly, by one or more persons chosen by the Assembly, who were called syngrapheis, and then these documents were approved by the Boule or by the Assembly.
I.Délos 104-4 is a particular kind of syngraphe, which can be defined “architectonic”, because it contains specifications for the construction of a building. The most important building projects were supervised by special boards, like the Athenian naopoioi in Delos, with administrative and financial tasks, while the technical aspects of the construction were supervised by an architect, who sometimes was also the author of the syngraphe.
The main characteristic of the syngraphai is their content, which consists of technical directives and contractual conditions (respectively lines 1-8 and 8-24 in I.Délos 104-4), usually expressed with the future tense. The technical directives of a syngraphe correspond with a preliminary project, but these documents never contain an exhaustive description of the plan of construction.
Moreover, the content of a syngraphe is expressed with a particular structure, which is typical of this kind of document. First of all, the syngraphai are often introduced by a sort of title, which is lost in the case of I.Délos 104-4. Furthermore, the conditions for the contractors consist of standard clauses, expressed with the same terms and put in the same order: the clause about the supply of materials and the one about the deadline for the presentation of the finished work are recurring. The clause which required contractors to submit guarantors is less frequent, although this provision was essential. The clause about the payment of the contractor was likewise infrequent, while the clauses which refer to the existence of penalties for the late termination of the works or for the non-compliance with directives are very rare. All these clauses are expressed in I.Délos 104-4.
It is important to underline that I.Délos 104-4 is a part of a series of similar texts, each one dedicated to the construction of a section of the same building, as it is evident at lines 26-32.
The syngraphai prefigure the contracts that the contractors would have signed with the city to carry out the work, but they were considered completely different from them, both from a formal and a legal point of view. For this reason, in the text it is necessary to separate the sections which contain a syngraphe (ll. 1-26 and maybe ll. 57-58) from the ones with the data of the related contracts (ll. 26-32) (Carusi 2006, 11-35).
Finally, in the text there are some indications for the identification of the building: it is Ionic because at line 4 moulded bases are mentioned, and it is a temple, as shown by the presence of the naopoioi. In all probability, it could be GD 42, the only Ionic temple dating to mid-fourth century BC, built by the Athenians in Delos. The ruins of this temple, known as Pythion, are in the NW part of the Sanctuary of Apollo (NCIDélos, 53; Chankowski 2008, 237, 258-260).

It dates back to the period when the island was under Athenian rule (<date>about 350 BC</date>).</p> 251 <lb/><p>In the first part (ll. 1-8) there are some directives for the realization of a colonnade (l. 4: <foreign xml:lang="grc">τοὺς κίονας καὶ τὰ ἐπίκρ<supplied reason="lost">αν</supplied>α</foreign>) of a Ionic building (l. 4: <foreign>τ<unclear>ὰ</unclear>ς σ<supplied reason="lost">π</supplied>ε<unclear>ί</unclear>ρα<supplied reason="lost">ς</supplied></foreign>, the moulded bases are typical of the Ionic order) in the Sanctuary of Apollo on Delos (l. 2: <foreign xml:lang="grc"><supplied reason="lost">ἐ</supplied><unclear>ν</unclear> <supplied reason="lost">τῶι ἱ</supplied><unclear>ερ</unclear><supplied reason="lost">ῶ</supplied>ι ἐν Δήλωι</foreign>). The architect and the vice-architect are in charge of the building site.</p> 252 <lb/><p>From line 8 to line 24 the terms of the contract are listed. The contractor has to provide personally for all the materials for the work except for the <foreign xml:lang="grc-Latn">empolia</foreign> and the lead (ll. 8-10). He has to transport the model of the capital from Athens to Delos, at his own expense (ll. 11-13), and he has to contribute to the pay of the vice-architect (ll. 13-15). The contractor has eight months to complete the work; after this time, he has to show the result to the <foreign xml:lang="grc-Latn">naopoioi</foreign> and to the architect (ll. 16-17).</p> 253 <lb/><p>The <foreign xml:lang="grc-Latn">naopoioi</foreign> (literally: temple makers) are a board of Athenian superintendents to the construction of a temple. They supervise the works (ll. 16-17), but they have primarily a financial role: they have to provide payments and to collect fines (l. 20). Furthermore, they also have a juridical role, because they have to resolve disputes between contractors (l. 24) (<bibl><ref target="GEIBibl/#bibl2090"><title level="m">NCIDélos</title></ref>, 53-54</bibl>; Chankowski 2008, 237-238).</p> 254 <lb/><p>Moreover, the contractor has to provide solvent guarantors, each for 1000 drachmas (ll. 16-17). The institution of solvent guarantors is a form of guarantee for Athens; they guarantee indeed the satisfaction of an obligation assumed by a third party towards the Athenian state (Erdas 2010).</p> 255 <lb/><p>Finally, at ll. 18-19 the clause of breach of contract is expressed and lines 21-23 contain the mode of payment of the contractor.</p> 256 <lb/><p>Ll. 24-26 are full of lacunae; they probably presented a partial balance of the expenses for the building.</p> 257 <lb/><p>Ll. 26-32 express data of another contract, which consists of the supplying of 667 stone blocks for the same building (Carusi 2006, 16). The contractor is Canon, who has provided five Attic guarantors. Then, from line 32 to line 57, there is a long list with the measures of all these stones. In the text there is no information about the parts of the building which will be built with them.</p> 258 <lb/><p>The final part, that is full of lacunae, contained further directives, probably about the transport of the stones and their arrangement.</p> 259 <lb/><p>This document is a <foreign xml:lang="grc-Latn">syngraphe</foreign>, as is defined in the text itself at lines 16, 18 and 19, i.e. a text which contains specifications about something to do. The <foreign xml:lang="grc-Latn">syngraphai</foreign> were written, after the decision of the Boule or of the Assembly, by one or more persons chosen by the Assembly, who were called <foreign xml:lang="grc-Latn">syngrapheis</foreign>, and then these documents were approved by the Boule or by the Assembly.</p> 260 <lb/><p><bibl><ref target="GEIBibl/#bibl1995"><title level="m">I.Délos</title></ref> 104-4</bibl> is a particular kind of <foreign xml:lang="grc-Latn">syngraphe</foreign>, which can be defined “architectonic”, because it contains specifications for the construction of a building. The most important building projects were supervised by special boards, like the Athenian <foreign xml:lang="grc-Latn">naopoioi</foreign> in Delos, with administrative and financial tasks, while the technical aspects of the construction were supervised by an architect, who sometimes was also the author of the <foreign xml:lang="grc-Latn">syngraphe</foreign>.</p> 261 <lb/><p>The main characteristic of the syngraphai is their content, which consists of technical directives and contractual conditions (respectively lines 1-8 and 8-24 in <bibl><ref target="GEIBibl/#bibl1995"><title level="m">I.Délos</title></ref> 104-4</bibl>), usually expressed with the future tense. The technical directives of a syngraphe correspond with a preliminary project, but these documents never contain an exhaustive description of the plan of construction.</p> 262 <lb/><p>Moreover, the content of a <foreign xml:lang="grc-Latn">syngraphe</foreign> is expressed with a particular structure, which is typical of this kind of document. First of all, the <foreign xml:lang="grc-Latn">syngraphai</foreign> are often introduced by a sort of title, which is lost in the case of <bibl><ref target="GEIBibl/#bibl1995"><title level="m">I.Délos</title></ref> 104-4</bibl>. Furthermore, the conditions for the contractors consist of standard clauses, expressed with the same terms and put in the same order: the clause about the supply of materials and the one about the deadline for the presentation of the finished work are recurring. The clause which required contractors to submit guarantors is less frequent, although this provision was essential. The clause about the payment of the contractor was likewise infrequent, while the clauses which refer to the existence of penalties for the late termination of the works or for the non-compliance with directives are very rare. All these clauses are expressed in <bibl><ref target="GEIBibl/#bibl1995"><title level="m">I.Délos</title></ref> 104-4</bibl>.</p> 263 <lb/><p>It is important to underline that <bibl><ref target="GEIBibl/#bibl1995"><title level="m">I.Délos</title></ref> 104-4</bibl> is a part of a series of similar texts, each one dedicated to the construction of a section of the same building, as it is evident at lines 26-32.</p> 264 <lb/><p>The <foreign xml:lang="grc-Latn">syngraphai</foreign> prefigure the contracts that the contractors would have signed with the city to carry out the work, but they were considered completely different from them, both from a formal and a legal point of view. For this reason, in the text it is necessary to separate the sections which contain a <foreign xml:lang="grc-Latn">syngraphe</foreign> (ll. 1-26 and maybe ll. 57-58) from the ones with the data of the related contracts (ll. 26-32) (Carusi 2006, 11-35).</p> 265 <lb/><p>Finally, in the text there are some indications for the identification of the building: it is Ionic because at line 4 moulded bases are mentioned, and it is a temple, as shown by the presence of the <foreign xml:lang="grc-Latn">naopoioi</foreign>. In all probability, it could be <bibl><title level="m">GD</title> 42</bibl>, the only Ionic temple dating to mid-fourth century BC, built by the Athenians in Delos. The ruins of this temple, known as Pythion, are in the NW part of the Sanctuary of Apollo (<bibl><ref target="GEIBibl/#bibl2090"><title level="m">NCIDélos</title></ref>, 53</bibl>; Chankowski 2008, 237, 258-260).</p> 266 <lb/> 267 <lb/> 268 <lb/><p>Carusi, C.
