General (?) regulation concerning sales of priesthood at Miletos
Date:- ca. 400 BC
[.....9.... οἳ] ἐπρίαν[τ]-
[ο] τὰς ἱερε[ω]σύνας γίνε-
[σ]θ[α]ι· τὰ δέρματα πάντα,Commentary
The document is typical of ritual norms for cults and priesthoods in many respects, yet unusual in at least one notable regard. As commonly interpreted from the first extant line, it appears to be a regulation that applies to all of the individuals who happen to purchase priesthoods in the city of Miletos (cf. Sokolowski). The practice of the sale of priesthoods is indeed relatively well-documented in Miletos (cp. CGRN 100, CGRN 138, CGRN 248, and CGRN 249), as well as widespread in other cities of the Eastern Aegean (cf. e.g. Erythrai, LSAM 25). Yet this observation also raises several intriguing questions about the context of the present document, which at the present remain difficult to resolve. General contracts for all priests or a general contract of sale of priesthoods are not otherwise attested. Why would the city of Miletos choose to regulate its priesthoods in this way, and in the following century apparently offer individual priesthoods for sale with more specific contracts? We must presume that the context of the regulation was clarified in earlier lines of the inscription, now missing. Perhaps an alternative interpretation would be that the city sold a limited but specific number of priesthoods for civic cults on this occasion (τὰς ἱερε[ω]σύνας, line 2), which were then regulated in the contract or regulation which followed. Whatever the precise case may be, the regulation proposes general rules about the privileges of the priesthoods, specifically the prerogative parts of meat which were received by the purchasers. Different cases are outlined: first, when the city performs a sacrifice (lines 3-8); then a list of portions which are apparently to be assigned by lot (lines 8-10); next, the case of the sacrifice of an ox (lines 10-13); finally, sacrifices offered on an individual basis (lines 13-15) or by foreigners (lines 15-16, otherwise missing).
