<p> [...] of (the court of?) judges [...] worth not less than [...] drachmae. (5) The <foreign>prostatai</foreign> should assign them by lot to a tribe and deme [...] and <foreign>triakas</foreign>, if the priest confirms them that the sacrifice [has been accomplished]. If they have engaged in drawing lots without the priest's response, they should pay 1000 drachmae as a penalty to the wall-builder during the public examination of officials. The gymnasiarch and the <foreign>agonothetes</foreign> should also make a sacrifice, each of (10) them an adult sacrificial animal of 25 dr., when they are chosen. In the same way, the chosen <foreign>hierophylakes</foreign> should each sacrifice a sheep of 25 dr., the ones of the winter season on the 9th of Theudaisios, and those of the summer season on the 14th of Hyakinthios. In the same way all who have been chosen should make a sacrifice when they come into office, (15) for each table an adult sacrificial animal costing 25 dr. In the same way the <foreign>prostatai</foreign>, too, should sacrifice during the quinquennial Asklepieia a bovine of 250 dr. The priest in function at each time should place offerings on the altar for all those for whom it is prescribed to sacrifice to Homonoia according to this contract. If they do not sacrifice, (20) they should owe a penalty to the priest of 30 dr. per portion, and the recovery of the fine should be completed by the priest and another one of the people accomplishing the sacrifice as if on the basis of a judicial decision. But they should pay to the goddess a penalty of 50 dr., and the transaction should be completed by the priest on behalf of the goddess and another person who wants to and the money should be destined for the making of silverware. All the animals that are sacrificed (25) to Homonoia should be put to the test by the priest and the <foreign>exegetai</foreign> for the amount that the treasurers fix for the sacrifices. He who buys the priesthood shall pay the sum in three instalments to the treasurers, the first in the month Alseios under Aristoboulos, the second in the month Gerastios under the monarch directly succeeding Aristoboulos, (30) and the third in the month Alseios under the same monarch. For what he does not pay within the prescribed timeframe according to this contract, let him owe the double, and the priesthood should be put up for sale again by the <foreign>poletai</foreign>. So that the priesthood becomes more distinctive with respect to all its equipment and the silverware for (35) the sacrifices that take place and so that the people manifests itself as caring also in these respects for the concord between it (the priesthood) and the citizens, the treasurers, having deducted from the account a tenth part of the sum of the priesthood, should use it for making silverware for which the architect should make an estimation and for which he should draw up the record at the latest in the month of Karneios (40) on the 10th under Aristoboulos. The <foreign>prostatai</foreign> should introduce the account to the council in the same month on the 15th, to the Assembly on the 16th. The treasurers should use the rest of the money for what has been ordained. The <foreign>prostatai</foreign> who are in function should choose an epistates on the 16th of the month Alseios (45) for the making of the silverware, and the treasurers should pay to him the tenth part that they took from the sum of the priesthood. When the objects that have been estimated have been made by the architect and examined by the evaluator, the <foreign>epistates</foreign>, having inscribed upon the silverware "From the <foreign>polis</foreign> of Kos. Sacred to Homonoia", and the father's name of the priest, (50) should hand over the price of them to the priest and should write a record in the public archive concerning the buying of the silver and the making of the silverware and the transferral to the priest and the account (of the sums) for the payment for which he (the priest) has been contracted. In the same way, the priest should set down an official account concerning the receipt of these things. In the future, he should answer to the <foreign>logistai</foreign> as it is written with respect to the other priests. (55) The <foreign>poletai</foreign> should draw up the contract for the inscribing of this contract on a stone stele and its setting up beside the altar of Homonoia. When the priesthood has been sold the herald should immediately make a proclamation of the buyer's name and the price for which he bought the priesthood. The one who buys the priesthood should pay for the expenses incurred for the sacrifice of the sale of the priesthood and for the initiation of the priest and (60) the priestess, and for the stele and the inscribing of the contract when he makes the first payment.</p>

<head>Commentary</head>
<p> This inscription regulates the sale of the priesthood of Homonoia. On this type of document, see <ref target="http://cgrn.ulg.ac.be/CGRN_147/">CGRN 147</ref>. The beginning of the text is lost, but the rest is quite well preserved. It is divided in four sections: 1. Sacrificial regulations (lines 1-25); 2. Instalments of the sale price (lines 25-32); 3. Offering of silver vessel (lines 32-54); 4. Various regulations concerning the sale and the expenses (lines 54-60).</p>
<p> A public cult of Homonoia, personification of Concord, is attested on Kos from the late 3rd century BC, as well as in the deme of Isthmos (see <bibl type="abbr" n="IG XII.4">IG XII.4</bibl> 280, line 4; Livadiotti - Rocco). While this cult has been particularly associated with the synoecism of the island in 366 BC (Sokolowski, Thériault), or with the homopoliteia between Kos and Kalymna that took place around 200 BC (Bosnakis - Hallof, p. 240-245; Livadiotti - Rocco, p. 383-384), the evidence suggests that the cult was performed on a regular basis, and not only activated in times of crisis. The sacrificial regulations in our text (lines 1-15) show that the cult was strongly oriented towards the <foreign>polis</foreign> institutions. More specifically, the goddess concerned herself with the entry into civic groups, either the body of citizens, or a board of magistrates. Evidently concord and harmony were essential to the proper functioning of these groups. On the cult of Homonoia in Kos, see more generally Paul.</p>
<p>Lines 1-8: New citizens were required to perform a sacrifice to Homonoia as a precondition to their <foreign>epiklerosis</foreign>, i.e. the allocation by lot of civic and territorial subdivisions (tribe, deme, <foreign>triakas</foreign>). Cp. <bibl type="abbr" n="IG XII.4">IG XII.4</bibl> 318, where a similar procedure existed for manumissions. New citizens were also required to offer a sacrifice to Heracles Kallinikos (see <ref target="http://cgrn.ulg.ac.be/CGRN_221/">CGRN 221</ref>, lines 35-39).</p>
<p> Lines 15 ff: These lines describe a significant offering to Homonoia (a bovine) in the context of the quadrennial festival of the Asklepieia. At line 15, the instruction to offer an adult animal "for each table" is somewhat enigmatic. Perhaps there were more than one τραπέζα? Or should each archon dedicate a table with offerings? </p>
<p> Lines 17-18: On the placing of the <foreign>hiera</foreign> on the altar, see <ref target="http://cgrn.ulg.ac.be/CGRN_147/">CGRN 147</ref>, lines 10-11.</p>
<p> Lines 19-20: Rather allusively, the fine (ἐπιτίμιον) of 30 dr. imposed on each <foreign>prostates</foreign> (among a board of five) who fails to sacrifice is said to be commensurate with "the portion". This probably implies that the fine is a form of compensation for what would normally be given to the priest, i.e. his perquisites from the sacrificial animals mentioned in the previous lines (such as the bovine costing 250 dr.).</p>
<p> Lines 23-25: The priest and the <foreign>exegetai</foreign>, i.e. religious experts, were in charge of the <foreign>dokimasia</foreign>, which consisted in an examination of the sacrificial animals in order to check that they were suitable for the sacrifice, i.e. that they were flawless, and corresponded to the existing regulations, in terms of age, sex, colour, etc. See Feyel 2006 and 2009. In this case, the <foreign>dokimasia</foreign> seems to have specifically aimed at confirming that the value of the animals corresponded to the sum of money allocated by the <foreign>tamiai</foreign>.</p>
<p> Lines 32-54: Part of the income (a tenth) from the sale of the priesthood is consecrated to the production of silver vessel for the sacrifices (ἀργυρωμάτων ποτὶ τὰς θυσίας, lines 33-34), and for which the confection process is described in detail.</p>
<p> Lines 58-59: On the initiation of the priest or priestess, see <ref target="http://cgrn.ulg.ac.be/CGRN_175/">CGRN 175</ref> (Priene), line 36. The alternative may imply that the priesthood could be sold to a men or a woman, but the fact that the contract otherwise only mentions a “priest” rather suggests that the formula was copied as it was from a generic model.</p>
