The So-called “Decree of Delos”, Again (Jos. AJ 14. 231–32)

Abstract

This note supplements my article in this journal (2005), where argued that the “Decree of Delos” of 49 BCE quoted by Josephus at AJ 14.231–32 is not a decree and cannot be from Delos. Here I point out that the document must be from Ephesus given that its eponym was ‘Boiotos’ and the eponym at Ephesus for this same year can be shown to be ‘Boiotios’.
