Abstract :
This paper seeks to clarify the political situation and the list of
eponymous archons of Athens for the period 300/299–286/5. The recent
suggestion that the archon Nikias served only for the latter portion of
296/5 is rejected; the archons Aristion, hitherto attributed to the 230s, and
[A]mbrosios, newly discovered, are assigned to this period; and Telokles
and Aristonymos, who have been regularly dated in the triennium
291/0–289/8, are downdated to 280/79 and 277/6 respectively.
