APC Image: AK 1055: E.M. 12798-q fitted to stele. Small fragment of white marble. This fragment belongs to the famous logistai inscription which forms the basis for a separate monograph published by Professor B.S. Merritt (see brief citation). His publication includes fifteen fragments, numbered a-p. The new fragment, which will be numbered q, fits at the top of his fragment d. The chief importance of fragment q is the fact that it gives the full amount of money borrowed from Artemis Mounichia. It also changes some of the amount previously believed to be recorded on the stele. The numeral which is partly preserved in line 62 gives the interest on the money borrowed from the sanctuary of Poseidon at Sunium. In line 61 are preserved five figures of the capital of a loan from some sanctuary, the name of which is lost. When the slab on which the inscription is cut was re-used in Medieval times the two edges were chiseled away at a slant, and part of the beveled edge is preserved on fragment q.
