IG XI.2 161B (279 BC)

This is the first ‘complete’ Independence inventory, showing the pattern followed thereafter. It is also the first confined to one side; since the inventory is dated to Galaxion, the third month of the year, it seems likely that this side (though labelled side B) was carved before the accounts on the other side (which presumably cover the full year). Hereafter inventories hardly ever run over onto another stele as seems to have been the case with 154, though the accounts often do and though inclusion of the Chalkotheke treasure required use of the edge (side C) otherwise unparalleled. Finally, it is the first inventory to contain the treaure of the new Apollo Temple, now finally completed after almost two centuries. Interestingly, all the dedications appear to be in the Prodomos whereas none is in Prodomos of the Artemision and only the named dedications are in the Prodomos of the Temple of the Seven Statues.

Aside from the long-standing rhymoi of the Artemision, objects are listed individually and described in unparalleled detail, including discrepancies noted between inscribed and "actual" weight. The treasure of the new Apollo Temple has an impressive array of dedications, including many by or in honor of the famous Delian choral society, the Deliades, often in connection with an official sacred visitation (theoria) by a foreign group and often sponsored by dynasts such as Ptolemy, Antigonos and Demetrios. Some of the "new" dedications, however, may go back to the 4th C., and one wonders where they were kept until now. For changes in the Artemision treasure since the Amphictyonic period see p.00.
