This volume is a successor to the second volume of M. N. Tod's Selection of Greek Historical Inscriptions (OUP, 1948). It provides an up-to-date selection - with introduction, Greek texts, English translations, and commentaries which cater for the needs of today's students - of inscriptions which are important for the study of Greek history in the fourth century BC. The texts chosen illuminate not only the mainstream of Greek political and military history, but also institutional, social, economic, and religious life. To emphasize the importance of inscriptions as physical objects, a number of photographs have been included.

This volume is a companion to the editors' Greek Historical Inscriptions, 404-323 BC. It presents a selection of important Greek inscriptions from the fifth century BC alongside English translations, commentaries, and photographs in an accessible reference text for scholars and students of all aspects of Greek history of this period.
